Rats make ideal pets for young and old alike and are ideal for those at work or school during the day as they are nocturnal, sleeping during the day and waking in the evening.

Their intelligence and tameness, their ease of care and the wide range of coat types, colours and varieties make them a popular pet in many countries today.

Apart from the initial expense of the cage and equipment rats are cheap to keep and require relatively little care. However, as with any pet, keeping a rat requires commitment to caring for it whilst it is with you, including veterinary treatment if it becomes ill.

They take up little room only requiring a cage in which to be kept and so are ideal for those living in apartments for small houses
