Why Rats Make Great First Pets




A practical argument for getting a rat for a pet is that rats rarely get ill, meaning you would be spending less time in the vet's clinic and have more time to play. Rats are innately resistant to various illnesses, allowing them to live longer and be healthier. 

Some female rats may develop tumors in their mammary glands. However, the majority of rats have reasonably healthy lives.

Rats have an average lifetime of three years, which gives them plenty of time to bond with their owners. 

Pet rats are pretty clean. Compared to wild rats, the tame ones delight in maintaining a clean environment. Rats prefer their owners stroking and petting them to keep themselves clean.

When male rats share a cage with other rats, they mark their territory, leaving a unique odor, most likely to occur when a new rat is present, which lasts only a few weeks. 

Pet owners need to clean the cage and accessories weekly to keep any foul odors at bay.

Consult your vet Tampa FL about the best ways to protect your pet from various health issues.
