Rats

[Spring]

Some kid told me that rats are in constant pain because they can't control their bladders.. is this true?

I was just curious,

Thanks!

Nope not true.

Rats can control their bladders just fine. My rat, in fact,has gotten so good at controlling his bladder that he can choose whenhe wants to pee. He knows exactly when I'm going to put himback in his cage after play timeand never fails to pee allover my hand in a blatant act of defiance. Badrattie! Bad rattie!

Nope, not true at all! I have two beautiful ratgirls, and one never pee's on me at all, and one never fails but to peeall over me everytime I take her out. I think she's just trying to testmy nerves. :shock:

Anyhoo, insome cases, you can even litter pan train them, I know people who have done it.

Now I can't help but show my two girls off!

Here's Snowball, my little 3 year old senior citizen:

They are so precious! Look at those faces. I wish I could have a pet rat. My mother is afraid of them. :?

Weird thing is, my mother was very afraid of them too. Now she's soattached to my two, it's adorable. I also own 3 mice as well.

Oh ok thanks! I didn't believe it at first, and I was horrified if it was true!

Thanks!

By the way, such precious little things! Cute little ears
