Thoughts on pet rats?
I'm thinking of having one in my dorm room next year. Decent amount of floor space, I'll be able to supervise at least an hour of out-of-cage time a day. Anyone with any experience?

Rats are awesome, more than an hour out of cage would be great but they'll take what they can get. Google.

In b4 "get two", shitstorm, etc

There have to be at least two rat threads in the first four or five pages on the board.

Rats are generally great pets. Not like hamsters which get scared and bite first thing. They're smart, friendly and sweet. (There is always the exception) Go to your local pet store and ask to hold one. Make sure its not a feeder rat and is a pet quality rat.

OP here
I did; little guy was adorable, but scared shitless. Literally. I suppose it's only natural that he'd pee on me when he was scared; I think that would alleviate as he got used to me.
