Where do you people get your info?
Yes, a second rat is the best option, but a solo rat is not necessarily a depressed blob of sad. I kept a lone female, and even take her to school with me from time-to-time (they didn't mind as long as she was caged during class) who lived to almost three years and she was always energetic, healthy, and very social. I don't buy into all this "you don't speak rat" bullshit, because I certainly don't speak dog and mine is very content being alone.
I currently have two male rats, only one of which is social. He never "helped" or "tamed down" the first rat I bought, which has been skittish since day one, so basically, one male rat gets to go to the store for yogurt treats while the other languishes in his cage, being depressed and sickly even though he does have a companion.
