aw 
I hadn't noticed that! Weird...but why on earth would someone search for it?
Poor, poor ratties.
I know is was (I hope) for a good cause...but I associate rats with pets so I makes me sad.Well, they are small so easy on space restrictions. They are friendly, unlike many other pet store rodents. They are relatively cleanly and can be litter trained. They learn to know their names and are decently intelligent.
Actually, there are many reasons I like rats as pets. The only things I disliked were how hard it was to gender type them when they are young so you could end up with unwanted ratties. Also, I felt the need to have a cat when I got a bigger place and that was a huge headache.

I had the same problem with guinea pigs.. mostly because i refused to fondle them.
I knew rats had a certain intelligence to them, I just didn't know they were... you know.... owned by so many people. I thought it was illegal... considering their history and all.
Black rats are the ones known for spreading the plague..and even then they didn't spread the plague. It was the fleas nesting in their fur that did it. The rats were just carriers of fleas.
Black/Wild rats are pretty rare in the pet trade.The ones you see in a pet store are Norway Rats. They have a nice temperament and don't grow as large as black rats. They also come in a wide variety of colors.
...I really miss owning rats.

Maybe someday I will own a rat. Do you think they can defend themselves from a cat?
