I’m not allergic to them but a possible solution might be hairless rats? Do they make hypoallergenic rats?

Get a rabbit cage or something built for ferrets. “Rat” cages are way too small for rats. They need buddies, imo I liked raising boys better. They love hammocks. Bird toys are just as good as rat toys (ladders, ropes, cozies). They love attention and giving kisses!! And don’t burn candles/incense/smoke around your ratties, they have incredibly sensitive lungs. Get them low dust bedding or even better, cloth bedding, for this same reason. They’re so very smart too, so get them plenty of toys and re-arrange their cage every time you clean it to keep them stimulated. Look up the subreddit for rats, you could find lots of info there!

thank you for the important whore lore
Remember when Luke compares shooting womp rats to blowing up a space station

womp rats

I bet this is like the basis of their relationship, though. Rebel command is like, alright go and face certain death doing xzy task. It will be difficult and you have to go fast. Luke is like “pffffff I did that at home so many times only the target was smaller. And moving. And I really couldn’t see that well because sand. This is gonna be cake, guys. CAKE.” Wedge’s reaction the first couple times, even after the death star, is basically that picture. But eventually he’s like sweet space jesus what terrible planet are you from that you keep telling me all these nigh impossible tasks are cake? Everyone’s like oh skywalker is a softie. He’s a squishy ball of love and sunshine, and wedge is like yeah. That is all extremely true but he is also MADE OF TEMPERED DEATH.
(After like the first 3 times Luke starts messing with Wedge. He’s like they want us do run these cables to the bottom of that extremely ominous cravasse? I did that one time when I was five, and uncle owen had me wire the relays with my toes because we had to shoot down this pack of anoobas that were trying to kill us and eat us. Wedge is just like that can’t be true, and yet…)
I really hope Wedge is still alive so that Rey can be all “On my crappy desert planet…” and Wedge can be all “OH GOD NOT AGAIN.”

I only have 3. One is a girl (Planck) and quite possibly pregnant so she has to be separated on her own for at least her gestation period and then I have a boy (Niels) that was on his own and rats need companions so I got him a cagemate (Albert)
I read an article today suggesting that rats are so empathetic that they often mimic their owners emotions and so if their owner is depressed the rats can become depressed NO NO MY BABIES MY POOR LITTLE RAT BABIES I LOVE YOU EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY I don’t care about me it’s too late for me bUT NOT THEM. THEY ARE TOO GOOD FOR SADS
Honestly of all the rodents I’ve owned over the years (mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, miniature hamsters), peoples perceptions of how “dirty” and “scary” each of them are are literally the exact opposite of how it actually is.
Rats are by far the cleanest, smartest, and most gentle, followed by mice. Gerbils are kinda freaky and not quite as clean as mice but are incredibly smart. Miniature hamsters are cleaner than gerbils but not quite as intelligent.
But hamsters.
Hamsters are BY FAR are the most disturbing. They will eat their own body parts, eat their cagemates, they eat their children. Sometimes for no discernible reason. Hamsters are fucking terrifying. They literally eat their problems.
Those beady little eyes. So much sin lies behind them.
so we got a corndog box for the rats and my brilliant roommate cut a hole so all of our rats will become corndogs
