Grand Rapids Rodent Removal Tip:

Can a Rat Be a Good Pet?
When many people hear the word rat, it brings to mind beady-eyed, disease-ridden critters who run around scrounging for food and terrorizing humans. However, rats are often very misunderstood animals, as virtually every habit that makes them unappealing to humans is simply a survival instinct. In fact, many people enjoy having rats as their pets, as they have several attributes that make them appealing to certain people. Continue reading to find out if a rat can be a good pet for you.

Cleanliness
Despite being known for carrying many diseases, rats are very clean creatures. They are almost constantly grooming themselves to get any dirt, dust, or debris off of their fur. When a rat comes into contact with any dirt whatsoever, one of their first reactions is to clean themselves. In addition, when rats are with other rats, they will even clean each other, as they really love to be clean and neat creatures. In addition, any food that rats find is generally placed into organized piles, keeping your house neat.

Friendliness
It might seem odd that a critter that has such a bad reputation is actually very fond of its owners. Rats love being around their owners whenever they can be, and they are actually quite social creatures. It might be surprising, but rats are very intelligent and can recognize their owner by their voice and their sight. Rats are just as cuddly with their owners as a dog or cat is, and they even try to groom their owners, as they accept their owner into their pack. Rats are highly content to just be around their owner and will accompany the owner with whatever he or she is doing.

Intelligence
Rats are very intelligent animals, and they learn quickly through experiences and from positive and negative associations with these experiences. They can actually be taught to perform a wide variety of tricks, making them very trainable. In addition to their general intelligence, rats also show an aptitude for emotional intelligence. They can actually tell when other rats are distressed, and they will do their best to comfort them.

Health
One of the major concerns that come with having a rat as a pet is the rat's health. Rats generally do not live long, at most around four years. In addition to their short life span, rats tend to have many health problems as soon as one year into their life, making it very important that owners realize their rat may not live for a long time. If you want to prolong your rat's life you will need to take it to the vet often, be sure to keep its bedding clean and provide it with good food and plenty of exercise. If you want to own a rat, just be prepared in knowing that you might not get to spend a very long time with your pet.

Cost
If you are looking for a cheap pet, a rat is not a bad way to go. Once you have purchased the rat, all you need is a place for it to live, food, and a few other simple items to purchase. While the basics of owning a rat may be cheap, owning a rat can eventually incur some pretty hefty bills. The expensive part of owning a rat is when you begin having the vet check your rat, perform various medical operations on it, and any other health-related expenses. While many rats may not require many health-related expenses, others will incur many expenses.

Conclusion
Hopefully, this article gave you a quick overview of several of the pros and cons of owning a rat as a pet. If you weigh each of these factors out, you should be able to come to a conclusion of whether or not a rat is an ideal pet for you.
