Hi! This is the first time I've posted here. These are my pet rats, Shira and Chava. Shira, who has a blaze on her forehead, is incredibly intelligent, mischievous, affectionate, and her favorite hobby is shredding paper. Chava has amazing curly whiskers, is laid-back, calm, very gentle, rather vain, and her favorite hobbies are sleeping and bathing herself.

Beautiful shots of your alert, intelligent little friends

I love how you've captured their bright eyes and inquisitiveness🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

I think you've done a great job here. I'm an animal lover, but never considered Rats as possible pets/companions. I have heard that they do make good pets.
I see you joined in 2011. I'm glad you have finally posted something. Will this be just the beginning?

Oh, thank you so much! I can definitely guarantee that rats make absolutely wonderful pets. They're smart, clean, highly intelligent, gentle and affectionate. :)
I didn't realize I joined way back in 2011! It was around that time that I took a break from photography, which lasted until this year. So I think it may indeed be just the beginning.

Welcome. Nice first post. I don't care for rats, though.

If humans all grew up wild . . . I wonder if you would think about them the same?

Adorable! I happen to think/know that rats make great pets. They are clean, curious, affectionate, and intelligent. My husband and I have taken care of a neighbor's pet rats on a number of occasions, and neither one of us wants to give them back when the rat-sitting is over.

How lovely of you to take care of your neighbor's pet rats! It's great that you see all their positive qualities. Hmmm - do you live near me? I'm going out of state for a conference at the end of February, and I need a rat-sitter. :)
