Are our rats little pranksters? 🤔 Check out my latest article for Lafeber Small Mammals as I ponder whether quirky rat traits are in fact pranks that our rats are playing on us 🃏🐀

(Brinley kindly modeling as a jester. I made this hat for one of my other rats 16 years ago!)

This month I sat down with all 6 of boys to see what pearls of wisdom that Camden, Gatwick, and Regent might have for Brinley, Kelton and Moffett. Age plays a big part in how a rat approaches life, so it’s not a surprise that there was lots of discussion (and some disagreements) about naps 😉😴

Check out what they had to say in my latest article for Lafeber Small Mammals

Younger rats can benefit from older rat life lessons, which include stealing treats and scoring back rubs.
