Glad to hear you're doing better. I hadn't read this thread for awhile and have really enjoyed hearing about your rats. At my first teaching job we always got baby rats for students to train in operant conditioning, etc. The standard routine was to euthanize the rats after you have finished the experiments. I couldn't bear to see them killed and actually found homes for them but ended up having to keep 2 males. They are very social, curious, entertaining, and love to be held and petted. The males do have to sort things out in terms of dominance!
