Moms not too keen...
Pet Rats: "Pet Rats
Moms may not be too keen on them, but pet rats are very good animals for the home. Pet rats are compact and will fit easily in any household, whether it is in the city apartment or the country den. Pet rats require very little care and attention. They eat anything—almost—as they are natural scavengers. And they are actually quite affectionate creatures that bond with humans easily and quickly.
Pet rats can also live longer than goldfish—up to two or four years—though not as long as dogs and cats, of course. And pet rats are one of the easiest kinds of animals to train.
If you take a few simple precautions or steps, you can keep pet rats: you just need a rat cage (which is better for them than a hamster or gerbil cage because it gives them room), one that the freedom-loving creatures won’t chew through and run out of. And you need to give them the same attention you would any loveable domestic, so they won’t get bored. But if you are a rat lover, you won’t e able to resist holding them, putting them in your pocket, or carrying them with you on occasion. Just don’t show Mom."
Mom may not be keen now but she will soon grow to love and care for them.
