Wow sounds like you had a well trained rat! My two are still a bit skittish, especially Mindy. Lucy is a bit more confident. but I dont see me taking them to the park, not around my area! busy street!! lots of cats and dogs. I had a rat years ago, she was a champagne hooded, she would come to her name ect, I hope I can get these new girls to do the same!!!

Oh that is so sad. 4 - 5 years is good though for a rat!!! I used to have a little girl years ago named Zamilia, she died when my stupid landlord at that time decided to come in and paint the house without telling me. The fumes got to her, and sadly, her 7 babies, and killed them all!!!

Yeah he knew I had them, the worst part was that the d#@*head I was renting with came home and threw the rats outside in the garden and buried them and then told me some of them were still alive so he poked them through the head with sticks to kill them!! He was a cruel so and so!!!
