i have one now, since his buddy died 2 mos ago of old age. but rats are the sweetest little pets you could ever have!!!!
unlike hamsters, they do best in pairs and like to be cuddled and held and petted. they are not creepy animals as their reputation suggests. the rat i had (Chunky) that died liked it when i held him and rubbed his chin. he would lick my hand as i did this.
just do a google search on pet rat and you'll get tons of positive information.

I had a pet rat!
She was the sweetest thing. I used to put her on my shoulder while I was working on the computer and she would just sit there.
They are great, low maintenance pets.
Just 2 things. 1) Rats are nocturnal. Do not keep your rat in the same room that you are sleeping in. They will keep you awake all night with their playing and exercise. 2) don't have them around anything you like or is valuable. They like to chew and they will chew it to death.
