Have you EVER owned a rat?
I have a few questions about pet rats:
1. Is there anyone out there who didn’t like them as pets?
2. How easy are they to train?
3. Can they eat dog food?
4. What is the down side to owning a rat?
5. The up side?
6. If you have ever owned a sugar glider please compare them.
7. Do they need any special heating in there cage?
8. Do they smell?
9. Will it run away from me if I put it on the floor?
10. How can I convince my mom to let me have one?*she hates them*
Please tell me anymore important info that I have not added.
I want to know everything, the good and the bad.
Thank you VERY much.
yes. I've both owned and currently own rats.
many people are scared of them because of their image as "vermin", and they haven't been educated properly. Wild rats are a totally different thing to the pretty little domestics. The impression I get is that the majority of domestic rat owners hate wild rats, and would not hesitate to kill one if they came across it.
They are very easily trained, as long as you are consistent in training. Start very easily, get them used to you, by handling them very frequently. Hand them to different people (making sure that children are supervised at all times, and very very careful when handling them) the constant handling is good for the rat's socialisation.
Get them used to your presence in the cage...offer food (they love peanut butter sandwiches with no margarine) or such things to gain their trust, and then when you have their trust, teach them tricks and what not. There are some great books on training rats, go to your local library.
The down side, they *may* (though this is very rare that I can gather) develop territorial behaviour, and start biting. If this happens, take nippy to an animal rescue shelter, or keep her carefully, because it can't be fixed (one of my rats was like that, and I *very* carefully kept her until she died).
The up side...they are very very very affectionate, always eager for human contact and very easy to care for once you know how.
I've had a sugar glider, and they are nothing like them. Sugar gliders are wild animals and don't interract like rats do.
They don't need special heating, but they do need to be kept away from drafts (the cage needs to be put up off the floor (I keep my rat's cage on a small table in the hallway). They also need to be kept away from extremes of temperature, as they cannot handle them well at all. Make sure they have a "shelter" of some type in their cage (shoe boxes or sturdy school lunch boxes with holes cut into them work well) that they can retreat to.
Rats are naturally nocturnal animals, and when you bring them home at first, they may stay up all night (which is quite noisy! make sure their cage is away from bedrooms). Also, put a cover over their cage at night. Eventually, they'll take on your habits, and sleep at night.
They smell only if you don't clean them (male or female, the smell is the same). I recommend cleaning them twice a week at most, because they need their "scent" in the cage. They tend to smell more if you over clean, because they mark if they cannot smell themselves (always put a little of the old bedding back into the cage, so as they have their smell and are less likely to mark).
A rat will run around if you let it (they're curious little munchkins). If you let it loose, make sure all the doors (and windows, they can climb if you give them the chance) are closed, that draft stoppers of some type are put against the doors, that small spaces are covered (because they will get into the tiniest spaces) and that other pets/children are kept away from them when they're loose (you don't want anyone stepping on them by accident!). It is absolutely crucial (to me) to keep young children away from the cage, no matter how much they beg, unless supervised near, or while handling the rats. Also educate anyone who will be dealing with the rats that rats can get nippy when fingers poke through cage bars, because they think fingers are food. If someone gets bitten while doing this, it is not the rat's fault. They don't pre-meditate it.
My rats often nibble at my fingers when I put things into their cage ... they are exploring my fingers, wondering if they taste good 
There is a difference between a nibble and a full on bite. The rat will scrape their teeth over your finger if they are exploring (which is actually quite pleasant...I feel very bonded to my girls when they nibble me) and if they bite, you know about it. They give you very sharp bite, maybe a bit of a mark, or bruise, or even draw blood.
I'd advise you to get your mum some books on rats and rat care, and show her websites (there are some great ones on the net) take her to the pet shop to hold them (the staff are often willing to let them out for a pat) show her my post if it helps.
Anyway, I hope this helps you and give your rat a welcome home pat (or two or three!) for me
