Rats and Other Animals
Many people have been asking if rats would be ok near other animals or if they would be too scared. Rats usually do fine around other animals, you just have to be careful the other animal doesn't hurt the rat. Also, rats are predatory so anything smaller, the rat is likely to injure. And no, I would not trust a rat around other rodents. Also, animals such as ferrets should never be allowed around the rats since rats are their natural prey. Just use common sense, watch all interaction and everything should be fine :-)
Also, our rats here are not exposed to other animals because well, we just have rats here. So they will most likely be scared of other animals at first, but they adjust quickly. Sorry guys, but we don't have a zoo here :-)
I found some cute videos on youtube of rats and their non-rat friends. Enjoy!
