The folks who created this holiday want
you to know that rats are great pets!
They
urge us to rethink the horrible reputation of rats with slogans like:
“Everything's better with rats.” and
“Rats are palm-sized
puppies.”
Some
rat lovers are even hosting events like free physicals for rats,
agility races, and “ratchats,” whatever they are!
And
who could resist World Rat Day postcards featuring pictures like this
darling one by Nadya Slenders?
Of
course, most of us don't live near a WRD event – but
private parties, or “ratfests,” are a great idea for those of you
who are already rat fanciers.
For
those of you who aren't rat fanciers...
(yet)....
Today
is a great day to learn more about rats.
Here
are some adorable photos with captions that explains why rats make
awesome pets.
- Nurtured rat pups grow up to be calm rat adults; rat pups who aren't licked and groomed enough grow up to be anxious. Learn about this epigenetic pattern here.
