He's a husky mix (not sure what the mix is). We've also got a husky, 2 husky/malamute mixes, a saluki and 4 doha specials (mixed breeds!!). And all 9 are big dogs but Byron (in the photo) is the biggest :D

I've had 4 in the past... They make great pets and like me and you said - the males are the friendliest. They are so intelligent and love to sit on your lap and watch tv :D

I used to have 2 rats as pets and they are lovely animals. Males are better to have as they are not as nasty and you can handle them much more.

I feed them to my python. But can't find any these days so I have moved on to chicks now! Had gerbils before, they don't smell like rats do.

Oh nooo noo nooo, They are hideous, just look at those clawed hands and what of the sharp teeth.

Yes cats and many animals have them too but they certainly dont share the traits of rats!

Disease ridden rodents creep me out. Theyve been known to take bites out of people

All due respect anyone who keeps rats is odd.

If they escape we don't want new infestations!

We used to have gerbils as pets, all i can remember is they used to bite my mum a lot!!

Id love to have one cuz they are incredibly intelligent but it would be a problem since sometimes i feed rats instead of mice to my snake,so he would sense rats scent which would tease him and annoy..

I had pet rats in college. They are very intelligent and can be very affectionate. If you get them young they get accustomed to you and incidents of biting are reduced (you may still get bit if you startle them or hurt them). I always had two so they could keep each other company. Their diets are very exact though and you should feed them the recommended food pellets. Their life expectancies are only around 2 years though so if you get attached be ready for it.
