I know the truth about pet rats: that they are adorable, sweet, social, and very clean animals. My parents, however, do not believe this and instead think pet rats are horrible, nasty, disease-carrying, dirty creatures.
My mom is the worst with pet rats, or more commonly known as fancy rats. My dad has at least admitted that rats are somewhat adorable, and for them, that's like saying they are amazing critters!
Whenever I ask my dad if we can get some type of small rodent, his response is usually "Your mother doesn't want any."
I just want to show my mom that rats are cute, cuddly, and social critters if handled and tame. I really do think she would like fancy rats if she knew the truth about them, as long as she looked past that bald tail of theirs!
I don't even want to convince her so that I can get a rat. I just want her to know the truth about them. The best way I could think of doing this is letting her interact or letting her watch me interact with a rat. However, none of my friends or family members have any rats she could meet. Also, there are no small pet rescues nearby. Any idea of how I could go about doing this? There is no way I could convince her to meet up with a rat breeder to see the rats. Any help is appreciated!
