Are 4 rats too many?

Question

i already have two rats who are both two years old and one is playful while the other one likes her sleep. i was thinking about getting two more young rats and putting them in a separate cage. are 4 rats too many? will this make me a social outcast if i have 4 rats?

Answer 1

no. i think since one of ur rats sleeps alot, it will be like having 3 rats :) but rats do like to play and need lots of attention, so yea. just think about that before you get the other rats.

good luck.

Answer 2

Never too many rats!

Answer 3

Too many is more than you can care for. Can you care for four rats? Can you afford the vet and food bills? If yes, then go for it. I had four females all in one big cage myself.

I'd recommend adopting: http://www.petinfopackets.com/rats/ratin...

Answer 4

No....unless you never leave your house and stay with your rats. I think they are cool pets for someone to have...they are very smart. If they are what you enjoy, get you some more!

Just don't neglect the ones you already have

Answer 5

Heck naw! You can never have to many (Tame) Rats!

You should try buying a larger cage and putting them all in together. It'll definitely save you some money on bedding.:] If you feel like you are being outcasted try finding people on the internet, or get your friends to buy some rats so you can just have oodles of fun talking about them! Lol, I have two of my own, and I love to talk about them, tee hee. :]

Answer 6

no............ 4 rats  are fine  

Answer 7

I personally believe that as long as you have the ability to care and treat your animals right that you can have as many as you want.

Answer 8

its not to many, there are lots of people in the world that have like 8 cats, or 5 dogs, or 10 guini pigs.  

Answer 9

no it wont make yuou a social outcast but no one really wants to hear about you rfour rats so if you are always talking about them to people, then yea it might make you an outcast. hope that helps... GoodLuck! :)
