Tails and whiskers are just two things I ♥ about rats and mice! These little animals are curious and intelligent, and just like us, they want to live.
Be sure to share these facts with everyone you know!
How can your friends and fam show ♥ for mice and rats? Tell them never to use glue traps and always to check the back of products for PETA’s cruelty-free bunny logo, which means that the product wasn’t tested on any cuties. They can check out our searchable database of cruelty-free products, too!
Tell us your fun facts about mice and rats in the comments section below!

So make sure you have a good sitter 
2. They will learn to do tricks for you just to win your affection (but they’ll appreciate treats too
3. They get really sad when you go on vacation and they might chew holes in things from the stress
4. They grieve when a loved one or family member dies.
5. They can be very easily and quickly be litter trained!
These are all the things I have learned from the company of pet rats in my house
