I Haven't Seen Any Rat Owners On Here Yet

I had a lovely all white female rat once for a pet named Lily. She was quite easy to handle and would sit on my lap for hours watching TV with me. Unfortunately, my now ex boyfriend thought it'd be a good idea to get her a "friend" and placed another rat in her cage with her. For some reason, from that moment on she became incredibly protective of her new friend and wouldn't even allow me to reach my hand into the cage towards either of them without trying to bite me. I eventually surrendered them to the pet store as I was about to have a baby and couldn't have a biting rat around.
