Yes. They are social animals that thrive on interractions with both rats and humans.
Rats are social animals and benefit from having companions for their well-being and social interactions. They thrive in the company of other rats and can become lonely and stressed if kept alone.
They should have at least one other cage mate so they do not get lonely and stressed out.
No. Rats should be in pairs or more. They become lonely and depressed if kept in a cage all by themselves.
Honestly, if you play with your rat 24/7 which is pretty hard to do, then no, he/she wont need a buddy. It's a good thing to buy rats in pairs, just don't buy a boy and girl unless you want to pay the expensive fee of getting the boy nutered etc. Rats get lonely, and are very social, but i have one rat, and i play with him a lot so he doesn't get lonely, its really up to you though!
No, but they will definitely be happier if they are. My adult rat was about two years old when we first got her a cage mate. She was more active and gentler than ever before. If you only have one rat and don't handle it often, it becomes antisocial and very aggressive. If you don't play with it very often, get it a cage mate.A:Yes! Most good breeders will NOT sell you a single rat unless they know you and know you have other rats. Rats are extremely social creatures and they need companionship of their own species. They are under a lot of stress when there aren't any other rats around and single rats are more likely to become sick. If you have a single rat, you should be willing to put in a minimum of 4 hours per day with them. Rats are the third most intelligent animal after humans and Chimps (the only species other than those two to exhibit problem solving capabilities) and they get lonely and depressed. A:it really does not matter because it would be happier with a mate to play with but sometimes they could kill one another but it does not usally happen. It is entirely up to you because ethier way your rat will be just as happy as long as it is loved and well looked after.A:Yes, they get lonely even if you spend every minute with them. Rats are extremely social and they need other rats to keep as companions. Single rats can become sick.I would, if i were you it's much more fun and they get lonely easily, my rats hate to be separated for more than 10 minutes, they go and sulk in the corner or run round in circles sniffing and making funny noises.
I'm so lonely. That dog is lonely! I'm not lonely..

Lonely is an adjective or describing word. Therefore, it doesn't have a plural. See examples; I am lonely You are lonely They are lonely The plural (they) doesn't require a variation on the word lonely.
Domestic rats are best kept in groups of two or more. They are naturally social creatures who will suffer if lest alone, and the company of a human is no replacement for the company of another rat.
The past tenses of "lonely" are "lonelied" and "lonely" itself.
No, rats are vertebrates. Rats have backbones.
