What is a better pet rat or ferret?
A rat can go stir crazy from being alone, but you can't have 2 male rats cause they might fight. You also can't have 1 male and 1 female cause they might mate and have lots of babies. You don't want that... TRUST ME!!! Also I had 2 ferrets. They were very nice (even though 1 of them bit me... a lot). They are fun to just watch. You could also pick them up and play with them. If you try to do that with a rat... Well, you can't cause rats don't like to be touched by human hands. Ferrets don't care. So if you have to pick a pet between a rat or a ferret. Get a ferret.ANS2:OK, everything that person said is 100% wrong about rats. All rats should be in at least same sex pairs. I have 5 male rats that live together. 4 brothers who are about 8.5 months old and 1 unrelated male who is 2 years 7 months old. They never fight. Male rats can have the odd squabble (mine do) but its never serious. and rats love being held. They are one of the only pet rodents that actually like being held, they thrive on human attention. Plus, ferrets are more prone to nipping, which can hurt, whereas a rat would never bite unless it is seriously ill or its been abused

No. One of the reasons rats populate so quickly is that one male can father thousands of babies with multiple females. The offspring are able to mate too at only 6 weeks old. That being 2 rats can become thousands in a matter of months.

How will a female rat act to a new male rat?
The fmale rat will sniff the male rat, while he sniffs her at the same time. You will need to watch them for about an hour to make sure they don't fight. If you do not want babies, keep them separate. The male rat will try to mount the female rat, if he is not spayed. If you do want babies leave them together for 10 days (If they don't fight.), and you will surely have babies 21 days after she got prego.
