You can teach rats tricks, you can litter train rats, you can carry a rat around on your shoulder, a rat can get along with other pets as long as they are not smaller than the rat.
The only good thing about a hamster compared to a rat, is that its not as demanding of your attention.
No, hamsters and rats are different species so can't reproduce. I would have thought rats and hamsters would probably fight, as Syrian hamsters are extremely territorial and rats are so much larger than hamsters anyway.
No. hamsters are very diffrent from rats.
Yes.
rats
Hamsters originate form Syria.
It depends on the hamster (:
Rats communicate in various ways, including scent marking using urine. So female rats will attract males. Also, a good home for rats will attract more rats. Many people will say that if there are rats, there are seldom mice in the same place - which is true to a point - rats will eat mice.
hamsters are rodents because they are like rats and mice
hamsters are really cute they are easy to handle and they are fun to play with Rats are horrid creatures they can carry disease
No.
It depends on which hamster you are planning to get. Usually the smaller hamsters are much more angry than the larger ones. I work at a vet clinic and we had one come in that was just a little devil!! They usually bite fingers and like to go to the bathroom all over your hands. Rabbits on the other hand are much more laid back, again depending on the breed you get. It also depends on how you raise them. I prefer guinea pigs, but that is just me. :) Hope you have fun with your new pet, if you get one! :)
Girl hamsters behave best they are more calm. Boy hamsters like to fight
