When
I first decided
to get a pet rat
I went to the
pet store and
got a book on
them. I was
amazed by what I
learned, so much
stuff to know.
About two months
later I went to
several pet
stores looking
for a young
female rat.
After looking
for an hour or
two I saw her
and three others
in a small cage at
my local pet
store. The lady
there took one
of the females
out and allowed
me to hold her.
She told me they
were about 8
weeks old (you
should not get a
rat if it has
not been separated
from the other
gender by the
age of six
weeks), and some
other things I
would need to
know. So about
20 min later I
took her home.
For the rest of
the day I stayed
with her and
decided on a
name, Sasami.
For the next few
days we learned
to trust and
play with one another,
we became best
of friends.
