My oldest was my first ratty Nibbler, he was ALMOST 4 years old when he passed, a couple more months and he would have been 4 years!! Get one PLEASE from a responcible breeder or a rescue, not a pet store rat, costs a few dollars more but health is most often gaurenteed as good breeders breed for the quality of the pets (good health genes and temperments) and not Quanity like Pet stores where they dont care as long as they are reporduced!! And NO Pine/Cedar shavings, use Carefree or Aspin (my ratticles has Aspin)!

Here is MY ratticles!!
