If You Can't Be With The Pet You Love...Love a Rat!

Interviewing entertaining Jadyn and Tanner Heath

Yvonne: “So, tell us why you like having pet rats?”

Jadyn: “Well, some people can’t have dogs or cats cause they’re allergic or they just can’t take care of a big dog. So we have pet rats!”

Y: “Do you like having pet rats?”

Tanner: “Well, they’re really small so it’s nice. You can cuddle with them really easily.

J: “Bayo is being a snuggle bug right now, but they’re crazy sometimes!”

T: “They’re just really fun to play with. You just hold them…if I could get Hazel here..gotta find her…” (whoops! She is hiding!)

J: “The struggle is real!” (haha!)

T: “So this is Hazel. She will just chill on your shoulder and she is fine!”

J: “My pet rat is Bayo, who is a bit camera-shy, obviously. Their tails are a bit awkward.”

Y: “But they are clean, they’re cuddly and they’re smart! (and low maintenance and inexpensive!)

J: “They try to clean you!”

T: “There are a lot of people who are startled by the word, ‘rat!’ They think, ‘Ew, big sewer rats!’

J: “Here is my hand and this is the size of Bayo! She’s the size of my hand!”
​
T: “Oh yes, they’re vicious killers!”

Y: “So pets re wonderful friends, no matter what size they are! If a dog or a cat is too much, think about getting a rat, or two (they like company!). Again, would you recommend them as pets?”

T: “Yeah, for sure!”

J: “Or it could be any rodent like a hamster, guinea pig or gerbil… or rats! You could get birds, but kind of a mess; no offense!” (This girl is cracking me up!)

Pets are wonderful companions. Moral of the story?

If you can’t love the pet you want… maybe love a rat! ​
