Honestly I would love to get 5 but I feel like my dad wouldn't allow it, he knows they need to be in pairs (at least) as they are very sociable animals and need companionship technically he cannot stop me but we'll see what happens. I don't even know where I'll be getting them from yet, hopefully this garden centre that I know takes very good care of their animals, but I don't know how I would feel getting rats from pets at home. I have been looking for breeders and there doesn't seem to be any in my area so I know those are my options.
