The Pros And Cons Of Pet Rats

Owning a rat is an experience that I am grateful I had, everyone who I told I owned a rat would give this disgusted face and I felt I needed to show them the real thing. One day I grew tired of the noises that my friends made when I stated that I owned rats so invited them to meet Darling. Hannah, a girl

For a great rat mother, you would be licking your children a lot. For a poor rat mother, don’t lick their children a lot.

Rat infestations have swarmed throughout the world, looking for food, and spreading diseases, so of course people attempt to get rid of them. First off, they spread disease. It states in Source 1, “Around 60% of the rodents carry Weil's disease...” This quote states that the majority of all rodents, have Weil’s disease. That means that if you see a rat, it is probably infected with disease. This is incredibly dangerous for people walking the street, or someone without a home. That person who does not have a home, could get a disease very easily. The rats can carry disease and they can spread that disease, it even states in Source 4, “It was this rat which ushered in the Black Plague.” In this piece, they are speaking of Black Rats. These rats were probably one of the unlucky 60%, or it was a carrier something that was on them.

Oh honey, you’re just being paranoid. Let me show you that there are no rats.

In the article about the rats it talked about how construction and the mild winter caused reasons for the rat surge. I would expand on this section of the article and go into more detail as to why. Also, I would get in contact with a construction worker who has experienced rats and their views.

The appearance of rats could correspond to inappropritae and unseen activities that occur in one’s home, but there is something more. "As a destroyer of stored food and transmitter of disease, the rat acquired the reputation of being in league with the devil, demons, and witches in their efforts to bring the unsuspecting to ruin."2 The prescence of rats not only hint at inappropriate activities inside of the house, but also at the prescence of witches, something I am quite sure Consuelo is.

These are many reasons why this can make everything better. This can help because rats and mices can show if there is anything wrong with your body and it can help figure out how to make it better. “MIce and Rats may show signs of health problems after only 2 years or so”.

The Roof rat is common to areas that have standing water as well as heavy vegetation. While they were rare in Nevada at one time, the rats are becoming a familiar occurence like this grocery store featured in November 2015. http://www.ktnv.com/news/contact-13/gross-grocers-rats-at-smiths

The articles, “Ah, rats” by John Byrne and “Chicago Is a Rat's” are about how the rat population has started to grow since 2013, because of mild winters.The article states that Chicago is the No. 1 place in the United States where rats live. Through the July of 2012, 28% more people called than in 2011 the city’s 311 center asking for crews to come out and get rid of these annoying pests.I feel, that rats and other rodents are a threat to the Chicagoland area, because the pests carry various diseases and potentially start a plague or an epidemic.A main point was that since Chicago is so densely populated it means that there is a higher percentage chance for unsanitary streets in the city which will result in more rodents and vermin crawling

Eventually, the stress made Rat snap and turned him from a brave medic to a paranoid and crazed man who desperately wanted to escape. He started talking on and on about bugs, “swarms of mutant bugs, billions of them, they had him bracketed. Whispering his name… all night long-- it was driving him crazy.”(209-10) He started scratching at his bug bites till they bled and even then he wouldn’t stop. It wasn’t just the bugs that stayed on his mind. His job as a medic had exposed him to countless corpses and injuries and “[he] start to picture how [his friends] look dead. Without arms or legs… he couldn’t shut off the pictures.”(211) Seeing so many dead and heavily injured people must’ve made him paranoid and fear for his own life because he also

rat couldn't compete with the animals. Feral cats started coming into the area and later colonized

Rat (Jun-Jun) is one of the dumpsite boys that live in a dark hole with rats his the only one of the boys that live on the dumpsite with not family “He was the only kid in Behala that I knew of who had no family at all…” but he is friends with two boys from the dumpsite named Raphael and Gardo so his not so alone as he seems. Rat is small but a smart boy and also thinks ahead just to be sure his friends and himself are safe from danger

The naked mole rat is a very fascinating little creature. “Naked mole-rats are more closely related to porcupines, chinchillas, and guinea pigs than they are to moles or rats and are the only species of mole-rat that has practically no fur” (Zielinski). It’s not very cute to look at. They are pinkish-tan, with wrinkled skin, and a tail. They do not have fur, hence the name naked. They do have very fine hairs on their body to help them feel what’s around them. They are also known as a sand puppy. It’s closely related to the blesmols (Hagan). The have big, strong sharp incisors. These are used for digging tunnels and gnawing on roots and tubers that grow underground from trees and plants.

in other words, due to the lack of patience and perseverance, they could be losing opportunities. Therefor, they often go straight to the core of the matter. Also, they always have bright ideas, thus suitable for the jobs related to computer. Wood rats are moral and they advocate peace and hate war. With excellent luck in wealth, wood rats live a comfortable life but they are too subjective and not good at managing money matters.

Rodents can be found everywhere on earth. Among the several different types of rodents, the ones that mostly prefer to live near humans, being the most numerous, are the mice and rats. They live in colonies which comprise of complex hierarchies, wherein they form deep bonds, often putting their own lives at risk to save family and friends. Their best habitats are cavities, holes inside walls, in sewer pipes, in stores where foodstuffs are kept, in the fields and in garbage dumps. As a matter of fact, they love to live anywhere food is available and is convenient for them to put up a nest. In addition, they can easily adjust to any kind of climate and even wipe out original mammals occupying the same niche.
