Rats are actually very clean and groom themselves constantly! I'd give mine little baths and they'd just sit there all spooked up waiting for it to be over lol
They can also be potty trained though males are easier than females so you better be ok with giant nuts being dragged around your place.
Why are their nuts so big?
It's a mating strategy as sperm volume increases the rat's chance to reproduce. Single female mates with multiple males and more volume translates into higher chance for male's sperm to succeed.
In general, nut size directly correlates with promiscuity across most species so you can tell how a species fucks just by looking at their balls :D
Uh... Thanks, I guess. I should be more careful about the questions I ask. lol
That's also why gorillas have tiny testes: total wife guys!
A rat version of Little Red Riding Hood would be so amazing.
"Grandma? Why are - why are your... Ehm..."
Mostly the herpes and other disease transmitted through blood and feces.
They can also help people be cleaner. Having them as pets strongly encourages tidy cable management and frequent vacuuming behind furniture. 😁
Nothing that lives in sewage is clean, least not the things that clean themselves with their mouths. What makes something unclean is not dirt, it's the pathogens.
Exposure empowers the immune system so the "dirty" rat is likely to cary less pathogens than many people 😬
They're more likely to be immune than us to what they carry.
