I'm a bit confused, I thought most rats lived for 2 or 3 years so.. aren't they both "elderly" ?
18 Bright Siders Show the Bond Between Their Pets, and It’s Total Friendship Goals
The friendships between animals may seem like a myth, as it’s hard to imagine one as strong as that between 2 people, like a man and a woman. Sure, the latter may cause controversy, but animals can certainly be friends too. Fluffy, soft buddies who play with a ball, sleep, and mock their owners together are just a few examples of what we’re talking about. And if you think your pet will never accept a new animal into the family, we have some photographic proof to change your mind.
Bright Side readers shared photos of their animals who have a “purrfect” friendship. They love each other, show support, and treat each other well. And these relationships are simply the sweetest things in the world.

I had no idea they didn't live for many years... I wonder how comes that they still can be seen as a plague if they die so fast
They just reproduce a lot ?
I see, I would never take one as a pet in my house tho.. are you sure they are safe? I always heard these animals are very prone to diseases
I had a rat before and while it's true that they are prone to them, it doesn't make them dirty or like dangerous to have.. you know? All in all I think they are a great pet because they are smart and cunning and ofc.. very cute!
