Question: What are youre rats called

Robert Ives answered on 6 May 2020:

Hi. I simply call my rats ‘the boys’. I don’t tend to give them individual names, although they do all have their own personalities and I can tell them all apart. I go to see them most days and they always come over to get a tickle (they like their bellies tickled) and have a gentle chew on my fingers (they never try to bite hard and are really friendly). The boys are also really clever and can learn new things really quickly. They like similar flavours to humans and that’s why they are so good at being ‘taste testers’.
