I just love rats!! They make such good pets!:thumbsup: Mine seemed to just stop peeing and pooping on me as they got older. I always had a shoebox or some kind of house for them to run in to on the couch. When I was home they had the run of the couch(covered of course), and they always seemed to go potty in and around their house, not on me. My cats loved playing with them too. I once had one named Missy that I had a harness and leash(sp?) for and I carried on my shoulder almost everywhere I went. She would nibble on my neck when she wanted down to go potty. Never did pee on me. :stoned:
