Hi, there's a discussion in the Vegan Pets group on feeding rats a vegan diet. Can anybody here help with this?

my rat died cause of the heat :( he was the best rat ever. <3

gotta love rats though, smart animals, but people still think of them as vermin.

i dont have any pet rats (unless you count the wild ones hiding in my house) but i find them to be fascinating and, at the risk of sounding feminine, cute!

My baby just came out of the cage for the first time, i've been waiting for two days! She came up to me, finally, i've been waiting 24/7 since they moved in. Now i just gotta make the other one come to me as well :) I haven't lived with rats for 2 years, since my Firemaw died.. But now I remember that the reason for living is rats!

Spent the bulk of my youth defending the good name of rats everywhere. :) Whenever someone found out I took care of some, I would always get the same, "Ew, ugh, ick, guah!" response. Preeeetty pathetic. I mean really, what is wrong with their tails? I've even had people passionately hate both rats and birds simply because rat tails and bird feet have—oh I can hardly bring myself to say it—SCALES!! Poor reptiles don't even have a chance with people with that kinda criteria goin' on—and I've seen my fair share of humans that were a bit on the scaley side.... Anyways, rock on to you guys that can 'handle it' >:D

I used to breed rats until I became so terrible allergic I almost died in front of a rat. It's a shame I'm allergic, they're the nicest creatures in the world. I used to take my rat into school, at my shoulder and during lessons he was sleeping in my backpack (soon I was the Ratchild, ofcourse).
When I was eating chocolate and he was at the other side of the room, he came running at me like a maniac! :) Chocolate, chocolate!

Once, I was in the Vondelpark (a large park in Amsterdam). I was with some friends, for a picknick. There was also a dog with us. Suddenly, he became wild and wanted to get something. I saw a glimpse of silver and I pushed the dog away. I grabbed the rat and without thinking, I putted in my shirt. It was a little silver rat who was abandoned in the park. I was really lucky though, it could have been a wild rat! :) I named the little rat Vondel and we were very happy together. :)

Rats are the sweetest creatures! I used to breed them and now have 2 beautiful girls! I love Molly's comment about "they're like little cats with naked tails." LOL! We have cats too and they all get along.
