I have had rats and I personally think they are one of the best pets to have, they are very social and intelligent animals and they are also one of the most clean animals, despite what people may think. Keep them busy, plenty of things to climb and play with, and lots of space to move around it, they may not be big animals, but they need lots of room and activities to keep them interested. Give them lots of things to chew (wood etc) this keeps their teeth in good condition.
Clean them out at the very least once a week, twice is better, especially as the females wee has a stringer smell than males. And finally handle them plenty, they bond very well with their owners as long as they are handled a lot. Mine would spend most of the tine out of his cage and following me around, they really are lovely animals.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
