Pet rat

I want to get a pet rat.

Today I was told that they mark the territory and even the owner. And in general, everything.

I got upset, but then I found an article on the Internet that castration helps with this. I rejoiced and immediately found a suitable clinic and even chose a more or less suitable cage for my future pet. In the course of web surfing, I came across another article.

In this article, a rat breeder talked about how people selfishly neglect the health of a defenseless animal only for the sake of their own comfort because this is not a nail clipping but a surgical operation that is not only very dangerous on its own, for example, due to anesthesia, but also deprives the poor animal of its body part.

Shit.

Of course, I refused the idea of castration.

Now I’m thinking about whether I should get a rat that marks everything in its vicinity, and you are responsible not only for this but also for your behavior and attitude towards this fact.

After all, you become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
