Wow, you scarily remind me of myself! I agree, owning a rodent is way different than any other animal and I grew up with a vet as a dad so I’ve had most types of animals. The closest I can compare them to is a horse, very intelligent emotionally/socially and very cheeky. Their size also allows you to have them almost anywhere and I was always with her so I think that may be part of the experience too. I miss having her - she would love to dash across the bed, stop by me for a scratch on the head, then do it over again until tired. A rat room and possibly breeding them is my dream as much as that concerns my partner :)
I also have my Ratty’s ashes, I’ve lost so many pets over the years but I was saddest with her. I’m happy you at least got a nice moment with him at the end, you sound like a very caring owner. I hope you get all the rat/mice you want one day, they’d be very lucky. I haven’t had a rat for a bit now but Greybeard reminds me just how much I loved it. Thank you for the YouTube rec and good luck with your rodent adventures, I had a great time hearing about Greybeard
