Ask any rat keeper in this world and they will tell you the same thing - rats are the sweetest creature ever. Rats are loyal and affectionate. They will always notice your every single movement and hoping that you'd come over and check on them. For us, we have so many things in our lives to care about and we have things that will keep us entertained, schools, work, friends, family, movies, shopping mall, etc...; but for the rats, they only have one thing in their life to look forward for, which is us. So it is our responsibility as an owner to ensure that they receive the deserving attention from you. Show them that you love them too by petting, rubbing, massaging, scratching, kissing, cuddling, grooming, fondling, tickling them. These are some healthier ways to make your rats feel happy beside giving them treats. But bear in mind that, all rats are individuals and what one rat likes may not be what another rat likes. My Milo loves me scratching her back and would stay still for hours for me to scratch and eventually fall asleep. Tickle however loves petting and cuddling. She'd let me hug her in my arms and pet her for hours and if I've pet her long enough, she'd grind her teeth and slowly falls asleep.
