can they really eat chocolate?

how warm do i need to keep it in my house?

can they be alone for an intire day like once every month?

what is the best bedding for rats?

is it ok for the to eat paper and cardboard?

Thanks a bunch!
also can you train them to go in a litter box?

can you use rocks intstead of beding?

I’m allergic to mice so I want to know if theres a relation and if there would be a possible reaction to them or if they are related to them but not to the point of being the same in allergic reactions, if that makes sense?

which is the best pet with care and bonding?I know sugar gliders need food care 24/7 but if it will bond to me im willing to get it

I have tried everything known to man to get rid of rats that keep appearing in my house. I have blocked up any rat holes or whatever that they might come in through, I’ve used the sticky traps, the green blocks that if they eat them it dries up there blood or something. I have put out several rat traps with peanut butter(I heard that they cant digest it), cheese, grapes, just anything I have.
At first the only time you would see them was late at night but just yesterday I was cooking at about 7ish and one of the damn things ran at me adn being as i am deathly afraid of them i freaked and ran and ended up spraining my ankle. I have a sugar glider and being as he is nocturnal he has woken me up pitching a fit because a rat was trying to get into his cage. I don’t want the rats ro be rabied or whatever and end up biting my sugar glider or my daughter..well or myself.
Long story short i need a solution that will work. The rats have got to go!!! PLEASE HELP!!
btw the house was built in the 20′s so its pretty old.
i have dogs also and don’t want to do anything that will harm my dogs and sugar glider.
I own the house. and I am not sure if they are rats. they are for sure rats..they are actually called wood rats. they are about 8 to 9 inches long from nose to where the tail starts to grow.
and they are smart enough to get the food off of a set rat trap and not flip it. (i know this because i have watched one do it!)

I need lots of info on pet rats.
I want to know everything, whats good about them and whats bad.
I’m thinking about getting one but I want to know everthing about them first.
*I got a sugar glider without looking into them first and found out that they are a handfull. I don’t want to do that agian.*
