I am curious about having rats as a pet. I’ve seen some videos saying you should set aside like 200-300 for a pair of rats a month for Vet stuff. Is this true? I was hoping to find a nice and cuddly pet that would require little maintenance. Is it true they get sick all the time?
$200 to $300 a month? No, of course not. If your rat gets sick, a vet visit can cost that much but it’s not going to be a monthly thing. Most rats won’t need that much spent on medical care over the course of their whole lives.
