We had two rats that I got from Lisa while I worked with her at Controlled Marketing Conferences. They were great pets. We got them when they were really small, and I had a hard time calling them rats because they looked so much like mice that we used to have. Eventually (in a month or two, actually) they grew up to be great looking rats. They ended up being very large rats, and they were great fun to be around.

I did have some photos of them, but I lost them in a hard drive crash, so the pictures are no more. I guess you'll just have to take my word for the fact that they were great looking pets.
