    I've always wanted rats but I just don't think I can deal with a lifespan of roughly 3 years; it must break your heart to lose them. Three years is a short time.

      Yeah I always hear the same thing. Know lots of former rat folk and they eventually have to stop with their hearts too broken.

      I had mice when I was a kid and it was sad when they died, especially because first one died and then the other seemed to die from loneliness or heartbreak a week later
