They are friendly, trusting, smart, cunning and clean Due to the fact that they reproduce easily and are undemanding in care, they have become permanent inhabitants of laboratories Rats help humans in many studies; our genomes coincide with them by 90-95% That is why so many interventions in human physiology are carried out only after experiments on these rodents And therefore the rat deserves its day in our human calendar It is worth mentioning that we are talking about a domesticated, manual species It is believed that the domestication and breeding of pet animals began in England The animals are fundamentally no different from their wild relatives, but their level of aggression is significantly lower At the same time, their learning abilities are much higher than those of many pets, such as cats When choosing the date, the Internet resource ratlist played a key role; this is the oldest site dedicated to decorative rats Ratlist, created to help lovers of decorative animals, has helped the owners of these rodents Communities were formed there, hot issues were discussed, and animals were offered into good hands In gratitude for the work, rat breeders and rat lovers set the founding date of the resource, April 4, as a celebration of World Rat Day On this day, the animals probably feel the same festive excitement as their owners During the holiday, it is customary to pamper your pets with delicious treats, give them new toys and even cards Rodents happily treat themselves, play with new devices, and carefully tear the postcards and place them in their nest corners with crushed pieces Therefore, paper products related to World Rat Day should be produced using non-toxic dyes The best gift for Rat Day is the rat itself These animals are incredibly social and love company If an animal lives alone in a cage, it develops worse and does not occupy itself to the fullest extent of which it is capable Rodents that live in families are much happier They look after each other, sleep curled up in a tight ball, play together, jokingly take each other's toys, and are able to express information in a unique language If the rat is tired and wants a little personal space of its own, it can go into a corner at any time and sleep there None of her relatives will pester her But if she is bored, she will immediately find company This is why it is so important to keep rodents in the company of their own kind World Rat Day aims to convey such valuable information to all those who love these cute rodents There are many lovers, some are so zealous that they express their feelings through unique slogans “If you want to please me, try to please my pet rat first” “My little rat is the only friend who will never leave me” “It’s hard to be modest when a rat loves you” The most touching and main motto of the holiday is the expression “For the whole world you are just one person, for a rat you are the whole world”
