Matisse- emin's pouched rat, showing all just how "dangerous" an animal he was. Look at him biting my fingers, tasting them!! This is an animal who allowed a 21 month old kid with possible ADD pet him!
The emin's rat is related to the gambian pouched rat. They're slightly smaller and sleeker in appearance. They have a longer snout, a clear line of demarcation from their whiteish belly and brown upper body, and their fur is slick looking. The gambian has a stocky build, is uniform grey colored, has a shorter snout, and a "rougher" looking coat.
Please fight the good fight and make pouched rats LEGAL PETS AGAIN IN THE USA! They are very much love...
