Licky time part II! -emin's pouched ratMatisse, once again, demonstrating how "dangerous" of an animal he was. This is in his birthday cage, he recieved it at 4 years of age, he died about 2 months later.. His original cage was a midwest ferret playpen, and his new cage was a 2 story ferret nation.
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...
