Some people are appalled by rats. I think they are kind of cute. Maybe it stems from handling so many of them during my career in scientific research.

This baby African soft fur rat is safe and comfy in the caring hands of the professionals at The Pipsqueakery in Indiana. He's adorable.

My nephew's wife used to rescue the rats from the university lab, many years ago when she was a student.
