Ya big wimp. I have been close up to them, in Canada where I fed them
from
my hand every morning, and over here where a rescue sanctuary had one in
a
large aviary.

Do you also feed the other type of rat, the ones without the furry tails?

Err what type in particular? I have a pet rat which I feed. What *other*
sort of rats are there?
