I'm Currently Feeling:  | Rats and babies?
We have 5 cats and have that covered for bobs arrival, but we also have two pet rats and while I assume there wont be a problem I wondered if anyone knew? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | So long as you wash your hands thoroughly after touching them or cleaning their cage you'll be just fine. I have 6 cats, a dog and a hamster and work with animals extensively. Just use common sense and wash after touching them.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thats what I thought, just the same as with the cats. Obviously I won't be doing what OH asked- "Do you think they could come out and play with the baby?" I'm thinking not on that one! |
