About a month ago, I visited a rat cafe in Japan and it was my first time with rats. I’d had hamsters before and got bitten so many times I was worried they’d be similar. The owner assured me I could pick them up and hold them but I was still a bit nervous. However, the rats were surprisingly calm, especially the older boys. The younger girls were super energetic and skittish but still very inquisitive! They’re so adorable! They had plenty of space to roam and the owner explained she teaches them a few tricks after I showed her a video of a rat driving a mini motorised car I’d seen online. Highly recommended! A must visit for rat lovers if you find yourself in Japan!
