This is fucking precious.

As someone who adores rats, I absolutely hate how short their lives are. I'd love to keep some as pets but I couldn't emotionally handle having my heart broken every 2 to 3 years when one of them dies.

I've been hoping someone would start a gambian pouched rat breeding project because of exactly this

Yes! I legitimately looked into this for that very reason. Instead, my wife and I have a rat puppet that we've personified to the point that we consider it part of the family.
