My brother and I had a pair of rats when we were kids, both males. Very cuddly as mentioned. Mine lived quite a bit longer than 2-3 years. I can't recall exactly when we got them but I know he died in the summer of 1999 and we definitely had him for a while already during the '96 snowstorm, so I'm guessing it was Christmas of '94.

We got a used birdcage and modified it to suit rodents (added platforms, etc.). Knowing my parents, I'm guessing they went that route because it was substantially cheaper.
