All Answer To Rodents Questions

Answer 1

they have balls

Answer 2

no its all about personality..... but ive heard that the males are tamed easier.

Answer 3

one has a tiny penis, the other a tiny vagina. the same as almost all mammals jack.

Answer 4

The males will ususally be a little larger and a LOT stinkier! If you clean their cage often though, it wont be an issue. Having worked with both genders, I will say that the males tend to be a little bit more friendly (although somewhat unpleasing to view...their "boy parts" are VERY large). Congrats on your new family members!

Answer 5

well they are alot bigger than females. they can be lazy but this isnt always the case. many people say they smell alot, but its only true if you dont clean them out enough.

Answer 6

Males are calmer, sit on your shoulder longer, they have sweet personalities, and like being petted more. Females are more energetic, friskier, like to play, and dont sit still as long.

Answer 7

Generally males are calmer but they are also alot larger, Males smell kind of musky and their balls are REALLY obvious. Females tend to be slimmer and more active. but these are only rules and my female rat is probably the laziest of them all, in the end it depends on the individual rat.
