I had a walk around Priory main lake today for a change and on my way, I met this guy walking towards me with a little ball of fluff walking beside him.
I thought cricky! That's a small dog!
Turns out, he was taking his pet Hooded Dumbo Rat for a walk. After it posed for some nice photos, I had a long chat with the guy as the rat sat on my shoulder.
I think I now know all there is to know about rats.
