Traveling with a rat ?

RATZ...

How do you train your rat to stay in your pocket? My friend had one and it was so active and curious I wonder how you would do that?

But that would be awesome. Also, do you keep like a plastic bucket in your backpack for the night, I'm sure they don't stay in your pocket during the night. hehe. I'd like more infos on how to keep them when you are on the road. Thank you.

I just have a big cotton sack and three sticks, set up the sticks inside like a tripod and pull the drawstring on the sack tight.
 
RATZ...

Im thinkin of getting a rat. then i imagined myself at a gig or fest..where would you put a rat? any ideas?

I met someone last summer that was traveling with a rat at an old time music festival. She just put it back into her guitar case and it seemed to be real happy. I've also seen people who had water bottles with air holes poked in them. They seem to be really hardy little things, not really a surprise since they seem to be able to live almost anywhere and eat almost anything.
 
I'm only allowed to sleep on my dad's couch until mid July, so I'm getting back on the road again. My only issue is that I've never traveled with a pet before, but I don't want to leave my rat with my dad cause I know he won't take care of her.

If you have any suggestions, tips, and what-not, I'd really appreciate it.
 
Okay, I moved a bunch of posts from a previous thread from the black market section, since the subject started drifting way beyond the original- hope it helps!
