Bush Rats
Bush rats are part of the Murids species with guinea pigs, Bunnies and even Prairie dogs. Their scientific name is “Rattus fuscipes.” Bush rats abundantly hate peppermint oil and are omnivores which means they eat meat and vegetables just like us humans. These types of rats have round ears that can grow up to 18-25 mm big. That's the size of the black cricket.
Bush rats have tails shorter than their body and are furry unlike normal rats. They have lighter fur on their belly than the rest of their body.
Bush rats live in rainforests and woodlands. They live under logs and can live up to 5 years like flying squirrels and Anole lizards. Rats that live in the forests live under logs or rocks to hide from predators such as foxes, dingoes and snakes.
Bush rats are as heavy as Javan pigs at a weight of 76 grams. When they
become adults they will barely leave their home. Rats are dying everyday and one is probably dying right now. Rats don’t deserve the hate they are getting and should be given a home. Rats shouldn’t be tested in labs and deserve to be treated better.
