Disney's Ratatouille Film Boosts Demands for More Pet Rats

LONDON Oct 28 - As if your kid needed more excuses for having a rodent pet. With the launch of Disney's film "Ratatouille" featuring a chef-rat from Paris, demands for rodents have skyrockted in some parts of London.

According to Pets at Home spokesman Steve Fairburn, "It's early doors yet, but it seems 'Ratatouille' has done wonders for the image of rats," He also added, "Contrary to popular opinion, rats are actually one of the cleanest and least smelly pets you can own. They are incredibly responsive to learning and can be taught to do amazing tricks, much in the way that dogs and cats can."

It isn't just London that is experiencing a surge in demand for pet rats in summer but also parts of the USA, Germany and Sweden.
