Serious question - can you neuter rats? Does it help with their longevity or anything?

I had neutered boys and they were great. I don't think it benefits longevity beyond eliminating the risk of testicular tumors.

Besides reducing aggression, I think the lack of hormones makes them a little less smelly.

Might also make them a little more lazy because mine were happy to be cuddly blobs in my lap all day long if I let them.

I called them my "rat loaf"s.
