Yes, it's the fleas that actually carry plague. I love rats. The rats I kept had such sunny dispositions; they really are very admirable creatures who get such a bad rap in most cultures. And they are so much smarter than you would think, too. Unfortunately, they only live two or three years, and after a few years the heartbreak of losing them so often just became too much, so I never replaced my last one when she died.
