It is important to note, however, that they are not the Norwegian rats most are used to seeing "up north". They are citrus rats. They nest in palm trees, eat the dates that grow there, along with dropped bird seed, and like to chew on plastic insulated wires. They don't carry the diseases normally associated with rats, and I compare them to chipmunks without the fancy wardrobe.
