Vanessa, Thanks for the OT info on ratties :) I have heard/read of so much about them as lovely pets, but you make them sound not only lovely but ideal. As for their grieving when a mate/friend dies, yes I can see that you would want to guard against that by having, as you say, colonies of them so that they need not be lonely. It's important for everyone to remember - and teach children - that animals are caring as well as loving creatures and deserve not only our kindness but also our sympathy.
Strokings for your rat family,
Pat - with Casey the little blind beagle and Misha the cat (MEEOOWW did someone say RATS?)
