My fiance and I went to the museum.for the shell show.last weekend..we.explored.the.rest of the museum.which was mediocre and maybe ok for small kids. I decided to venture up into the Outside In room on the 3rd floor. They have a white rat that is kept in a small tank. It has a plastic house to sleep in and a cardboard house and that's it. No toys nothing. This disturbed me greatly because I have owned rats before. They are very intelligent animals and need stimulation and a larger housing cage or tank. They are.also pack animals and need to have at least one other playmate. This is very cruel. I tried contacting the museum with no response. Very unprofessional!!!
