I keep seeing people sing the praises of E. schrencki the Russian Rat for its docile temperament, great feeding response, etc. I was under the impression that E. anomala was a very similar species and it looks like they're more common in collections. In spite of this apparent popularity (relatively speaking), I never seem to hear anyone talking about them though. I was just curious-is there something about them that makes them less appealing captives than Russians?
