New Year rat craze grips Russia

The rat's image has had a New Year makeover in Russia Russian pet shops are reporting a shortage of domestic rats, as shoppers snap them up ahead of the Chinese New Year - the Year of the Rat. Shoppers are said to be buying even mice, hamsters or gerbils. But vets warn that some unwanted rats will be released in the streets. While Russia's main religion is Christian Orthodox, Chinese astrology is a pastime for many.
