My rat Elliot :)

[Kristen]

A month or two back I got this little bundle of joy! He has grown alot since I got him so he is getting a new cage (or should I say palace? ) for Christmas!
He is very energetic haha. I take him for walks sometimes, and boy do I get some funny looks of strangers
He is gorgeous and I love him so much, even if he does chew at everything


While setting up for christmas I let him loose in the tinsel and gee whiz, he had the time of his life haha.

Thank you
Thats too bad, rats are prone to cancer and other diseases, maybe that's what happened to them.
Thanks again, and I do

i dont really know what happened it was eating fine then the next day i found one dead with his headcut ( i think the other mice cut his head) and then the next day the other one was also dead. I dont know what happened ,it may sound gross but its true.

You know... my corn snake just went into hibernation im sure when he snaps out of it he would love to hang out with Elliot JK

Rats are fun animals i would have some if they weren't so messy

Hahahhahaha Good luck getting a cornsnake into Aus
My mates say the same thing, that his just reptile food haha.

He actually isnt that bad, about the same as the frogs, spot clean everyday and full cleanout everyweek (which isnt hard just change the substrate and re-arange his toys, hides, hammocks ect) I thought he would be worse than he is.

I heard rats can be pretty funny pets. i want a ferret though but i need to wait till my cat..well yea. Idont want her to but its going to happen..prolly sooner then later...
but i would get a ferret afterward i heard they have great personalities. lol

Elliots a cutie!!

[arielgasca420]

My cat would love elliot as a friend! I think she is unable to kill anything (she is too fat). I leave her in the room with my rabbits and bearded dragon all the time. she keeps the dragon warm. she would like elliot because he is so active. I was thinking of maybe getting her a rat as a friend because guinea pigs get too frantic and spook her

Elliot is adorable!!
I love that coloration

When I was in college I had two dumbo rats and a hairless.
Their names were Ninja, Poncho, and Giacomo.
In the pics below are one of Ninja and Ponchos litters, Ninja and Giacomo cuddling, Giac wondering what the camera was, Poncho and Ninja sharing some papaya, and the boys running around their cage.



It's unfortunate that most people don't realize how intelligent these animals really are.

How old is Elliot?

I used to have a ferret! I was at the pet store just yesterday and there was the cutest little munchkins there, only a few weeks old. I had to restrain myself from taking one home But I'm the same as you, I am not supposed to get any more pets untill I loose some of the current ones.
Ferrets are great, I used to take mine for walks down the beach haha.
Thanks!

Haha one of my cats is old and just stares at him from across the room, and the other cat has a screw loose and doesnt know whats going on half the time so I'm safe with him
Aww that would be cute, a little rat and cat friendship! I don't like guinea pigs either, I love bunnies and rats just not guinea pigs haha.

Aw thank you He has darkened up alot since I got him, he used to be alot lighter. I love his color though, and his ruby eyes.

Aww they're little cuties! We don't have dumbos in australia Their ears are adorable!

Yeah it annoys me that alot of people think so badly of them. When I got Elliot everyone was like "Ew why a rat?" But once you get to know him his a gorgeous animal

His about 3-4 months old





And I'm not sure of the date in America but I feel obliged to tell you the world hasn't ended and its 3.20pm on the 21st

[Savannah]

I feel pretty alive.....lol
i think...u might have to pinch me. LOL
Yea we went to a pet store and there were some ferrets and one just came up and checked you out would jump around and try to get you attention. Sniffing totally curious and a sweety. was greay and white...we were sooo tempted but i have a cat that would not like him so much haha and i dont think dad would like em.
its a pet for when i move out.
a girl in one of my college classes last year had a rat. she loves it, before i heard her talk about her rat i thought the same thing uk the eww y? but after talking to her about it now i dont mind, i think they are cute now to.

[Kristen]

Haha that's a relief ;PAnd most people think that these days hahha

[Kristen]

He was playing in my beanie today and I just had to take a picture!

[Heatheranne]

Hahah aw how precious!

[Savannah]

sso cute Kristen! does he like steal or hide things from you? the girl i knew her rat loved to steal peoples socks off her feet.

[Kristen]

Thanks!
He doesn't steal things off me, but if there is something near his cage in reach he will bring it in. I had my washing basket sitting next to his cage and he managed to pull my underwear through the bars and chew them up into some nice bedding :P

[Savannah]

lol thats funny. note to self dont leave clothes nearhis cage. i havent had a rat they sound awesome.
our cat star used to get into our drawers take out socks and carry them around the house. find moms or my sisters socks in my room under my bed. one minute youd have socks to put on for the morning, the next you didn't. and you wouldnt find them till the day had to clean the house. lol
