    Default My rats!!!

    My OH hates them.....
    BUT..... rats (along with frogs!) are my favourites pets. I had a pair of rats before I had my baby 2 1/2 years ago but OH 'persuaded' me to get rid of them as he believed they were dirty (they're not, I was just too pregnant to argue!)
    Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, on my birthday I popped into my local pet store to be greeted by a single male dumbo rat who was looking for a new home......... And without OH's support/permission I took Dave (rat!) home!!
    Of course, felt guilty keeping him on his own, so got Dave a playmate, Alfie. OH was even more angry.....
    But then had to get a bigger cage for Dave and Alfie...............................
    OH didn't speak to me for a loooooooooooooooong time
    Anyway, I absolutley love these guys!!!! Hope you all do too

    Dave


    Alfie


    A bit of rough 'n' tumble!!


    Dave, fishing for corn!


    Alfie, fishing for corn!!


    Also, this is my 200th post, do I get a prize/award????

    *prize* for you.

    When I see rats I see frog food (sorry, it's true).

    Nooooooooooooooooooooo John
    Hehe. Funnily enough, feeder rats don't bother me! Snakes etc have to eat too, right? I know these 2 will never be fed to a snake and that's good enough for me
    I'm a member of a rat forum, they'd most likely kick me off if they read that last bit!!

    Oh, and thanks for my prize!

    Frog food? More like snake food, I still have one in the freezer.

    Welcome back Katie, nice to see your smiling face again.

    I love rats as well!! I had two dumbo eared hairless rats (females) and they were two of the best pets I have ever had. Love your pictures-I hope you continue to let us know how they are doing. Sigh...I miss my ratties.....

    lol Ebony!!!! When you say you took her out on a date, i'm hoping you meant that you took her when you went on a date.... And not that you dated a rat!! Think that's ilegal lol

    Yay rats! I had rats for five years, two pairs or males and one little boy who had a misdiagnosed case of mega colon. ): But I loved em all. I miss having them around but I can't really afford them atm.

    Ebony, you made me laugh out loud this morning!! I involved my rats in a lot of things when I had them, but I don't think I every brought them on a date with me....dang, I missed out!! LOL

    I've had several rats throughout my life, and I have to say the dumbo eared are my favs. Katie, you are right-the hairless kind of do look like aliens...and the heat they throw out!! On a cold winter night, I would curl up with Dory and Mika underneath my sweater and a comforter around all of us, and we would read or cross-stitich and they would keep me toasty warm! Ah, good days, good days! I have to say, I am taken with Alfie and kind of jealous right now that you have two of the cuties!! Lol!

    So get a snake, so you will have to get rats. You have to conveniently forget to feed the rat to the snake.
