Condition was when I let my girlfriend start breeding rats was that only 2-3 MAX were ever going to be pets.....yeah I know, what was I thinking.  Now at least 1 or 2 babies pop out of every litter that are too cute to be snake food and end up as future breeders a.k.a. future pets!! Lately the babies of choice have been the dumbos that pop up in the litters, since this forum was empty I thought some pics were in order.   I know I'll end up having to build a cage for at least one from this litter.  |

These guys are so very cute - rats are absolutely the greatest rodents. I am quite allergic, so can no longer have them, but really enjoy seeing pics,

I must admit that the snake food is starting to grow on me a bit, lol. The first pic is actually one that is supposed to be my one and only pet rat.....he likes to hang out on shoulders and looks so stupid with those big ears sticking straight out to the side.

Cuties! I perfer mice, they don't smell as much, need as much room, and they don't bite hard!  We just decided to breed them and got 1.4 mice a few weeks ago and already have around 30 babies. |

I think mice are nasty little creatures, and they smell. My rats are clean, love to be held and don't smell or bite. I think I'm predjudiced.........I like my rats and dwarf hamsters better because I feel they are cleaner and they breed better. I do everything for them and they eat and eat and eat but the mice hardly breed for me.

If you still keep Rats as pets I would like to take a look at some pictures. I have only ever known as Rats being a bad thing or F/T snake food. Might be cool to see them in a different light.

I actually gave away all my rats just before moving back here from BC last month. I do plan on getting more to start up a breeding colony and of course one or two for pets again.
