The Rat Lovers Club! ~MODS PLEASE LOCK!

[Rabbitheart]

I've had a wild blue belly lizard end up in my room, no idea how, but it did. That wasn't the first time a wild rat ended up in one of our bedrooms, my brother had a rat in his cabinet, that one was also a catch an release via pot.

Oh wow...We never have anything from outside get into our house (I guess because we have cats running around the house) with the exception of spiders.

Well...my house is an incomplete house, it's a converted three car garage. My dad's parents are functioning alcoholics and tax evaders (they move every 4 years to avoid paying the taxes on the houses they live in). They promised my parents a complete house before they left, but they lied. They ditched before the house was ever finished. So I've lived in this dump of a house with a vast majority of the clothes in my closet belonging to other people. The wild critters coming in are a side effect of the incomplete state of my house. Believe me, you wouldn't want to live in it, if we move certain stuff that's been in a spot for a long period of time, we're bound to uncover a black widow or two... or ten. Rats aren't so bad in comparison to that nightmare. Recently, I think we solved our rat problem, none of them seem to be coming in anymore, which is a good thing.

Oh my...I would freak out if I found even one black widow in my house...personally, I'd rather deal with the rats. How long will you be in the house?

[Rabbitheart]

I've been in this house since after my brother and I were brought back from the hospital...so 16, almost 17 years. I'll remain in here until after I graduate high school and maybe get an apartment or dorm when I enter junior college.

Have you ever had a rat?:  2. A beige and a black Berkshire.

I have gerbils right now, but the ratties were just awesome snugglers! I miss them.

I've had gerbils and rats. I think rats are better pets over all (you can let them out and everything) but gerbils are just sooo cute! Plus, my gerbils are a little nippy. My gerbil boys had been abused before I adopted them from the humane society and then one of them (Zeus) died and the other (Apollo) was thrown into depression. What made it hardder for Apollo was that he and Zeus were littermates, and thus together since before they were born. Poor guy is still upset. He doesn't even like me petting or holding him anymore.

My gerbils are really sweet. They crawl right into my hands. I have 8 of them. LOL. 3 boys, 5 girls. Kakashi, Puck, and Pascal are the boys. Katara, Pi, Sakura, Tamari, and Halo (short for Halogen, I am a geek) are the girls. We let themout on the bed to run around and play with them. We are the all might sunflower seed dispensers, so we are alright by them. LOL,

Oh, well, like I said, my gerbils had been abused before I got them, so that's probably why they were nippy for me.

One day, though, when I get gerbils, I'm buying from a breeder.

Puck and Katara are the parents, and they are very tame. We raised the babies with plenty of cuddles, so they are just as sweet. The babies are heart meltingly cute, especially when they are first learning to walk. Baby rodents with their little squeaks are too adorable for words, anyway!
