I love seeing the different relationships Wolfgang has with each of the 12 rats. Like, he and Dusky mess with eachother like brothers. He's very protective over baby Rin. And with Harmony, he will just lick her face for hours. He's very gentle and loving with Rufus. He knows that Chula and Indie will nip his nose, so he's careful. He can tell them all apart easily. It's truly amazing.

In real life I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 26 rats, 2 gerbils, 2 cockroaches, 1 turtle, 1 axolotl, and 8 fish.

I've been told that one of the reasons some people like large rat packs is because you get to see the entire pack dynamic (besides reproduction, of course) taking place, and it's supposedly pretty cool. I like watching wild rat packs for this reason!

Do they ever form giant rat piles?

Thanks!
*whispers you should totally get a pair of pigs...or several pairs XD*

Ronan and Maximus are two of the top contenders, though I'm still unsure. I have emotional attachments to so many of the names, makes it ten times more difficult XD

Haha, with you guys showing me pictures of your pigs I'm bound to end up with a pair eventually (not until after college, though XD).

Speaking of names, do guinea pigs learn their names, like rats do?
Reality is subjective.

Wolfgang is my dog :) And yeah, I have a group of 7 males and a group of 4 females and one male alone until he is neutered. They all have different relationships and best friends and such among their groups. They always lay in huge piles lol.

I made my monsters some homemade yogies today! Two types of baby food, some baby rice cereal and of course yogurt. Only Baze has got one so far, the others will get some later on. They still have a hour or so before they are fully frozen.

The brothers Lucifer and Jared are the proof of how backyard breeding is so bad for animals.
They were only 2 months when they passed away two weeks ago, before I start, I just wanted to say, no, I didn't buy them from a backyard breeder, I would never do that, but the parents came from a pet shop, the female was pregnant and I adopted them, I don't support backyard breeding.
They both died on the same day with a genetic tumor on their heads, I am so sad...

Thank you! Yours are very cute as well! I am thinking of starting to bring kiwi with me places: he is very good at balancing on my shoulder and he is very calm around other people!
