The BRODENTS! Rodent Enthusiast Thread!

[gamorasass]

A few hours ago I said goodbye to one of my rats, Remington. He went downhill suddenly last night and at the vet we discovered a tumor in his abdomen. We helped him pass. He went peacefully in my arms.

Two of my new mice! I went to pick up the second one (sweet little agouti buck, he’s litterally so friendly it’s insane!) and she brought my another buck and 5 does too lol

Top doe is possibly bred, the does not pictured are a bit too young to be in with bucks yet but I can’t wait!

@meerkat boi. that is so exciting! Do you know what type you want? And have you thought of names? Be sure to post a pic when you bring your new family member home! <3

Yep! I'm getting a Syrian hamster :3
I have a few names in mind, but honestly am not too sure. Here's my name ideas-

1. Narti
2. Axca
3. Riley/Reilly
4. Pidge
(Yes, 1, 2 and 4 are from Voltron)

i'm finally getting a robo! i have the bin cage prepared with 5 layers of bedding (any thicker & the wheel wouldn't fit) and i'm super excited!! i made some diy toys & tunnels but i'm going to hopefully buy some more toys when i get my hamster. unfortunately, i wasn't able to buy a travel cage, so the hamster will have to go home in the store carrier, but i'm getting one in the future!


i have some name ideas:
pippin
shmurby - don't ask, it's a long story haha
nugget
minnie

@meerkat boi. i love the name pidge !!! it makes me think of a very small animal, like a hamster! it's also downright adorable.

Hello people! I'm Howl, and I've got 4 guineas, 3 boys and 1 girl, 2 of the boys are twin brothers and have to live together because they (probably) have anxiety and cannot be separated too long or they get freaked out. Their fur is red-brown with white on their faces. They are rescues from the Humane Society, named Wilbur and Orville. They are American mixes, we think they are partly meat pigs due to their large size. Around 3-4 pounds each, I guarantee you they are bigger than some Chihuahuas XD Thistle, the female, is a grey agouti piebald American and lives alone. She's such a snuggle bug <3 Then we've got our Abyssinian boy, Joshua. He's a bit naughty, he bites you sometimes, though he's a bit better at not drawing blood now XD He's primarily a creamy brown-fawn color with patches of a golden-fawn color and black on the top of his head, as well as smaller bits of red-brown and white. He lives alone due to his territorial nature. Also, when he smells Thistle on you he squeaks like crazy and it's pretty funny XD
We had a little white female Dwarf hamster, she had a brown-grey stripe on her back and head. Her name was Silver Daisy, she died of unknown causes not very long ago. I never even got a chance to hold her before she died, I just found her dead. Oh gosh, I'm crying now....
But, we are getting a baby Teddy Bear Hamster soon! A person from church had a pregnant female and didn't know, until she gave birth of course. She said to go over to her house soon with our cage and pick out our little baby <3 We're going to hopefully get a female, and our planned name is Cherry Blossom. They are a couple weeks old, I think 3-4? I can't wait to see the babies and pick our new little friend <3

Congrats on the new hammy! Syrian hamsters are my favourite <3 It might interest you to know I've posted here before with a post of links for finding suitable cages and wheels for hamsters! Too many people keep them in cages that are too small, unfortunately.

I'm currently saving up for a tank for Bella! Despite being in an Alaska, she bites the bars :c But, besides that, I much prefer the look of tanks! I've currently got my eyes on a Living World Green Eco Habitat! Gonna take some saving, but I just started a new job with much better pay! Fingers crossed I can get it soon!

Bella just had apple for the first time!

I need name ideas for this little guy.
I'm a huge nerd and tried to find a Marvel name for him but couldn't find anything that really fit. I was thinking maybe something for the jungle book too.

@Gamora
Hm, he kind of looks like a Bucky to me. Or maybe Rocket, or Drax?

I took this picture of my boy, Victor, today. He and his adoptive brother have grown into the biggest rats I've ever owned. I've started buying them cat toys (like the tunnel in the back) because rodent and ferret toys honestly seem a bit too small. haha
