RATS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Image
Welcome to the rat thread. *Ahem* Maybe you didn't hear me correctly, I said The Rat Thread. Not The Rat & Mouse Thread, not The Rodent Thread, not even The Thread For Animals With Big Buck Teeth. I said, The Rat Thread. Many CS users own rats, and I feel they deserve more recognition. RATS! Yay. Rats are some of the most well evolved animals on the face on the earth, and if it weren't for humans and their abnormally large brains, I wouldn't be too surprised if our furry buck-toothed friends were ruling it instead.
(NOTE: I did a search for other Rat Only threads, didn't find any that were made after 2009, does that mean I'm ok?)

What am I doing here?

Well, basically we just chat about our small, furred, bucktooth companions. Not that hard, since they're always doing this odd stuff to surprise us! Of course, since you're here, you all CS rules still apply. STILL. Also, feel free to share pictures of your rats (try and keep your face outta the photo)! Have you ever noticed how much rats are like small itty bitty dogs? I did. Maybe you can share any tricks you taught and how you taught them. These are just example though. Anything rat-related is okay.

Yayyyy!

I have loved rats for a while and last night my hubby and I went to the pet store to kill time before our movie started...

Beautiful light grey female with a white belly.. I asked to hold her and when the employee picked her up he discovered she is either pregnant or just had babies.. I begged my hubby and well.. I couldnt leave her to be snake food sooooo We brought her home!! We think her name is Luna.. We cant decide.

He grumbled a little about wanting a lizard (uhhh hello $8 rat or $109 lizard that you really cant even hold!) but he has held her more than me!

omg i love ratties!! i currently have three girls myself - Lishka, Neah and Lone Ranger. uwu i might also be getting two males but i'm not sure.

@LissaJo -
aww, she sounds so cute ;u; but you should definitely consider getting another rat, as rats are extremely social and need company - she'll be much happier [not to mention that rats kept alone can develop depression and behavioral problems] and the more the merrier, right? haha
i'd also recommend keeping a close eye on her for health problems [namely urinary tract infections and respiratory problems as those are very common in rats, especially those that were bred and kept to be 'feeders' in pet stores and the like].

Thanks Van for the advice :-)

Ive been doing some research and it sounds like her nipples only would be showing if she is close to her third week.. And they definitely are. I dont want her to stress with a new rat right before she has babies, so maybe i will just keep a female or 2 out of her litter

Excellent plan :) She'll be sure to get along with one of her babies, so you won't have to introduce new rats into the enclosure. However, a rat without a companion requires 4 hours a day to keep it entertained, so try and play with her as much as possible! (Unless it'll stress her out!)

Pictures! Yay!

ABOVE is a picture of Pansy (Pans) just chillin' in her travel box. That's not her tail though, that's Mari's tail.

ABOVE is a picture where you can see all of Mari's face :)
