Topic awaiting preservation: rats!!!

this is complete silliness, but i'm sharing it anyways....
tomorrow, i become the proud new parent of 2 baby pet rats!! both are male, one is grey and white and has straight hair and the other is brown and white with curly long hair. his whiskers are even curly! he's SO cute! they both are really!!!
i'm so excited! being a veterinary tech., i usually always have pets, but i had to leave my dog in australia when i moved back to the states. since i have a small apartment, i was looking for a small pet that didn't need alot of work.....so i decided on rats! it helped that the girl across the hall from me is giving them away!
i'm off to search the net for some cool names woohoo!!

Doc named his dogs Jpeg and Adobe.

Try some computer graphical term .

A few years back I got my wife a couple of really cool stuffed animals, I think they were ferrets. They were virtually identical but she could always tell them apart. She named them Tootsie and Pootsie

Rinswind! There's rats! Get over here!

well, my and my love got two... aeh, like small rabbits, last weekend... they're really cute, but a bit shy still... workin' on em... one's grey, one's white... we call em Snoopy and Woodstock...
so you're not the only one with new pet, Lacuna.
Only our's came from the animal shalter.

so long,

Tyberius Prime

Mr Prime: Come clean now - they are flying vampire rabbit things.

Lacuna: Call them Dave. I had a friend who called all his pets Dave - it kept things simple.

okok, but they only need to eat the blood of the living in years that contain three consecutive sixes in them...

well, you know they're going to have to have 'cheesey' names (ba dum bum) sorry couldn't help it!!!

insider: i do love that idea actually!!

tp: how sweet! rabbits make good pets!

emps: my son names all of his pets 'david'. i don't know why...but he does. 4 or 5 years ago we had a few cats and fish all named 'david'...and two other fish named 'jeff' and 'dustin'. lol

How about "Dot" & "Net" ?

Just remember, if you're going to take them on walks, they will probably need raingear and rubber boots. Then they should be ready for Ketchikan weather. (many fond memories!)

~Toying with some New model rat trap~

Where... oh i see. PET Rats??? You know they eat cables, sleepingbags, matrasses anything they can get there teeth in?
And anything they can't get there teeth in too....

Ok let's make a deal here. I let them stay in your cell for only 200 black pills. But if i see them out off the cell, anywhere they are mine. It's a long time since i had a good Rat in here...

"Freedom of speech is by no means freedom to insult others" from the Razorart goodbye letter.

I once 'rat-sat' a pair of 'male' brown rats for a friend one summer.
When she came to collect them a few weeks later, she took home the original pair AND 12 hand-reared (and soooo cute) pink babies!

they're here!!!

200 pills??? that's robbery!!!
how about 25 pills and you can take my next 2 turns in the basement with suho?! that sounds like a screamin' deal to me!!

Eh, you won't be getting off the hook that easily, Lacuna...

lol

ok 100 pils and another straight jacket would do..
that should be me last bid.

suho can i get one extra anyway?

Well, I suppose I might be able to fit you in for an extra session. Just try not to let the word get around...

I had 2 rats. They just recently died. I named my Andre for Andre Agassi since I'm a tennis player, and my sister named the other Einstein.

Teach them some tricks and try to get them out for an hour a day. That was my mistake. I just didn't have enough time.

Names....hmm.... Mjau and Whiskas?
I don't like rats. We have some really big
grey old one fot long rats outside in the barn.

no..no..i wasn't tryin to get out of anything suho!! i swear!!! *dang dang dang...i was found out!*

rinswind...ok...that sounds like a deal, but you're going to have to take the pills in installments! it's going to take me awhile to steal that many pills!

duck: i saw last night on the net that they could learn tricks...that's exciting! right i am just getting them used to me...which is going well. they're a hoot!

this is a change for me, having pet rats. i used to (about 7 years ago) have reptiles and would only have rats in the house for food (when we were out of bunnies and chickens)

When I was about 13 or so, my older sister and her friend rescued 2 rats from the pet store where they were being sold as snake food... They were cute, and little, and the pet store guy assured her they were both males...

About 6 months later, we had 14 rats, and ultimately, they ended up as snake food for the pythons at the science museum anyway!

Entertaining in the meantime though, I'll tell ya!

Bodhi - Cell 617

My brother had a couple rats a few years back... He named them Oreo and Whiteout, for obvious reasons if you saw them.
I would be watching TV and have the albino one sitting on my shoulder, and a Jack Russell Terrier in my lap, making sure she never lost site of the rat

You could always name them P/S2, and Intellipoint... Or something like that

Lacuna, think of them as small dogs, only far more intelligent (as a rule).
Pretty much anything you can teach a dog, a rat will learn much faster.

They make fantastic pets, if you put in the time.
