I have a 3 year old rat right now. Can't believe he has made it this long and no cancer lumps at all! Rats are great pets and train really easily. Enjoy your new friend.

ya know... my daughter has been wanting a pet rat for some time now... I think im going to see if I can find the right one today :D
Thanks Irish.

 

[irishsmoker]

Thank you all for the suggestions! I decided on Elroy! @captainprochecy you can't go wrong! Of all the rats I've owned I've never been bit! Mine have all learned their names and would come when called!

Bahahaha... noted. :D
on a separate note... my local pet shop has some baby Dumbos that will be ready to come out next week, I have set aside the small cage, bedding and food. So I will pick everything up a day before Xmas then im going to wrap a book on rats and have my daughter open it on Xmas... so that when she opens it she'll be "WOW thanks dad a book on rats" :|

and I'll be like "oh wait it also comes with this" and bring out the cage :D
Man I really hope she loves it... because im using some TAD money that ive been saving up :P

TOO cute man, how about Ratatouille?

 

[simnettpratt]

He's pretty cute. Never had a rat myself, but we did have HUNDREDS of other pets growing up. The most dogs we ever had at one time was 27. That's too many. We had pet birds, cats, fish, gerbils, goats, cows, a fox and a bear. Just had to put down my mom's last two goats this week. Didn't enjoy it. The cat's going to be next.

 

[irishsmoker]

@captainprophecy she will be thrilled!!!!

 

[morton]

@ revs What did I do?
@ irishsmoker Nice pet! Never had one but I hear they can be very well trained and affectionate.

Pics of Elroy and Theo! Elroy's is mine the black one and Theo is the white one my fiancées!

 

[captainprophesy]

Ahaha... Irish those things are adorable :lol:

 

[cigrmaster]

Congrats on your new pets. As long as you love them and care for them, I think that any animal can make a great pet. Since you already named him I won't mention my favorite rat name....Mr Jingles. ooops.
Bradley had a great one in Ratso, if you have ever seen the movie, the name is so apres peu.

 

[maduroman]

should have called em Pinky and The Brain...

So cute! I have a couple that are 2yrs old and still going strong. They even sleep with my cats sometimes. I only give them bottled water and have never had any lumps. I also mix up their food with cereals and dried fruit and nut mixtures. They also love Doritos and cartoons. So cute! :lol:
