Last night was the first time we tried to feed Lola
( i know we should let her settle in for a bit before we feed her)
We bought her on Saturday.
Originally I purchased a rat that was way to big for her, So I ended up having to buy a mouse for khan and using the weanling or super baby rat for Lola. Now I was stuck with this huge blonde rat! Our local pet store didnt have room for her so we ended up finally taking her to another pet store at 9pm right as they were about to close! Dan originally wanted to just kill it but there was no way I was going to stand for that ( i love all animals except horses and birds).

Feeding time rolls around at about 10pm and khan takes the white mouse no problem! He's a champ! Then its the weanling and Lolas turn. She goes right up to it and they sit face to face smelling each other. She shows little interest and after about 15 minutes we take Lola out and let her go back into her box.
Now once again I am stuck with a rat. Who by the way is the cutest thing I have ever seen. He is gary and has a split down the middle of his face: one half is white the other gray, perfectly centered! So I buy some gerbil food and some baby carrots and put some in the feeder tank for the little guy to eat. Dan is all about trying to feed Lola it again tonight.
Well this baby rat has grown on me. It's very small and every time I pick it up it falls asleep in my hand or in my shirt. It wobbles whe in walks too!
Today i went and picked it up a little house and water bottle and some greens to eat. I am attatched! I even named him Fernando! I wont let dan feed it to Lola so when he gets bigger I said I'll take him to the petstore to be adopted.

Has anyone else ever felt bad for a baby rat? I mean the adult I had no problem getting rid of... just not the cute lil baby!
