    Feeder to Pet! :P

    I bought a rat 2 weeks ago for Zeke and he wouldn't eat it. So....I put it in a critter keeper to "hold" until his next feed day. " Well....I have come to just love the little girl, she is just so sweet and personable and very talkative. So tonight we went and bought another rat to feed to Zeke! LOL Looks like we have another pet. Going tomorrow to get her an awesome set up. Heading now to read the post of Beckys rat mix. The pic is not good but here is Snow

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    Why would you keep it alive if Zeke hasn't eaten it?

    I say break its neck and dump it in the freezer!

    Awww Snow got promoted! LOL We do a lot of promotions from feeder to breeder/pet around here too. Becky's mix is great! You can also feed all sorts of kitchen scraps to your rat (just don't let it get fat, obese rats are horribly unhealthy poor things). Here's a great link with good foods and foods that are not so good for rats. I find it a very handy quick reference.

    That is just out of line.

    She just said she fell in love with the little critter and is now promoting it to a pet. Nothing wrong with that.

    I think you need to start buying feeders that have been pre-killed. Keep it up, and you'll be running a rat farm soon!

    Not very nice. Some people on here don't seem to have much compassion or respect for other peoples choices!
