You're probably right about it being worth it, but I hate losing pets. My Betta fish lasted three years, amazingly, and I was still sad when he died. :rolleyes: I've never had a pet rat (though I almost did last night when I bought my Pin a rat pup and fell in love :() but I garuntee I will in the next year, lol. If you happen to hear of any dwarf breeders in Nevada, let me know. Otherwise I'm eventually going to have to plan a trip to Washington. :oops:
