You never let them near each other.;p Lol

I started with 3 rat pups who were going to be raised and used as breeders.
My other breeder female had 2 litters; one of 3 (kept 2 girls) and a litter of 11 (kept 2 girls). Now I have 7 rats that are pets and I'm not breeding feeders anymore because I kept keeping them.
Here's 4 of them:

A friend of mine gave me a pet rat that's about 8 months old. She is completely hand tame and has not bit yet.

I couldn't see taking and animal that was raised as a pet with a great disposition, and feed it off. It just felt wrong. So she is staying as a pet rat for my son.

Now the other 200 rats... They can bite, and frequently try to escape. For those rats, they can be food.. All day.

I bought this medium rat as a larger meal for Vigil, because I believe she is a bit underweight from the weaned rats. This little girl was unexpectedly quiet on the ride back home, so it piqued my interest... I looked into the bag, she was just quiet and cute, reached in to pet her and she is calm as a calm rat can be...

I guess I have a pet rat now. I promise I won't do this again. Her name is LUCKY BREAK... short is Lucky. She would have been food a few hours ago, but her previously inevitable fate as a feeder rat has just changed forever.

Reading this thread has made it realllly hard for me to keep feeding Nagini lol. :D

The problem is though that rats were my thing with my ex. We had a pair named Templeton (mine) and Splinter (his). We subsequently broke up because he couldn't keep his hands off other rats. I don't think I'll be able to have a pet rat for awhile because of the association.

I also had this association, because one of my previously supposed good friend (who ended up being a complete ****) had a bunch of pet rats. I almost took pleasure in feeding F/T rats to my snakes because of this association.

Somehow, this little Lucky rat took to my tender side rather than make that association with the bad friend, in my head...
