My mom was chief of the medical investigation dep. at the local University, and as to be expected most experiments were made on rats and mice. As a kid I loved going there and handle the mice. But one week there were some, next week some couldn't be handle because of procedures and next week some were gone. I guess that helped me detach and appreciate them for the time they last.
There I learned that pups must not me touched during the first couple weeks, if you impregnate your scent the mother would eat her pups.
No offence to those that keep these things as pets, but to me they are stinky destructive pests one step above cockroaches. I have absolutely no problem feeding them to my snakes. We have a big problem with rats in south florida, no matter how clean you are. My brother makes a nice living eradicating rodents from expensive properties down here. To me they will never be cute.

HAHA I was the same way until I had a Grey dumbo rex rat unexpectedly show up in my live feeder order. I could not bring myself to feed it off so I started breeding my own feeders and have fun with all the different genetics.
