Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
Sorry Bruce
Luckily we have not lost any rats yet...but we lost a soft fur a week ago, a biter.
At least his line will live on, I am sure his daughters will be great rats, too.

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
Sorry Bruce. No telling what he got into during all that time on the run. At least he is survived by his daughters...

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
Many long times ago I had a rat named Phfft. He was a free range rat, having run of the house. He'd eat out of the cat food bowl with the cats, trade sniffs with the dogs, come when you called him, sometimes, or tapped on the floor three times. He spent a goodly amount of time under the sofa in the living room.
He fathered many a baby and, as you can see, is fondly remembered even now, years after he bit the big one.
Sorry for your loss.

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
I think I'd cried more over the loss of some of my pets along the way than I have over some of my lost family. You've got a good heart, Bruce. Have you got any pictures of the big guy you can share?

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
That's really sad, Bruce. People ask how I can feed such cute creatures to my snakes, and I tell them it breaks my heart every time. They are wonderful animals, and it's clear you take a lot of care with yours.

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It was never easy when I lost one of my ratties, each one held a special memory.
I had an escapee as well, she lived (loose) in the snake room for almost three years. She'd run up to me and nibble my feet, and try to get me to chase her around. She'd dart around me until I payed attention and played with her. I'd put her back in the cage (daily), but she'd escape before I left the room. It never seemed worth it to really make an effort. She was potty trained, didn't chew on cords, so it didn't make a difference.
Anyway, so sorry for your loss.

Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.
Are you people serious? I could never get upset over a rat. Not even a little bit.
Now if my dog died...

You've never had a pet rat, they are like little dogs with a smooth tail.
Bruce, I am so sorry to hear you lost this guy. I love my girls and boys and am heart broken whenever I lose one.
BIG HUGS
