A couple weeks ago, I needed to pick up a few really small rat pinks (all mine were too big) and as I am in the back of the pet store digging under ticked off mothers I notice a large rat sitting in a cage all by himself. I look again and sure enough he is a tan hooded rex...stick my hand in and he is super friendly. I ask why he is back here and am told they thought he was so cute they didn't want to sell him as a feeder (that is all this store sells rats for)...so of course I scoop him up (have been looking for some new blood and a rex to boot).

So here is Rex (after a nice bath)


And he new Harem
