The lucky 3

Well, today the kids and I went to get feeders like we do every week for feeding day. We picked up 8 mice and 5 rats. We got home and fed off all the mice to the smaller guys and as I went to get the rats, I noticed my son hovering over the rat box. I cut it open and weighed and fed off the 2 all whit ones but as I went to get the others to feed off my son started screaming and crying. He said those were cute and didn't want them to be fed to the snakes. The only snake that hadn't eaten is the mojave so I asked if I could feed the snake the all black one and he said "no, thats my favorite." He also said that about both of the others. I was considering keeping the other two anyways to start a colony but I had every intention of feeding off the all black one. So nedless to say, the mojave is still hungry, we will be making another trip to the store tomorrow for another all white one and we now have 3 new furry friends to add to our collection! He even named the all black one Lucky. He's only 5 btw and usually has absolutly no problem feeding off the rats because he usually doesn't like them!

Here are the lucky 3: (They are actually starting to grow on me!)

Here is pepper:


Teddy:


And of course "Lucky":



Please excuse the newspapers all over, we were cleaning cages and whatnot.

I know that feeling my youngest son did that to me a few weeks ago and also last week. He now has a big rat house with two rats in it. He said he wants them to make babies. He plays with them everyday.

Even my daughter who screams every time I bring a rat home touched them and was petting them. I just hope he doesn't get attached to EVERY rat we bring home for food! He didn't like the all white ones and had no problem letting them become snake food!

AWWWW how sweet. I have no kids but my lil 4 yo nephew did that to me when he stayed the night with me one night.

Cute, lol. My daughter saved one feeder that's now a pet too. She knows we can't keep them all, that the snakes have to eat too. She even helps with the feedings.
