Well, as you can tell from my signature I've added significantly to my rat collection. We went to pick up our second female and my rat breeder (also my snake breeder, coincidentally) had three young rats for us to pick through.
They all came home with us and one of them ("Oops") turned out to be male. I just paid a stupid amount of money to have him neutered because I've reached my max level on rodents. I realize I could have traded him back in but he's our nicest rat and we're all rather attached, especially my older son and since that's the child who's NOT into snakes, I figure it's smart to keep his favorite new beastie around.
If you're able, please let me know of any rat groups on Facebook. They're cute little suckers and since we now appear to be free from rat babies (thank goodness) I can continue to fling my bp's their food with a relatively clear conscience.
