Temptation!

[Ironhead]

I also had a cat that was always peeing on my bed and pillow. I kept blamming it on the dog's until I actually caught the booger. She had a litter box and would use it, well she would use it until I would leave my room. Needless to say she is now an outside cat.

And on the kid's wanting to keep the mice that are suppose to be food, whenever I hear my youngest daughter say "Awww...that's a cute mouse" it is allways the first to become BP food.

Tuman would have been an outside cat a long time ago if we hadn't had her declawed as a kitten (She's 9 years old now).

First the cat . . . . then the 13 year old . . . then my boss(s)

My sis got a hampster once. It took alot to see it as a pet and not another food item. I told her if she got out of line her pet would become food.

In the end I did kill it, but accidently. I put the hampster in it's ball, and put the ball on top of a plate so it floated. Me and my friends were laughing so hard, it was real funny. Then the phone rang and we went and got it for a minute. So anyhoo, we hung up and went to get the hampster, it knocked the ball off the plate... So the ball slowly filled with water and sank. It happened real fast tho, the ball was just going under as we caught it. It musta breathed water or something in a panic.

Ken, breed the gerbils and feed em to the bp.

lol...sad...but funny.
i bred mice. i had like 4or five and changed the cage everyday. well im down to 2 females now cuz i got sick of the smell. they are both pregnant and lemme tell you.....males smell like 50000 times worse then females. i only have to clean their cages every few days. each female has her own. im thinking about keeping the females and just buying males. then leeting the males do their thing and feed them off.
i bred rats too. not too stinky at all. until you have 20 in one cage.
ken...feed the gerbils to the snake! muahahaha. jk...i say make a deal with the kids...breed the gerbils and the deal is you wont feed theirs off...but you get to keep the babies!

Lol. I've been thinking about breeding gerbils as feeders, but the kids' pets are both females, and since this isn't Mass. or Cali. they can't get married. I may get a breeding pair and start the "Cheap Feeder Gerbils Ranch".

peace.

Adult female mice generally don't tolerate a new male (you usually have to set up mice colonies when they are young just weaned). It's been years ago but I remember reading an article (National Geographic maybe) about mice and as I remember it the new males release a chemical in their urine to make all the females abort so that they can get rid of the old male's babies and re-breed the females sooner. Knowing this the adult females try to kill or castrate any new male.

Interesting....Then that may just explain the death of the last male I added a couple of week's ago. I noticed they were fighting him almost immidiately when he was added, and two day's later I found him half eaten. He must have been attacked by all of the females at once because he was much bigger than they were and he was pretty much mutilated.

No pet gerbils or such things in the house, but I'm guessing the chihuahua will start to get a bit worried when the snakes start getting closer to full grown....
