....pet rat

Lol well I got Clyde dinner last Friday, and, he refused to eat it. I felt bad for the rat being in a little box with no food or water, so, I bought him a little cage, food, hide, and water bottle so I could keep him comfortable until tomorrow (feeding day). But during the last week I have spent a lot of time with the little guy and have gotten attached to him lol. So tomorrow I will be buying a new rat for Clyde's dinner and Greg (my daughter insisted on naming him that) will get to spend the rest of his life as a happy pet rat ha has this ever happened to anyone else? I never thought of a rat as a potential cool pet, but Greg, is awesome!
