Haha, I have the same issue... except somehow I ended up with six feeder rats that the pythons wouldn't eat and they're too big now. Dad wanted to buy them in bulk. I absolutely love rats, but guess what? I found out that I'm allergic to them! I am allergic to all fluffy things! Rats, cats, dogs, horses, rabbits... everything. Probably hamsters, mice and gerbils, too. *sigh* I really like two of them, too... a soft grey one and a nice looking spotted one... I want to keep them. I've always wanted rats, and I can't have them, apparently. Oh well. I have snakes.
