Oh! And I stopped by Petsmart yesterday to get some aspen and see if they had any dumbo rats, as I've been keeping an eye out for some for Deborah, since she hasn't seen any near her. They didn't have any, but I happened to ask them about when they'd have some, and they said that they had a dumbo female in the back.

I asked why she was in the back, and they said because she bit an employee who was cleaning her enclosure and they couldn't sell a biter. I asked them what they planned to do with her, and they said they couldn't sell her, but could adopt her to someone willing to work with her.

I asked to see her and held her, and while very timid, she didn't attempt to bite me. I told them I'd love to adopt her from them and work with her. We had some handling time last night and she's starting to come to the front of her enclosure to greet me. She squeeks a lot when I hold her, but she's not showed any aggression.

She'll be joining Deborah in a few weeks to become a breeder for her, along with a 1.1 het pair of dumbos from my dumbo rat, Wisdom. So, she's kind of a Christmas present for Deborah! I've named her Jingles! LOL
