i just called my husband to talk to him and brought up the whole "we dont feed any rats" thing and he said it wasnt a rat! it was an african something rat.. is that those soft furred rats? the ones that are just a tad bit bigger than mice but isnt that a different species than real (as in my pet) rats? he said he knew we didnt feed rats and because i didnt see it i guess i assumed hes a jerk and got a regular rat (boy do i feel like a jerk now) he just told me it got her and i should post about it.. i checked her this morning and not only is there no signs she even ate (shes 400g and i know even a small rat would leave a lump) but theres no sign she was even bitten

Thank God! I was really upset over this whole thing.. now how much of a pain is it going to be to get her off this different kind of food? can they get my pet rats sick also? why do some people use them over other types of food? guess i need to get over to the feeder section, i really dont know anything about them.
