    Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.

    I don't like coming home to dead rats, but my reason is a little different. I hate the smell. I breed my rats for feeders, so why would I get upset if they die?

    No reason at all.

    Of course if you ever made the mistake of befriending one, you wouldn't have to ask that question.

    I feed hundreds a month but I still recall fondly the ones that were pets.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.

    I know exactly what you mean. My fiancee and I have never had one die on us but she has already told me when we start our colony that I am going to have to feed them to the snakes because she won't have the heart.

    Agreed, We had a pet rat for a short time and when he passed away it was really hard. My girlfriend and I both took it hard.

    Re: I hate coming home to dead rats.

    We lost our favorite male rat just a couple days ago. And yes, it was a heartbreaker. He was such a sweet boy, retired, and living the life of luxury. He was a Petco adoption and already advanced age. Even if they are "just breeders", they become pets. And rats can be so very loving. Especially the big old lazy boys! Rest in peace Trevor and Wylie!
