Anybody have pet rats? ... escapee

:eek:
 
Holy cow! Poor rat, it must have been not raised right or never been tamed. :eek:
Mines so sweet... Digger can be doo-doo head sometimes... another little story.. one time I stuck my nose in cage and digger thought my nose was food and tried to take it in the cage! OUCH! That stings! I got 2 tiny red dots on my nose :soda: Now I'm not going to be sticking my nose in cage with Digger that rat!
 
My mother had a rat 'TR" (the rat) for many years...Always so gentle..Even had sweaters for the thing...One thing mom did was condition TR to the sound of a bell...Right before she got fed she would ring a bell...TR learned to associate this sound with food...Anytime she escaped, she would ring the bell and TR would head for the cage....
 
I've never had rats. Their tales bother me. I have had hamsters, though and they were lots of fun. We had one that would get out of the cage all the time and go hide food under the T.V. One day both hamsters got out and disappeared forever.
 
Jinx...I have never liked rats, but I will say yours are cute!!


:OT: Blueiz25...I LOVE your avatar!! I have 2 of them....currently squabbling over who is going to stand next to dad's chair and get petted.
 
Lol, thanks for the comment nursie!

i had 2 pet rats b4 one male one female they were named snowball and fiesty they produced babies like crazy but they loved to take baths once a day i would fill up my bath tub and put them in for there swim once there first litter was big enough we put them in for a swim too then one morning i woke up and snowballs babies had eaten her brain ugh it was a mess needless to say we got rid of all of them i miss them i have a hampter now who is going on 3 yrs old and prolly wont live much longer when he dies i am planning on getting another rat going to stick with just one this time tho
 
You mean the babies ate snowball's brain? :eek: :eek: Yuck!! Thats nasty!
If you get other rats just get 2 rats of same gender. They'll be much happier that way. I have 2 females so no rugrats :joke:
