The cage is from Martin's Cages. If you want to get a rodent for a pet, rats are the best. They are the cleanest of all the rodents, most intelligent, very tame, and love attention.

* Seven levels
* Six ramps
* Four balconies

Do you like squirrels? I've raised orphan baby squirrels. They are so lovable. You learn more about rodent behavior when you interact with them as their surrogate mother than you see from their outdoor behavior. They are very affectionate and playful. Rats are just squirrels with bald tails. I've never had one but having raise other rodents I'm sure I would get no less attached to one than I did my squirrels or my rabbits or my guinea pigs or my mice. Maybe even more because rats are so smart and inquisitive.the whole thing just gives me the heebeejeebees
A pet is a pet. If you and your family love it and want to keep it well with your money, then more power to you!
It's a cute little thing, isn't it?
How do you keep your kitties from wanting him for dinner?
(The reason I ask is I had some pet mice in high school my sister gave me, came home from school and the cat had broken into the cage and no more little ones............ )
The cats are constantly trying to eat the rats and the dogs are constantly trying to eat the cats. (We even have one cat that attacks another cat, so we have to watch her closely.) It's a never-ending battle.
I don't have a recent picture of her, but she looks like this:
Her name is Maybe.
We bought her for $5 from a breeder. Recently, she contracted a severe respiratory disease. I thought she was going to die, so we took her to an emergency clinic.
Vet bill: $311
Medication: $55
She got better. All was well.
On Monday, she was acting like she was drunk. Back to the vet. She got better, but the vet didn't know why.
Vet bill: $167
Total (not including food, cage, Kelloggs Yogos, etc.): $538
(I can only imagine the upcoming posts. Perhaps I should've put this is the Flame Zone.)
