Reader Cheryl raises rats..she sent me pics of boxes and boxes of rats. Uhhh, what do you do with all those rats? It's got to be a full time job keeping them all clean. Aren't the baby rats cute? BeeBee was just a little bigger than them when I got her. So, tell us, Cheryl, what are all the rats for?

There are like twenty critters in that box. I'm a little creeeped...food for reptiles?, medical research?, Pets? Pied Piper reenactment?,
Ahhhggg, no. They have to be pets, don't they??
OMIGAWD! The pictures giv me the willies!
I had to have my house sealed up a while ago. I got roof rats and one of them chewed my dishwasher hose and flooded the kitchen. So, while I'm not a fan of the critters, I'd rather not think of them as being food or for medical research.
Finger food, snacks, jalapeno wrapped rat, rat-ka-bob....mmmm. They are the perfect size and probably high in protein too.

Jarhead, a pre-halloween gross out. Heh.
Cheryl may be a, Rat Rancher" and she raises them to sell as pets. I know a gal who raises Hampsters and sells them to pet stores...
I like that idea better than rat-snacks...
Um... snake snacks?
lol, this is cheryl. i dont really raise them, at least i didnt intend on it. my son brought home 2 male rats & 2 female rats. well, they ended up making babies. they are about 3 months old now. you are seeing the different stages. the first mom who is slightly larger had 13 babies, 2 days later the smaller mom had 10 but one was dead at birth. we lost 3 due to over crowding about a month ago. we put the moms & babies in the big cage but as they got bigger, i guess nature took over & in a matter of a few hours, they killed & ate 3 of their siblings. now all the boys are together & all the girls are together. we got rid of 10 but still have about 11 to find homes for. i personally dont like the snake food cause i hate snakes. i couldnt let them go for that as i have handled these literally from birth. the pet store cant take them right now cause they dont have the room. they are all tame & love to lick your fingers when you put your hand in the cages. they enjoyed a banana a little while ago. it does look creepy but they are all very friendly. only 2 have official names, the little one on my back is the runt. he is the smallest & very sweet. of course i named him runt, lol. the one dad has a name, sparky. my son likes him & will keep him. those are the only 2 we are keeping. all the girls have to go for sure. at one time we had 3 cages of rats. they can be destructive as they chew all the time cause their teeth grow all the time. they have to keep them worn down.
again, i understand snakes have to be fed, but i cant get past the poor little rats & mice having a horrific death like that. i cant imagine being bitten or squeezed to death so i cant put an animal through that. i pray that they all find homes though, believe me.
I wanted to get Sherlock (My male rat) a friend, but I was advised not to since he is almost 2 now and has always been by himself.
Sherlock likes visiting Bee. We have to get them all together now that Logan has one too. Tee hee.
Cheryl, try a free ad in the paper. I'll bet you'll get some takers.
I can't imagine them killing each other. Bee loves all other animals. She's just so sweet.

You are simply irresponsible.
Male plus female = BABIES!
DUH!
Don't we have enough unloved, homeless rats in the world?
Stupid.
Love, a Rat Lover, myself..
HEY DINGDONG 'ANONYMOUS'
IF YOU ACTUALLY READ WHAT I WROTE, MY 19 YEAR OLD SON BROUGHT THESE HOME, I NEVER WENT & GOT THEM NOR DID I WANT THEM. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO SUFFER WITH HIS STUPID ACTIONS.
DONT JUDGE WHAT YOU DONT KNOW OR ARENT SMART ENOUGH TO READ. I KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT HAPPENS WITH BOY & GIRL ANIMALS, THAT IS WHY ALL MY DOGS & CATS ARE FIXED! THESE WERE SEPERATE & MY SON PUT THEM BACK INTO THE SAME CAGE CAUSE HE DIDNT LIKE THAT THE 2 DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM IN THE SMALLER CAGE. THEY WERE ALSO IN HIS ROOM IN THE BEGINNING & I DIDNT GO UPSTAIRS TO CHECK ON THEM CAUSE THEY WERENT MY RESPONSIBILITY.
KIDS DO STUPID SHIT, GET SOME, YOU WILL FIND OUT. YOU STUPID FUCK HEAD, DUH!!
