Hehe looks cool. When do we get the mpeg?
They are supposed to be the best rodent pet in terms of looking after them and what you get back. Much more active than those lazy bugger hamsters. Was tempted to get one a while back.

Bit of advice. Keep Bob single !
A flatmate of mine at one time thought it would be great to get a rat. Yes they are great pets but hard to tell the sex of ! Yup you guessed it he got another......... Some time passed...... He ended up with 37 !!!

you should be able to but rats/hamsters/guniea pigs/rabbits/tropical fish,etc,etc in a form where they self destruct after 2 weeks cause thats how long you own them before realising what a dumb idea it was!
Tiggs
ps- cats should self destruct the second you think of owning one!
dogs are cool but 3 years then bang might not be bad- very easy to get bored of a dog after 3 years.

As regards the swim invite - i think he'd say no thanks - hates baths anyway

LOL you lot
Trouser - do Eibach do slightly shorter legs for rats?
Markus - cos it can be left for a couple of dayz if necessary, its as friendly as a dog and cleaner than all the other rodents you can get - oh - and cos Milly wanted one really, since her last Rat died two years ago.

Rats rule! They're just like small dogs, so much more intelligent & interactive than any other small rodent.
A friend of mine thought his cat was invincible until it came back one night covered in bites & scratches. The vet checked it over and advised him that it had clearly come off second best to a pack of rats. Wild ones can grow a lot bigger than you might think!

is that like "more fun to be around than a cockroach"
To use a similie, that's like comparing an Impreza to a Maestro because they're both cars.
