She the rat girl is back here

[She]

I lost another wee friend last night. 1 AM in the morning I woke up and forgot to put my 3 old men back in the cage. It&nbsp;actually&nbsp;was a god send because poor Pinky had a stroke and he would have died alone and in pain. I had to go to the emergency vet and put him&nbsp;down. He loss all motor movement and his&nbsp;tongue&nbsp;was swollen.<div>Some how God does not want me to move unless they are in his care. Other wise I would be in a van already. 2 more little men to go. Pinky was a mush. The most cuddly sweet and yes&nbsp;clingy&nbsp;rat friend I ever had. And he loved to pull my glasses off and loved grapes but he also loved his brothers.&nbsp;</div><div>RIP my little Pinky.&nbsp;</div><div><img src="http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i406/tinyfeets/NewMartincage1stsetup001.jpg"></div>

Rats.....<br><br>Sorry for your loss.....<br><br>Was Pinky what is called a fancy rat?<br>

 

[She]

Thank you. I adopted him a year ago. He is a fancy rat. A hairless dumbo rat. Not for the brains but for the ears. They are on the side (like elephants)instead of up on top. Here is a better picture(not Pinky)<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><img src="http://64.19.142.12/www.ratzrealm.com/17e8772d0.jpg"></div></div>

I'm so sorry. What sweet little critters.

 

[She]

Thanks. Luke is all alone now...... spoiling him rotten!! Somehow photobucket did the right thing when I wasn't looking.

 

[twokniveskatie]

Yeah, I noticed that the pic looked okay on my phone.

Smooch Luke for me....spoil away! I think it is the one cruelty of the universe, the short lives of animals.....

 

[She]

LOL thanks. I will....about Luke.&nbsp;<img src="../images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />

She, you have pet rats! how cool,... hairless truly where not my favs as I always felt bad because they had no hair,... me, I like dumbo rex's, never found a tail less one to own. I currently have gerbils in my shop... want a gerbil? I have a loner baby born 3 weeks ago very cute, ??

 

[Guest]

I don't know...what do they taste like????&nbsp;&nbsp; Hahahaha, sorry autumn...just kidding around....My grandkids have gerbils and they make the weirdest whistling sound...

 

[Where~the~wind~blows]

LOL, BK...I guess like everything they would taste like chicken..... you'd need a heck of a lot of them to make a decent meal tough, &nbsp;BBQ gerbil anyone?

 

[Guest]

LOL...Whoops, I think what my grandies have are guinea pigs now that I think of it and they are eaten often in Peruvian Andes....FYI...lol.....I was too altitude sick to try it when I was there...<img src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /><br />Bri

My son went to Peru last year and was surprised to learn the place with cages of Guinea pigs was NOT a pet store.
