jim hawkins Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I had plenty of pet mice when I had my monitor lizard, but only for very short amounts of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Blydes Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I had plenty of pet mice when I had my monitor lizard, but only for very short amounts of time. I'd use puppies.... but short hair ones. More meat on the bones. William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE! Adventures on the High Seas (refitted and back on station!)

Capt Grey Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Me niece has had several. She takes such good care of them that two of them lived to be four years old (average life span is 2-3 years). I like pet rats. They be smart and friendly. But me first mate has banned rats and snakes as pets. The snakes I can understand since he and me oldest cabin boy be afeared o'them. But I supposed with 3 cats it be not wise to have such "fast food" available in the house. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Red Dog Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 not right now, but I had one named Spanky back in 1992 through 1996. I bought him as a pinky to feed my python, but he (the python) just wouldn't eat this particular rat. I walked around with him in my hand and fed him from an eyedropper. We found out he was a Norwegian Blue Wharf Rat and he grew to about 10 inches without the tail and just ran around the house like a dog. When he passed on, our whole house was crying. I hope to have another someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barber-surgeon Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, I happen to have, raise and bring to faire some of my ratty boys. Capt. MacLeod and Jamaica Rose of NQG fame have entertained young and old with a few boys I'd given them. I plan on bringing 'The Three Muskatoons' to Tall Ships. They being Granville, Shadow and Lightening. When hungry, they do so help with 'disposal' of left-over bits from surgery. Cheers "Don't worry, it's not My Blood!"

I was amazed at the shreik of a squeek it made! cat jest played wit it till I could intervien and now all three are roaming free in a canyon just yonder from here.

Rumba Rue Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 yup, cats just like to play with them 'moving toys' until they are dead, then they eat them...sometimes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Grey Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 yup, cats just like to play with them 'moving toys' until they are dead, then they eat them...sometimes.... You forgot the part where they throw up the remains on the front porch (or living room). Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Patrick Hand Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I use-to have a pet rat, but when she died, I didn't get another, because the house that I now live in came equippet with a cat.... well the cat stays outside, so I could get a rat again..... But rats are great pets.... and they are easy to take care of, If I had to go someplace for the weekend, all I had to do was make sure she had plenty of food and water.... and she would still be alive when I got home......

Rumba Rue Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Over the weekend at the Tall Ships Festival, Michael Lampe (Chritine's husband) had made a pirate hat for one of his rats. It was darling! I wish I had brought my camera...I'm sure he'll have the pet at Ojai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
