I was never bitten by a rat, but those darn hamsters caused me to bleed so many times (probably as I was bit once, and they sensed the fear, but also that whole nocturnal sleep pattern). |
I have a scar from getting bit by a hamster!! ): |

| I had rats! I think I've had every critter under the sun aside from Gpigs. Rats are super fun and smart! |

Probably as we, owned by feathered are becoming deaf with time and don't hear that our birds are loud. When someone else come to your apt/home and ask: How you can stand that noise?, you simply answer: What noise?
If I could have all pets I want, I would probably have all excluding snakes. Rats will be on list too. |

| Jeanne at the rescue has a hairless rat. It has one red eye and one black eye, so she named it Checkers, LOL _________________ It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds. ~Aesop
