I'm new on here, and wondering if there are any other 'rat people' :D

I currently have eight; Ken, Ryu, Bruce, Daisy, Dotty, Reg, Maida and Nilda.

Will post pics if anyone is interested :)

    I have two, Poppy and Daisy. I dont know how u cope with eight, two are a handful! I love em to bits but having them out of their cage is taxing to say the least! They will not keep still for anything and need constant supervision. I have built a play pen for them so they can exercise safely without me there but they need contact with me as well.

    I used to have four little ratties; Mindy, Rosie, Molly and Luna but they've all gone to rattie heaven now :-(

    I used to let them run around my flat for hours and they used to get up to so much mischieve but I could never get angry at them.

    My Mum wasn't keen on ratties when I first got them but when she had to look after them when I went on holidays she fell in love with them and used to ring me every day to check how they were and to ask if they were missing 'Nanny'

    The Belgians eat rats as snacks I believe.

    Not the best thing to happen to an intellegent creature but grilled and served on a stick I'm told they are just like chicken.

    not a pet but we had 2 tree rats outside. They used to pinch the bird seen. They were huge. Last week one of them got run over right outside the house so dunno where the other one will go. They were light brown with white tummies.

    I have two topaz bucks, Ford and Zaphod. I got them from Alpha Centauri stud in Somerset a couple of years ago. Lovely sweet-natured boys, they are. :)
