I really want a pair of rats… I tried convincing my mom but she said absolutely not. How on earth did you get your mom to let you get them?! @RodentCuddles
Well..it took 6 years.
When I was 7 I wanted Rats. I begged for 3 years. She got me two girl mice. Then my father got me 6 more girls from an owner who was looking for a new home for them. After that I had the 8 for around a year...I got a few habitrail mouses cage so I made them up ones connected together, worse thing ever. A wild male mouse got in with my 8 girls. Luckily only one girl got pregnant. She had 8 babies, but I didn't know she was preg until she gave birth to the first two and my other girls killed them. I then separated her from the other girls and she gave birth to 6 more. 3 boys and 3 girls. One boy and two girls escaped out of the cage, and one boy run away while I was holding him. The last boy was called Garfield as when he was born he was the biggest fella. Later on, I put him in a PetOne mouse cage and a male wild mouse got in as one morning I woke up and there was blood all in his cage, up my wall and on a small box containing a necklace my mother gave me. Garfield survived but lost half his tail. He then died from we think was a heart attack, he was over 2 years old and an amazing boy.
The last girl was too wild. I gave her 2 months to settled down. She didn't. She would bite me, run and attack me. She got PTS.
Here is a pic of my Garfield boy, He was an amazing, cuddly, people loving boy who was an amazing half wild boy:
After that we welcomed into our house any mice that needed a home. Mums fear and 'hate' of mice and rats (Most rodents) soon disappeared and was replaced with a love for them.
Last year, we got asked to take Boris in. So we did. Got him de-sexed and then adopted Honey Boo Boo and Tinker.
It all could of been so different if I wasn't so adamant that I wanted rats. My mum would still probably be against rodents and would of not grown to love them.
