@Loverats when are you getting your rats? Just out of curiousity

@Loverats when are you getting your rats? Just out of curiousity

Well, my parents said that I will have to wait for when one of the gang dies (my hamster most probably ) but I was getting close to getting my parents to let me get two boys from the current litter that are now around 9-10 days old, but all the boys are reserved! And there is only girls left. So I reckon it might be fairly soon, but I don't want my hammy to die, he so soft but he has bald patches and they are not causing him any pain, they are irritated, they aren't sore they are just where he is getting old. it's kind of annoying because people know I am addicted to rats, so they say, you secretly want your hamster to die. That was a horrible thing to say to me, but they just don't care, they think that I WANT my hamster to die, which is absolutely stupid, if I wanted him to die, I wouldn't be buying him toys and feeding him and changing his water out every day, admittedly I want rats so badly, but not so badly that I want to kill of my hamster .

I don't mind you asking, it probably seems like I'm never going to get rats, but when I do get them, I'll post some pictures and update you etc

Yeah that's so sad about your hamster. I've always wanted one but they are banned in Australia. Don't worry my parents said I couldn't get my rats till I got rid of my rabbit. I was trying to give her away to people but then she died the next morning anyway and that is how I got my rats. Yeah that was random definitely post pics I love pics of little rats since mine are now big old fatty boys. Why do you want to get boys?

Well, I am a girl and I was going to get some little girls but after reading loads or stories about tumours and cancers in female rats, I don't want to have to deal with that kind of thing because they are my first rats, and also, hamsters are extremely fast and love running around and I just wanted a break from that and have something that will happily cuddle up with you. And I know males can get hormonal aggression but to be honest with you, I'm totally prepared to get them neutered if I have to (I have a pair of amazing vets who are located literally minutes from my house, it's so near I could probably walk there) but anyway, I struggled to answer that question to be honest, because I kept thinking 'well, I love both genders...' And that's the best answer I could give you. My cousin has 22 rats and all her males are lovely, apart from the ones who, to be honest I don't blame for biting and not coming out willingly to you, after where my cousin rescued them from... And every weekend i go round to my cousins house to see all her ratties, and her two big old boys Yogi and Booboo love cuddles and I know this may sound stupid but every time you look at them, you can see so much trust, and I know I will never love an animal as much as I love rats, it's stupid because I don't even have ratties, but I go round my cousins and care for them etc and they are such trusting and caring animals...

I'm sorry about your rabbit my hamster came out and sat on my shoulder earlier and he started breathing heavily, I don't think there is much longer left vets tomorrow, he's booked and I'm preparing myself for the worst, all my friends keep saying its just a hamster, but I NEVER see any animal like that, even evil ones who bite.

And I've never heard of hamsters being banned! At least rats aren't haha, and don't worry there definitely be pictures, I will PM you if you want and tell you I have posted incase you don't see it good luck with your ratties
