I have a confession to make.
I currently have 15 rats (as most of you will know) and I've been VERY good recently regarding buying new rats - as my resources are stretched enough as it is!
Well, ahem, as I've been stressed to the moon and back with my poor Katie recently I decided to go to the pet-shop to pick up some treats for the rats (yes, I don't treat myself - the retail therapy is for the rats only) and I was talking to a guy in there about two gorgeous rex's that one of the pet shop workers has reserved.
THEN he has to go say that they had an accidental litter a month ago which are in a back room...
Not only that but...
They are rex's...
And some of them are dumbos.
They'll be ready to take home in two weeks, and they'll have been quarantined before hand (this pet shop is good with QT - all of the pet centre workers are rat breeders)
Gah! I'm going back this weekend to speak to the girl we know well down there, who will show me the babies and maybe (which means I will) reserve one. But my name's on the short list, meaning I would get the original pick of them before they get put up for general sale.
doh!
Smack my wrists
Does anyone else seem to have this complete lack of self control when it comes to our beloved furballs?
