h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm adopting 2 baby girl rats tomorrow their owner was giving them away on gumtree cos shes not got enoughtime for them wioth her new sproglet.

cant wait

nice whats the names

im gonna call them special patrol group and special tactics and rescue or spec n star for short

SPG? Quality.

Ive been intending to call some poor scrap spg for about 15 years S.T.A.R is from resident evil n all i could think of to match

Okayyeyeyyeyeie

never were a fan of the youngones no?

El Presidente!

I approached this thread with great fear & trepidation, thinking somebody might be cooing over unformed humanoids. Thank goodness it's something sensible like baby rats.

Congratulations Seraphina, do let us have photos ASAP & keep us informed what they get up to!

One of the few disadvantages of being owned by a is that sadly, i suspect rodent type pets would get rather a bad deal. I have been toying with the idea of a ferret though....

zdt

I'll stick some photos of SPG and STARS when we get them

never been keen on ferrets myself , always fancied a snake though

I just hope our hamster doesnt go mental at the rats, shes quite old n set in her ways

Won't get till thursday now as it turns out its a wee bit too far to get there n back before the school run..still big yay though

Can you give me the address? Or at least the postcode so I can make sure to come in from the right direction! e-mail it to my work if you want.

I've got two ikkul baby piggies. They're so sweet!!! (when I say piggies, they're guinnie pigs - it is first thing and I can't think).

Rats are sooo intelligent. Speak to VC when you see her on Saturday. She used to have some too.

I really can't bear rodents, childhood trauma of being bitten by a gerbil!

My friend has a hamster, who is very funny, a brilliant escape artist with a penchant for having his belly tickled!

Couldn't own one myself though.... *shudder*

A bunny rabbit is about as close to a rodent as I can manage!

Besides I love my cats too much, and they'd have a field day guarding anything that small in a cage!

I've sent you a txt with the addy

My parents were looking after my piggies a while ago when we were away on holiday.

During cold weather, they popped the piggies into the cat box to keep them warm (they're outside piggies).

The cats took great delight on sitting on top of the box, but didn't really care what was inside.

When I went to collect them, I took one of the piggies out of the box and popped her on the floor. Tammy, dad's cat, did a runner and wouldn't come back!

that must be e's hamster then cos you hate mine

Yep! She was telling me he was being really cut while getting his tummy scratched, then she noticed he was enjoying it a little too much!

And yes, your hamster is evil!
