Well, this isn't a picture of one of my rats, I got it off of the internet. But it cracks me up everytime I see it. I'm hoping it'll make you feel a *tiny* bit better.
In some ways, baby rats are like human babies. With my first rat, it took us 30 minutes to teach her to go down a 1" step (we sat her on a book). Just like a human baby, she'd peer over the edge, stick a foot out, bring it back, repeat. Then she tried it and bumped her chin.
Rats will swim if you throw them in water (like human babies) but it doesn't mean that they'll do it for fun thereafter. So a little raft as a toy or floatation device makes perfect sense to me. For those of you who don't know, rats doggie paddle, and their tails swish left and right to help with propulsion.
I bought a baby pool,just for my rats,and ferrets to swim in,in the summer.My rats don't like water that much,but I have a kickboard and they will crawl onto that and float around in the water,and soak up some sun.It's cute
I have three ferrets.The first one is Yogi and she's a dark sable,then there's BooBoo and she's a mix between a sable and a siamese,and then RJ(Ranger Joe)is an albino male
Why were you wondering about the albino JimScott? *Niki*
My buddy, BigCarnivourKid, was messing with me. Way back when he helped me resizing it on his Photobucket account. My topic about Photobucket reminded him that this pic was still linked to his account. It was sort of a belated April Fools thing. So I said that I'll leave it that for awhile. See if anybody notices.
Remember the tropical fish wholesaler place I used to work for? Aside from fish, they have all manner of birds, amphibians, reptiles, and rodentus type critters. Among them were ferrets. They DID have an albino.
Yeah I was always weirded out by albino's cause of their red/pink eyes,but when I saw RJ I just fell inlove with him.He was(and still is)such a cutie pie!He's my main man
Aww thanks JimScott,I REALLY hope I get hired too.But I figure,even if I don't get the job,at least I got out there and tried(after 2 years of not working)so that's a big step for me
Hey niki, Adnedarn has ferrets too. You could probably find their pics on the forum if you did a search for "ferrets". I got my fingers crossed for ya! Good luck!
I'm sorry to hear about that Niki. Our rotweiler just passed away yesterday too......it was the saddest thing. He was such a wonderful dog, and so much like a human. He had such facial expressions. It's one thing when a pet is old and you are kind of expecting it, but he was only about 7 or so. He was on a walk with my mom, and he had a heart attack and died right away. It was a very sad day today burying him. But I know he's happy now. Pets bring such joy into our lives, but it's so hard to see them go.
