I love, love, love ratties! Haven't had any since my DH and I first got married about 13 years ago. Miss having them terribly - we actually were breeding them for a while when we were dating. My DH's favorite rat was a little thing and she used to lick his nose every time he held her. I'm an animal nut and am trying desperately to keep it in check so my DH doesn't think I've gone off the deep end! We finally own our own home (10 months now!) and sad to say I think he's getting a little grumbly... we've "rescued" a guinea pig (who is absolutely amazing and changed my entire perception of them - only fuzzy creature I didn't really like), one rabbit a couple months ago who is still having major fear issues, and another rabbit last night as a companion for the scary cat one. That is of course aside from the family dog and all the chickens in the yard!
Another sign of my "madness" is I could totally have some rats and mice, fish, and some reptiles/amphibians. I'd love to have a smaller (rosy boa or ball python) snake and some frogs (red eyed tree frogs to be specific). Am I insane or what?!
The sad part is, I know people look at all my critters and go "wow, you have 21 animals!" while to me I count the chickens as a flock so they're only "one" so I only have 5.
