I need Help!!

[Rainbow-Serpent]

Okay, no smart-allec comments about the title (especially you ryan).

So basically, heres the story:

It all started when Kate brought in her rats, Chino and Splodge.
She let me hold them and I absolutely fell in love.
Then I went to my Mums friends house to hold their rats, once again, amazing.

Then today I went to Petcity, got a couple of rats, however, they look exactly like Splodge, feeding my snakes is getting harder and harder for me because I love rats alot. What should I do!!??


Cheers,
-Jordo

[ivonavich]

Now repeat after me - Rats is food not friends....

 

[diprotodon]

Buy rodents pre killed and frozen and then keep some rats as pets

 

[Just_Joshin]

Buy frozen ones.....they don't look cute!

 

[Dipcdame]

buy rodents pre killed and frozen and then keep some rats as pets

agreed

 

[Dipcdame]

Buy frozen ones.....they don't look cute!

ABSOLUTELY AGREED! Hope you don't feed live??????

 

[ryanharvey1993]

gee thanks for the special mention if you ment me, as said, buy frozen, they are ugly looking, or maybe toughen up girls are ment to think rats are gross

 

[bredli-sli]

sell your snakes then? every things gotta eeat daarling its nature

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]

I do buy frozen ones, and this afternoon and there was a tear in my eye :O
I'm not allowed any pet ones, (too many animals, reptiles don't count).

Ivonavich: I can't do it!!

Yes Ryan, I meant you, you're a serial smartallec.

I would never feed live, I know the consequences of it and I just don't have it in me.

I understand everythings gotta eat, but for some reason I'm only just being able to handle feeding dead rats to my snakes. I'd never sell the snakes, I love them waaaay too much, which is why I'm asking for help.

Yeah Ryan, well, girls aren't meant to like snakes either, but I guess we can't all be perfectly normal.

feed cute little baby bunnies to your snakes instead ones like this

actually the first one in the top link is so cute i don't think i could feed that one, until it got older and lost its cutelittleness

I got 3 rats as breeders for my snake food..... (Got CO2 ready to go)...... But you know I won't be able to do the deed when it comes to euthing the babies. The rats are pets, but I won't get attached to their babies and I'll get hubby to euth them, I'm way to sooky to do it and he's already been told that I don't want to be there when he does it either lol

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]

My snakes are too small to eat bunnies unfortunately, and chickens (perhaps the big one could take one down, but it would be a massive meal for him).

 

[ryanharvey1993]

gee that rabbit is cute as, I love rabbits, but still have shot like 16 of them including cuter babys then that :lol: and thanks, I am proud of being a "serial smart alec" feels great been told of by someone younger then me

 

[bredli-sli]

also, if you feed to many chickens they gett hooked on them, being natural bird eaters.......

 

[webcol]

dress the rats like hitler. then you will kill them

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]

Why would I dress a rat as hitler? :?

 

[wranga]

there only rats. your snakes need to eat. if your having trouble feeding them then you need to think if keeping snakes is really for you
