I kinda feel a bit weird having pet rats, when I have frozen ones in the freezer. :lol:

Good to know you can hold something over them if the misbehave. Just take them to the freezer and point saying, 'that will be you if you don't do as you are told!":lol::lol:

Hay does anyone no if you can breed rats with no tails? i no with some animals there is a gene were the animal is born without a tail can that happen to rats?

 

[Australis]

Yes and yes.

 

[steph]

Oh cool does anyone here have any? would love to see some pics of them

You can breed manx rats (rats without tails) but it is more difficult because the female's tail is used in the mating process. Manx rats aren't common in Australia, you'll have trouble getting them. They're pretty useless anyway, tails are very useful when dangling rats in front of snakes.

I have had pet rats. Best pair I've ever had I drove to Mosman to get them. Such sooky sweet pets, the only pair I ever had that I could allow free run and trust them not to go anywhere. Except they killed my mice while out one night

is that bubbles and squeek? or a different 1 ???

 

[xenathepython]

manx rats are really rare at the moment and they don't do the best in the heat becasue there tail is also used to lower the body temperture. but if anyone is breeding them let me know..lol
