I suppose our house growing up was a bit like the Clampetts on a much lower budget but we had all sorts of things like meeces, rats, gerbils,mice,lizards,snakes,guinea pigs, an owl, a rooster,budgies and of course the dog and cat to normalize things. The cat was oblivious to them all and the dog was a super nanny watching over them

Cute little pocket pets! When I was a kid I had two teddy bear hamsters, one right after the other, named Hamlet and Lucky. I also remember my grandmother having a budgie that she hated and would keep covered all the time so it wouldn't make noise. According to family legend, Gram also sprayed it with Raid on occasion.

Polluted Parakeet!

Boy...that was one mean granny!!!! I take it that the budgie was a *gift*, and something that she didn't buy.

J-

That's a rat? Can I consider it a cute little mousie?

If you are ever in the Big Apple, let's go into the subway, and I'll show you a rat!

In my book, rats are at least a foot long!

I dont know how much I could trust a granny that was a near killer rather than a nurturer..

Actually, she was a baby rat, so yeah, she was very small. Also, pet rats aren't as big as the NYC subway rats and alot more delicate.

Henry bought a new mate for Hermione, my current rat that I left with him. He's so smart, he figured out that when he drinks water from the dispenser (it's the rodent cage kind that they lick the little metal ball to make it work), he bangs it against the cage to let the air bubble go up, giving him a good flow of water. Yes, they are "mate"ing fine but no babies yet.
