Has there been a Rodent Contest?

If not, I would like to host one! I know there are so many adorable rodents here at PT, so why not have a contest?:)

Tell me what you think. Have we had this before?:)

I second that idea! Could guinea pigs and rabbits enter too? (They're not actually rodents) :D

In the dictionary, guinea pigs are considered rodents. :)

I have two rodents, I could enter them. I could even enter my RB guinea pig, Angus. :) (I looked at merriam webster's site and they defined a guinea pig as a rodent...)

the dictionary lists guinea pigs as rodents because that is what they were FORMERLY classified as, new research howver has prooved that guinea pigs are closer to lagmorphs then they are to rodents, obviously they are NOT lagomorphs lol but they are closer to then then to rodents :p ;) I am defiantly enering the contest! question is.. WHICH critters shal I use? lol

I still need to send in some more and take pics of some of the rats I don't have photos of yet. ;)

Desert Arabian
03-03-2004, 05:16 PM
Exactly how many photos can you submit!? There should be a limit to be fair to all contestants.

I myself have two entries, that's it.

Dogz
03-04-2004, 04:01 PM
That's a good idea, YLL.

I can't remember how many luckies sent in, but I think the limit should be 4. Sorry if one or more of your rodents have to be left out, but YLL had a good idea; we have to be fair!

cali
03-04-2004, 04:12 PM
ok, be expecting my entrys soon!

Well then let me resend some. I want to send in some that are better as I want to take new pics and all those are fairly old. 4 is fine with me. :)

Sure. You emailed them to me. I will just forward them back.

Sorry about not updating you about the contest. Yes, this contest is still going. I have accepted a few late entries, but I won't accept any after Wednesday. If you want to send entries in, just make sure they get to me by Wednesday!

Thanks! :)

I vote that guinea pigs and bunnies have a DIFFERENT contest...

(bunnies have more facial expressions and such than rodents)

No votes needed. :D They are already as one contest.

Personally, I think rats have more facial expressions. Especially if you can see their wrinkles.

Just from reading the other posts, I took it to mean that she was glad she didn't waste her time submitting bunnies and/or guinea pigs, but, I could be wrong! ;)

I really think she was just referring to the fact that dogz said that guinea pigs and rabbits weren't included in the contest.

Dogz
04-06-2004, 07:40 AM
P.S. Yes, include, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc.:)

I said that they were to be included in the contest.

:confused:

Oops, sorry, when she said she voted that rabbits and guinea pigs should be in a different contest, and, this is how you responded, I took it like they were already going to be in their own contest. SORRY! :( Now, I read her post about "glad I didn't submit" as a response to what you said about rats having more personality, now, she may think there's no chance of them winning because...aren't you the judge? Maybe she just thought after what you said that it was biased. Ugh, I don't know. I didn't want to be speaking for someone else. I just didn't think her comment was rude and I wanted to say something after the comment "what is that supposed to mean?"....anyway, I'm shutting up now. I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. :)

Dogz
04-06-2004, 10:04 PM
It's okay, guster girl! :) We all have misunderstandings.

So, let me make this clear.

This contest includes all rodents-- rabbits, hampsters, guinea pigs, rats, etc. All animals have a very good chance to win, because there isn't a judge. You get to vote.

And remember: Get your entries in my WEDNESDAY!

:D
