Sorry I didn't post any pics yesterday.


Today has been the worst day of my entire life! While getting ready for work this morning (both Dan and I) Dan left our bedroom door open.....it only took a second for my spycho rat to grab a hold of Dylans finger and bite all the way down to the bone! 5 stitches, an hour of bleeding and we are finally back from the ER and Dylan is knocked out from the Codein.


I knew I should have gotten rid of this rat, and the other three that came with her a long time ago. I am so stupid to have kept them here!


They are crazy and have never been held. Since the breeder breeds massively to supply Scamps, the babies are never socialized. I got these rats as breeders and they are crazy. The point was to tame them and find them new homes, but that didn't work out.


I know it's not that rats' fault that they are not social but I should have never taken them in. Dylans finger was mangled. The doe bit to the bone and our house is full of blood. I need to type all this to get it out. It was so horrible. They had to hold him down and put him in this cover thing so he couldn't move. When they stuck him with the needle to numb him I was crying so bad. He hates to be pinned down and he hated that more than his finger hurting.


So needless to say, I am home from work today! I am a wreck because now Dan wants all the rats gone. I have had some since babies, that I have bred and now he wants them gone. These four does in particular are gone for sure, back to their breeder and I damn well better get a refund! I am going to talk to Dan and see if I can keep my sweethearts. I have to, there is no way I can part with these guys. But my son comes first, and I do not want to risk this happening again. I am so pissed off at myself, and a little at Dan for leaving the door open as he knows these four does will bite through the bars.


I think I can persuade him to keep my sweet ratties, the ones I have raised, after the shock has worn off. I just never expected something like this to happen. It's very tramatic to have to watch your baby be held down while he gets stitched up.


I guess we learn from our mistakes and I have deffenately learnt from this one. I will never ever again have agressive rats in my house. I thought they could be tamed but I guess not.


Dylan has such character though. He was so cute this morning when we left the ER. He waved "bye-bye" with his big huge wrapped hand and it was so cute. Just makes your heart melt. Tomorrow we go to Dylans regular doctor and they rewrap it and check to see if he's going to need antibiotics. I sure hope not. This whole thing kinda makes me afraid of rats now.......

But anyways, the lady who has Cheetahs baby brought over a picture yesterday afternoon. Tailchaser, renamed Kaz is so huge! They got him a friend shortly after named Ozzy. It's so cool to see him all grown up. It's been almost two years. I will scan the pic later and post it so you all can see how cute he and his bro is.
