does this annoy you, rat owners?

well someone told me rabbits are rodent's. thats why they have to ride with the cargo when they go on planes.

Well, they were unfortunately mistaken, rabbits are lagomorphs.

We also get the ewwwwwwwwwww factor from people when we tell them we have rats. In fact, if I had known getting them would keep my mother from coming over, I would have gotten them YEARS AGO!

I kinda love the reactions though. Like someone said, they don't know what they are missing.

OMG!!! I EXACTLY know how that feels...and the thing is here in Iceland is only one breeder of rats, cause we weren´t allowed to import rats before..so I got my ratties from that breeder..and when I told somebody I had pet rats they were like - eeeeeewww and so on..it´s because Icelanders havent had any experience with pet rats - we dont have them so many as maybe bunnies!I´ve met many many people that doesnt like rats! and now, after the breeder here in Iceland had one litter, Government banned again to import rats!!! and I know person who already bought ratties, trhey are in Netherlands, and now she cannot get them to Iceland, cause we cannot import rats!!!!I just have to hope that things WILL change, and we WILL be able to import rats again, cause I really wanted to import some as well!!! I just hate when people say those eeewww and things,and they havent even seen pet rat in their lifes!!!!argh..
