I can put the mix at Pet Family... you can take from there hahahah.... if convienient for you lah.

I think coz older liao... so not that tame... Yah, got ways wan. Handle everyday, sure become tame... mine also like that. Now they recognize me.

Har? It is a real dog lah hahahahah

Hahaha... never tipu... my dog very like small animals wan hahahah.... she like to play with rats and sugar gliders and hamsters.

Faster!!!! Pet Family got new rats!!!!

Rats rats rats.... now got 5 hahaha... of course 1 small male is actually up for adoption lah. Anyway, I have been MIA kinda long lol.... but my rats have grown bigger but living outdoors now... pity them... no choice since the smell is bad lah. They eat about 35g of food each.... so I kinda need to feed a lot to 5 rats... summore 1st class diet LOL...

Tikusniaga... any nice coloured rats for adoption ah?

today I brought my 2 rats, Cheezels and Onion.... wah, damn funny... guys were the ones freaking out while the gurls came up and handled my rats while saying so cute. Cuddling them summore.... hahaha... what happen to guys lah?

My college, only things cannot bring are firearms, drugs, alcohol.... no rules for animals. People bring animals for assignments so this is why we are allowed to bring. As long not large dogs or dogs that cannot sit quietly in bags.

Keep quietly cannot meh? Heheheh...

Fleas? My rats got no flea. If your rats have, you can bath them with medicated cat shampoo that kills fleas... but first, your rats are not for snakes rite?

Bathin with shampoo would be the most economical for you loh. That's good that you care for the lab rats. A bottle of shampoo can cost you only Rm16 plus.... a bottle of Frontline is like RM30 plus... so better shampoo lah.... a bit more work but saves you cost.

PLease keep purchasing things thru PM.

Hhaha... flying mouse.... got like what kembara said lah... flying fox, flying squirrel, bats, flying fish, flying gecko... hmmm... anything more? I can't remember hahahah....

2 days ago my mouse gave birth to 11 babies hahahah... very nice new zealand cow colours... also got myself 3 more female mice yesterday.... new wives for my single male hahahah... straight away he got lovey dovey with them. My fancy rats still no pups or pregnancy yet... sigh...

Basic english loh.... 1 mouse, 2 mice, 3 mice, 4 mice.... we don't say 4 mouse or 4 mouses mah.... it is like 1 goose, 2 geese, 3 geese....

I just bought a rat care book... and I found something really really interesting...

It seems male rats can live peacefully together in a colony or male group provided the space is big and when there is only a single dominant male.... anyway... a colony can have many many young males and they are known as the "testers". Funny rite? All females are breeders in the colony, but the males cannot mate(only alpha can) so they become the colony's official food testers.

Let's say you place poisoned food... only 1 tester will eat it first while the whole colony waits in hiding.... after an hour or so, if the tester is alive then only the colony would venture out to eat.... if the tester dies then no rat would touch the food.

Young rats or weaned rats would only eat food that has been nibbled by adults. This is to make sure it doesn't kill them....

Weird rite? This is why rats have been surviving for such a long time. Damn smart animals hahhaha....

I bought the book at 2nd hand bookstore.... too bad no hamsters or rabbit books... got a few guinea pig books.... cheap also. Normally Rm20 to RM40 for those books... the shop selling like RM8 to RM15 only....

Go Ampang Point Pay Less bookstore... all 2nd hand and cheap.... I bought 2 rat books LOL.... but didn't realize same author... but different edition and very interesting to read.

Right now I plan to buy a 3 tier cage.... scared to DIY since the wire fencing in Malaysia is quite poisonouse for rats and rodents.... sigh, cage gonna cost RM250 I think... but it would be better for my rats I guess...

Hahah... that one maybe can say will only be seen in wild rats. The rats we keep already know that we are the source of food so they do not really care heheheh... makan means makan lah.

I just changed a new diet for my rats..... man, they eat better than me heheheh....

Muesli mix that got coconut, sunflower seeds, dried papaya, dried apples, dried banana, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, rolled oats and wheat sticks.... wah... so sedap... RM12.90 for 1kg heheheh err... I think it's 1kg....

Then they get habitrail mixed with Prestige and Harry Hamster... then got California natural dog kibbles...

Then they also get 500g of raw pasta...

Then about 400g of brown rice.

Wahh.... my rats will become fat in no time heheheh....

Such a good question hahahah....

Now I must get ready 2 other cages since.... 2 more females pregnant already... wahahahah....

Not very sure.... my rat book doesn't say anything about this.... it says normally female rats would share the responsibility of raising their young.... but my rat, Tamarin, she ah.... gave birth to 8... but i took 1 pinkie so now left 7... anyway, with 7, she wanted Cheezel's 12 pinkies.... then now she snatched Ginger's 12 pinkies also....

I just went out to get 2 large storage boxes... so Cheezel and Ginger are safe in their own box with their 12 pinkies...

Well... I'm now awaiting for my next rat, Onion to birth hahahah..... wow, gonna have so many rats soon....

Wuuu.... you didn't notice my post meh? Got so many babies just born hahahaha..... anything can PM me.

Hahah... what I wanna do with 40 young rats later? LOL....

Anyway... rats are more social.... They do act a bit like sugar gliders and rats got bigger brains so you can teach them some tricks like stand, come when you call their names and jump... Of course the smell of the rats pee is a bit smelly... ok, can say smellier than hamsters hahahah.... But it would be alright to keep their cage or tank outdoors provided the rats got good ventilation and a hidebox.

Gerbils.... well, they smell less, smaller than rats, less cleaning than rats and they got actie personalities heheheh....

A single rat can get lonely so 2 rats are great. Females smell less than males.
