I love this thing more than any human. She follows me around the house all day and sleeps with me. Best $12 I've ever spent. What's your excuse for not having a best lil buddy to love /r9k/?
>tfw no bf who will love rodents more than he'll ever love you
>>38289494
>tfw want to purchase mice to have a mouse genocide because nobody cares if and how they die gruesomely
>>38289494
Rats are inteligent pets.
Normalfags will think you're gross
>>38289494
I want you to squeeze that rat as hard as you can.
>>38289494
because i have a dog who would kill it and id be traumatized at the loss of an animal i was tasked with protecting due to my foolish desires
>>38289494
Sounds good but I think mice are ugly. If only there were another small cute mammal that aren't rodents.
>>38289494
because they die too quick ;__;
>>38289494
They only live for three years and I can't deal with that.
I don't think you should sleep with a rat. You could roll over and maim/kill her easily. It just doesn't seem safe given the enormous size differential.
>>38289494
how are you not concerned youll accidentally kill it? id be too stressed and paranoid to ever interact with it
Minsc and boo stand ready
>>38289494
nigger are you serious? Most of us cant take care of ourselves and you want give us more anxiety and responsibility???

Edgy
>>38289548
They are super smart and so aware of emotions.
>>38289588
Ferrets maybe? They seem fun despite stinking like raw shit.
>>38289494
I'd like to have one, but I can't find any stores near me that have them for sale.
>>38289603
Rats live five years. :) This is my second pair.
>>38289643
I was at first but she got good about not getting between my feet after I accidentally kicked her (she was fine)
>>38289934
Rats are super low maintenance. I let mine just run around my room. Just gotta make sure there's water in the bottle. She even cleans up food I drop.
>>38290104
I got mine at pets mart. Most places have them because people feed them to snakes. :(
What are your rats' names, anons?
I have seven rats
>Lumpy
>Meatball
>Noodle
>Stinky
>Blindo (she is blind)
>Munchy
>Nougat
But i do look at him. Isnt he the best? I make sure the water idms always good and his eating healthy. Hes getting to a stage that a 60 gallon tank isnt enough. Its why i took all the decorations out because he needs the space. Probably going to get a 120 tank for him in the future. Hes 7 ninches right now

Cute ratto
filthy vermin hoarder
death is the only option for both you and your critter
I want a ferret! I would name him Papa John! When I go to college I will take him with me and get him certified as a therapy animal! I will keep him in the bathtub!
>>38290178
whats his name anon? what kind of animal is he?
>>38290108
this is nice anon. i hope you and your rat live well.
>>38290043
I'm not being edgy I actually have these thoughts
>>38290158
Wow 7?! That's wild. The one in OP is Rogue and this one is Domino. Named after the X-men characters.
>>38290178
Cool fish anon. What kind is it? How big does it get?
>>38290213
Thanks anon
>>38290402

Tiger Oscar (albino)
>>38290466
wait is the name tiger oscar and the fish is albino or is the fish tiger oscar and the name is albino
>>38290385
Ferrets seem so fun, they're just a little too high maintenance for me because I'm basically incompetent. Make sure you do research before you buy one
>>38290549
I have done a lot of research, the biggest reason I haven't gotten one yet is cause they are expensive, and I live with my family at the moment and they don't want me to get one
>>38290489
Its an Albino Tiger Oscar. His name is Egg
>>38290591
what a good egg
>>38290435
They can grow to be 14 inches. Ive had Egg for two years now, got him when he was a little baby he was like half an inch. They can live up to 10 years If I remember correctly
>>38290132
I don't have any pet smarts near me. Towns too small.
>>38289494
Aww, how cute.
And the reason I refuse to get a pet is because of the idea of it dying one day. Like I fucking hate people, but animals are fairly comfy to be around. (Not so much with dogs, but the ones that don't bark at everything are fine with me)
its a shame they have such short lives, originali coment
>>38291451
My last two lived 5 years. I think it's enough without making a huge commitment. What are they doing to that rat?
>>38290591
Did you ever wonder why they're called oscars? I can't find any info about it anywhere.
The nearest I can guess is that it's a pet name that comes from their scientific name, A. ocellatus. But that's just a guess.
I really wish I knew how they got to be called oscars.

I live in Alberta, rats are b&
