Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

They really look nice Bill! It's going to be really hard to use them as feeders. Did you get any suggestions as far as feeding goes? Just our regular rodent feeding scheme?
Regards.

Oh wow! I didn't know they were so cute! Look at those ears!
Is the texture different that the rats we are used to here? Is soft furred actually soft?
I love cute food!
I must have some of those after our move!

Pretty much a majority of lab block with the occasinal treats of a seed mixture. He said it was important for these guys to have something to chew. They constantly chew and he used small chunks of untreated pine 2 x 4's. I noticed that the small pieces I put in with them are already being chewed on.

Just got them yesterday and haven't tried any cuddling. LOL. But these are known for being biters. They look innocent, so I'm sure they're little devils.

What is the advantage of these over lab type rodents? Do they get bigger, grow faster or have more babies?
Thanks
