    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have been trying for ages to get my mice to have babies. In 7 months I have had ONE litter of 5. When I got my balls I decided to try rats. I have 5 females and one male. Female one ( a young gray hooded) had 9 healthy kittens. Female two (a older cinnimon one) had 10. My rex young female had 9 but all but one died (she didnt clean them and I was gone when they delivered) and that one I fostered to the hooded female. Finnaly rex two female had 11 kittens. Blue female had a horrible birth and had two kits get stuck half in and half out of her. I helped her deliver the stuck ones and she passed the rest but all where dead.

Three kittens have been lunch for corn, and gracy and elvis. It makes it a bit easier to have at least a start of my own food. I just wish I could get the balls to eat regular.

edit: It sure is nice not having to worry about paying $4 for a rat and 3 for a mouse. Elvis is much better if you give him a pinky then a lg fuzzy (he ate again two days ago). Gracie hasnt eaten in a while. I am a bit worried about her. I have tried mice and pinky and fuzzy rats :(
