Hello everybody. I just bought two Rats. The females name is HoneyPuff, and she is all white with light tan blotches, and red eyes. The males name is Ash, and he is black and white. They are SO beautiful!! I love having them. I meant to get two females but got a male instead so the babies will go to my Corn Snake Jakers! I am happy about that! The male is having sneezing fits though. 
HoneyPuffs sneezes and I know they can have allergies, but he sneezes a LOT. I am not sure if I should be worried. My Fiancee says hes sick, and hes the one I picked out. He has the cutest personality to! He likes to cuddle. HoneyPuffs also protects him and that is so cute! 
Seeing as how theres no biting involved! The male was also bleeding today. About a quarters size worth. We held him tonite wether he liked it or not to check him out, but he was really good for us. We think it is a scratch on his tail which is good to me! I'd much rather it be that. I wonder if its from the stupid Pet Store lady that picked them up by there tail!!?
We have a couple from work that has two females and they pretty much talked us into them. They are coming over tommorrow to give them an expert physical! Better then I could do, these are my firsts! I am glad to have the help, now if I could just find somebody who knows Snakes, and Geckos I would be great!! It didn't take much pushing though once I did the research and found out they can eat a lot of things from your house because I don't have a car and worry sometimes about getting to the Pet Store. Our friends are pretty great though and we haven't had that problem yet, but being able to feed them bread, lettuce, bananas and stuff helped a lot! I have a question though.
Can we feed them tomatoes. I wouldn't want to feed anything to acidic, but I don't know the levels in tomatoes. Their really good for us is all I know. Also does anybody know what to feed them if you are using the babies as feeders for Snakes. Just wondering, kinda like gutloading for my Gecko. Thank You!
