Oh...I also forgot I have a husband too... LOL! That's like having a pet right? I'm glad some of you had better experiences with dwarf hamsters. The one I had was really cute. When I first got her, I trained her to jump into my hand when I put it in her cage. Later down the road though she started biting and I don't know why. I even handled her a lot. It was towards the end so possibly she was just getting old and tired and wanted to be left alone??? My husband never gave his attention so that could have been the reason he bit...because he wasn't use to being held.
We're cat people. We had 3 until recently but are down to a Himalayan/Burmese X who is completely psychotic & has a meltdown any time I leave the house. This cat doesn't just talk ~ he expects to be answered back! He will have a complete conversation if encouraged at all. My youngest would like him to be hers but as she is the only thing in the house he can dominate he takes full advantage till she runs screaming. Then he come to me for food, cuddles & grooming. Like I said...
we ladies wow, I don't know about having rats as pets I can't stand those kids of pets. We had dwarf hamster and they were to much like mice to me. LOL we any way we have two puppies a toy poodle that is 4 lbs but thinks he is 100 lbs. a collie mix that is 85 pounds who is the puss of the family and two hermit crabs (which I think are gross too.)

Right now we have 2 cockatiels,a pug,a chihuhua, and a boxer. I once had a white rat for a pet but it didn't last long because mom made me get rid of it. I got it from school and didn't ask before I brought it home. We've had a TON of dogs. Lizzards, Wooly worms, and lady bugs anything the kids find in the yard. LOL! We had a HUGE Macaw parrot that I got before he was weaned. I had to hand feed him with a syringe. He only had his pinfeathers. He was cute but he started getting jealous of my now 3 year old and would attack her so we had to give him away. The white rat I had for a short time was so sweet though. I would get another one if I had a chance. My boys would LOVE it. Angela
Picture of a rat! LOL! http://mud.mm-a2.yimg.com/image/2354162160 Did you know when I googled "rat" I had the choice of clicking a link to a site that said "gay rats". WHAT!?!? What next!?
We have 2 iguanas, 1 water dragon and a boston terrier. We have had many different pets - snakes, birds, horses, pigs, rabbits. Now that we are in an rv 1/2 the year we try to keep the pet number down. I would like to get rid of 2 of the reptiles. I'm still working on the kids.
