Biker Chick Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did anyone else watch The Rat Pack on BBC 1 last night? It made me feel quite How anyone can actually enjoy that line of work is totally beyond me!!! One positive thing it did for me though, I shall defo make sure that I keep my beady eye out for those horrible critters Just imagine though, having rats in your house. I knew a girl once who had them in her house. She had just moved in and she opened the oven door and a rat jumped at her from inside the oven I think I would have died!!!!!

chocchick Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The trailer looked quite good, but not seen it. I think those dogs are amazing the way they can catch rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy-Mama Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i would've cooked it! Hmm rat kebab - supplied with it's own stick! I've not heard of the show, but I have heard that domestic rats make great pets, don't bite and are quite intelligent, I want a white one with red eyes, but not getting any new pets at the mo...

LaPoule Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Every spring we get mice in our attic, but this year we got a rat. Could hear it scurrying around chewing on MY HOUSE while I was trying to sleep . It was so loud that we had to sleep in the living room. Tried humane traps - not intersted. Tried normal traps - not interested. Tried poison - eventually it took some and is now decomposing somewhere in the loft insulation!! Eurgh! (Luckily the attic is very dry, so no smell - but still, I know it's there!) For the record - rats are fine as pets, it's when they're scurrying around in the night, peeing on my stuff and eating my insulation that I have issues...

Valkyrie Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 We had pet rats - adorable funny little things. The only drawback is that they can pong because they secrete urine so that they are marking wherever they go. Females aren't as smelly as males - not sure about whether neutered males would be as bad. But if they are cleaned regularly it's fine. We had four and each one was so different. One was a very timid rescue rat - white with pink eyes (Pixie). OH thought she looked evil. Poor little thing. Truffles was the eldest, an agouti - intrepid explorer and cleverest - she was the longest living. Then Flash (she was the cleaner - cleaned everything - turfed out their bedding when it needed changing and washed everyone. She also had a Harry Potter lightning flash on her head. Last of all Dinky the baby. She loved to jump - she loved her food a little too much and when she was alseep she looked like a snowball. But boy could she move when she wanted to. Very nosey and an attention seeker! But vermin - nope, no way. Now they really do smell horrible, totally different. Vile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
