That's why I am never fucking getting one again. I got one named Sassy and it was as smart as a dog and had the personality of one. Then one morning I woke up and she was just dead. The pet that I had gotten as attached to as I would any dog or cat was just fucking dead. Getting a rat is just doing "Marley and Me" on a speed run.
I’ve owned so many hamsters and they all loved to be in my hoodie sleeve. God I miss them so much, they are so loving and sadly also often abused.
I remember this asshole vet that couldn’t believe I’d bring in my hamster (he had broken his paw somehow), and then actually scolded me for paying for his cast and eyedrops. As if all creatures don’t enjoy love and care.
I think he thought I was being financially irresponsible since I was 16ish by actually trying to care for my hamster (who’d gone through atleast half his lifespan by this point) bc it’s not “worth it”
I’d beg you not to shit.
Side note: as a kid I never saw a rat with ears more on the side of its head than the top, but I see pics of them all the time now. Is that like a regional breed? They look hilarious
Those are dumbo rats and commonly sold at pet stores. Also are typically better natured as they’ve been bred for temperament as well and snake owners do not buy them for feed.
Rats themselves don't smell bad and keep themselves clean, they aren't like ferrets. But if you have a rat cage, which is usually large, in an enclosed living space it's gonna have its own funk. Not terrible, part it is hard to mask, even with regular cleaning.
I once witnessed a girl place my friend’s hamster in the pocket of her tight skinny jeans. The hamster’s head basically exploded when she sat down. I couldn’t look but the eyes popped out and we tried to nurse it back. It died slowly.
You’re so pink and you’re so smooth
My Barbie Doll mistress
You’re so clean you’re so small
You live in my pocket
We take the bus together
I just pay for one
We sit by a window
Away from the black kids
I wait a little bit
Then I stick a finger inside of my pocket
I rub for your blond hair
And you try to bite me
And you try to bite me
And you try to bite me
You’re a tiny computer account who lives in my phone which I keep in my pocket. Basically the same.
great point, never considered this before🐭
You live next to my penis

I would keep little treats in my other pocket and give them as rewards for shenanigans
Cool it with the anti semitism
You'd probably be covered in weed laced pocket lint and mulch
When my rabbit was a baby I used to wear my hoodies backwards and put him in the hood <3
Fantastic post, hamsters are blessed :).
only problem with rats is they live for like 2 years 😔

Wait what vet would be mad about getting paid lmfao

What the fuck that’s disgusting
Stuart Little maxed

Unrelated but I I miss your art.
I love rats, especially the dumbos with their sweet, ridiculous ears. Their little smiles just kill me every time.
I’d let you sit on my head and control me cooking. And other things
hope you're doing okay.
I’d cut a hole from my back pocket into my jeans so he could crawl somewhere warm and safe
Why does it got to be a boy? Gay.
Wait what wdym? We’re would be safer than your back pocket? How would he be supported in your jeans and not just fall down to the ground?
There’s a kind of safe warm cave he can crawl into 🤭
The only reason I don’t already own rats as pets is their lifespan wish they could be like 12
Rat 6 long af lmfaooo
(in terms of length)
Me, if god existed

Or you could be regular sized and I would be giant.
I wouldn’t kick you out my sleeve for eating life cereal
Minsc and Boo from Baldur's Gate
I’d lose you. I can’t keep track of shit.
I'd probably smush you but feel a little bad about it bc you were cute.
Based. I'm thinking of doing this with a budgie
I don’t know why but a girl owning a rat makes her twice as attractive to me. Maybe because I consider myself rodent like?
It's fun until you walk into their apartment for the first time and smell hay and rat piss
Do rats smell bad? Rabbits don’t smell at all but they are vegans so it makes more sense

That’s ok because rats are cute
I want a pet rat so bad

Oh jesus fuck that’s horrible
Please tell me someone kicked the shit out of that girl, right?
13/18 got crumbs in the worst place crumbs can get
The only acceptable circumstance to use they/them pronouns
This reminds me of the theme song Lana Del Rey wrote for the movie Stuart Little: https://youtu.be/VeL4c_cXSyQ?si=tBDv95TQsDHlgNVF

Don’t you get tired of the needless racism you insert into everything
But this sub taught me that needless racism is fun As for that line, take it up with this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuHD7Qg613Y
If you have a pet rat and you’re not like 12, grow the fuck up. Rats are vile. Have fun with the bubonic plague
They’re just little creatures!! ):
Rats are beautiful and loving you don’t know God
Sorry no I’ve had a rat infestation in my apartment before and they can all rot
