- Thread starter mrs quoad
- Start date
Get some info on buying them first!Strumpet said:Might pick your brains (when the time comes) for some info. on keeping them then Qpants!
What breed do you want? Do you know rat breeders in your area?
There's a whole series of rat-based UK websites, and tbh I'd ALWAYS recommend getting breeder instead of pet-shop rats
Mine were pet-shop and lovely; but when I *ahem* buy my future rats, they're going to be breeder dumbos every time
Was going to get them from ...... pet store 
Vintage Paw
dead stare and computer glare
Have you not tried the tuna yet quoady?
srsly, cat's go mad for it. There's something in tuna oil that is actually addictive, so it's more like kitty crack than catnip (an aside, I can't find anywhere around here that stocks those catnip drops that come in a red tube anymore
).
Tuna in brine though - none of this in sunflower oil crap.
Trust me
I must add, tuna should only be used as a treat, as it does not contain taurine, an essential part of a cat's diet. If they don't have taurine they die.

That looks a bit promising. I'm sure I've seen other UK-based rat breeding websites...

And bear in mind that it's when THEY'RE ready, YOU buy
Proper rats aren't just on tap! They're produced in litters That's one of the reasons they're liable to be happier, better-balanced rats. They're not forced / on tap / sitting in cages in a pet shop for weeks They're from their mum, to their new owners, socialised and ready to be lots more socialised No pet shop waiting time!

The kittens are - so far - responding positively, intriguedly, and confusedly to the three new catnip bushes in t'garden
Well.
I had to drive from Surrey to Yorkshire. my route goes RIGHT by Wisley RHS gardens. It would be criminal not to've replaced those mangey foxgloves

It turns out there are TWO IDENTICAL ginger cats! Good god, I never knew that!
RIGHT! I'm off to spy from my upstairs window
They're really lively around this time - and at by far their most friendly. Unobtrusive cat watching = the closest mrs quoad is getting to pussy tonight
