somebody please help

hi all,,

ok somebody talk me out of this madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i made the mistake the other day of getting one of the rats out at pets at home,, big mistake,, she is so gorgeous and now i want her

i was going to buy myself a fish tank which was going to cost around £140 with the fish and accesories, and then ive now got it into my head i could buy a rat cage and a rat, or two instead
then to make matters worse i find this beauty in the sale for £59.99



in PAH its £90,,

so the arguement so far
I love rats, would love another one, and they are sooooo friendly plus the wee girl in the pet shop was shouting at me to take her home
BUT
with the baby due in 8 weeks would i be taking on too much??

oooooooohhhhhhhhhh i hate these kind of desicions

what do you all think??????????????

Awww
I'm sure you'll have yound hands full when the little one appears. I know what I'm like, I'd want to rescue the little ratties from PAH Tricky one.

how much care will the rat require?

generally not much,, handling every day, thats easy as mine used to come out and sit on my shoulder for an hour at a time

clean food and water every day

and cleaning out once a week, to make sure there is no build up of amonia from the urine

i really dont know what to do

ah get it.....OH can look after the baby for 1 hour once a day surely whilst you look after it!......

yeah, just get it In fact, get a couple

here here...they do get lonely dont they!

OH MY WORD!

you where supposed to be talking me out of it lol

China's right - they need company for when you're busy

you asked our opinion...why not get rescue rats....zoundz may well be able to help you on that front............
