Hestia Homeschool for Young Wild Women

We are getting two of our adolescent rats ready to go to their new home this week, so we are handling them a special amount. They are very sweet little creatures. For the life of me, I cannot understand why they have such a hated reputation. They are clean, intelligent, and quite affectionate. None have ever bitten us.

The two rescued rats were carrying some interesting genes, and so we have babies that a solid colored, pied, Dumbo eared and regular eared, particolored eyes, red eyes, and brown eyes.  It is a quick lesson in genetics for the girls.

  I had a pet rat named Martin during my late teens.  I loved that guy and took him many places with me.  I think he enjoyed riding in the car and being out in the yard with me.  I set up a swing for him in my bedroom and would place him in it and rock him to sleep.  Rats make very nice, clean pets!

  I had a pet rat once. It was a sweetheart. Used to carry it around with me in my pocket. It would scare the----- out of people when it would climb up on my shoulder. It had a sad demise involving an angry person.

  I never thought I would say this, but those rats are really cute! I have never seen white rats before now. How old is your daughter with the new diamond ring? She is very pretty!
  Hugs,
