I am allergic to most furry and feathered critters, and I sure don't want to have a snake or a tarantula as a pet :roll: , so I was thrilled to discover that I am not allergic to ratties!!

I was going to have just four rats, yet somehow I ended up with a lucky 13... all girls, ranging from 5 to 26 months old. Keeps me hopping! Good thing I learned a lot as apprentice to SQ before taking on my lovely girls.

Looking forward to lots of debates and discussions here!
 
Welcome, nice to have you here!

Yup !!
She refused to consider my suggestion of a pet chicken and got ratties instead ... go figure :lol:
 
I'm learning that 4 is just not enough... which is scary because 4 is what I'm at now....

So happy you got here, Godmother!
 
I was never without a critter (mostly cats) sharing my space since the day I was born, and never had an allergy until ratties. Had to quit having ratties when the last one passed. That lasted a month. I found having ratties is as much a choice as breathing.

I'm so happy for you - and kids that benefit from your love & care!
So lovely to meet you!
 
ScatteredRain,
If you've had a pet chicken, you simply must read some of the books by a Canadian artist and writer in eastern Canada, Linda Johns. You'd particularly like Birds of a Feather.

:threadjacked: ( It's my thread, and I'll hijack it if I want to!) :faces:

Linda Johns and her husband foster and rehabilitate injured birds, and you would not believe how much trouble they go to! They have a very smart pet chicken, who even hops into bed with them sometimes. This may all sound crazy, but Linda Johns' books are wonderful, very warm and charming. I learned so much about the emotional life of birds.
