Well, it's fun now. Ask me again in 15 days.
(I'm posting both here (where I normally post), and here, by the way.)
As most of you don't know, I got rats about a month ago. They were mostly for my science fair (which I got 1st in thank you very much), but I also really, really wanted them. :)
Rats have a horrible rep for being nasty, disease caring rodents. And while they ARE rodents, they're not dirty at all. They're constantly cleaning themselves and they WANT to keel their cage clean. And, unlike hamsters or guinea pigs, they want to be with you, they love companionship.
NOT to mention, they're adorable.
And, as awful as the quality is, this is even MORE adorable.

AH HUGE PICTURES. But her name's Eloise. :)
I got two the first go-round. One was a bit older than the other and she refused to warm up to us and started getting slightly aggressive towards the other one, so we had to take her back. We got a tiny little one instead. A week after we got her, it was very apparent that she wasn't healthy. But we'd already fallen in love with her and couldn't think of taking her back. So we called the store and they said we'd have to "return her" so they could get her well and then we could "buy her" again.
Anyway, today I went to PetSmart to get a ball and to visit the baby rat. (And let my just tell you, THEY GROW SO FAST. It makes me sad, because they've had her all week. And then I'll have her for about two days and then we're going out of town for spring break. So when I get back, she'll be so big! Sad times everyone, sad times.)
And now I'm watching Eloise run around in her ball and it is hilariously funny.
BUT ALAS. I should be going, doing school work. All of that.
I'm loving this BEDA thing. Gives me something to distract myself with. :D hah
