I will scream if I come across a rat at the yard but yours are mega cute and I would probably happily hold one, it's when they get big I get scared!

One of my funniest teenage memories was of a guy trying to impress a very pretty friend of mine. She handed him her pet rat which he was happily stroking till he asked what sort of creature it was...then passed out when he realised he was holding a rat...

Oh my word *melts*

Five same-age babies at once? You're going to have a riot when they turn teenage :D (two of my boys are unbearable at the moment, I can't imagine 5! Have fun...) ;)

and turn teenage?! eh?!

Weeeeell they can sometimes go a bit wappy at a certain age ;) My youngest are just calming down now but for a while they just did not stop - they'd be everywhere you looked, into everything you were trying to keep safe, humping the older rats, jumping in your glass of water, throwing themselves off the top of the wardrobe, putting holes in your favourite clothes (and ignoring the old ugly ones), and just generally running rings round everyone! And then often there's a period where they're not quite food-orientated yet and everything is SO EXCITING so actually convincing them to do anything they don't want to do isn't going to happen. Another pair I had used to starfish on the back of the cage where I couldn't reach them when it came time to go inside and have tea. Or hide under the bed so I had to lift the mattress up.

But I'm sure yours will be absolutely delightful and nothing like that at all ;)

So how long do you have to wait now?

They are gorgeous, I have had two pet rats and they make fantastic pets. I am very tempted to have another one but already have eleven pets to look after and it's not easy finding someone who will look after a rat when we go on holiday, especially someone who will actually let it out of the cage!
