Ok, time for some pics of something cute and cuddly
I have posted quite enough snake pics. Now it is time for something different. This is Jake my hairless rat. He is part of a new feeder breeding program that I am starting to replace the seed and fruit eating mice that I was breeding for my emeralds. He is already on a seed and fruit diet and is doing quite well.
The only reason that I have him is because I am too soft hearted and couldn't whack the little bugger. He came from a friend of mine that breeds rats and he was one of the cull males that he gave me. Well the other 9 got fed but I just couldn't whack him because he ran up my arm and sat on my shoulder and talked to me for 5 minutes.
So now we are waiting for a couple mates for him which are still nursing with their mother.
Even my wife likes him. He is just too cute to kill, but I will surely whack his offspring.
THis way I am doing away with the hair that needs to be digested by the emeralds and also not having to raise them up to full adulthood before they are big enough for feeders. That in itself will save much time and money on food. Oh yea, neither he or any of his brothers or sisters bite the heck out of me like the mice do either.
Isn't he cute>

LOL, I'm laughing like crazy now. I'd probably have done the same thing. I hate to say but that is UGLY. Don't tell him I said that. Definetely a face only a human parent could love. Don't people say too ugly to not be cute?

I was expecting another feeder rabbit half swallowed by one of your Burms when I opened this thread!

You know as long as you love him that is all that matters. Poor boy has no idea he is hairless. I have nothing against bald rats. Just think, this rats baldness saved his life.
