Do rodents (rats and mice) disgust you?
I see that some forum members keep rats as pets.
I for one get freaked out whenever I see a rat or mouse irl or on tv or the internet.
Do rodents like rats and mice disgust or freak you out?
in the pet shop, no i find them quite cute. in a cage, no same thing. wild ones if seen either in my house or within 20 ft of me outside send em straight to the spirit world
i imagine farmers think the same way, they love dogs, they may even like wolves too, but if a coyote or wolf comes on their property they will take it out it as it can harm livestock and wolves and coyotes have been known to even kill dogs and cats
I like rats except that they attack your food and make mess. They can live outside in the garbage. We have stray cats in our neighbourhood so there are no rats by me.
At my old place there used to be a mouse that would do his run along the kitchen floor beside the cabinets every morning while i ate cereal. I liked saying hello to him
I think pet rats and mice are okay. Before I left Florida, I was at my parent’s home and was mowing their lawn when my dog started tossing this tiny pink thing up in the air and playing with it…he had found a baby rat in a nest near the house! I took it from him and encouraged him to find more…he ended up finding 5 of them. I euthanized them by putting them in the freezer, as my parents couldn’t have them grow and infest their house. I hope they didn’t suffer any pain that way.
I love rodents. They’re so cute! I’ve had 2 different dwarf hamsters, a robo dwarf and a Russian dwarf. I love mice and rats. And guinea pigs. Rodents are great.
I also love snakes and lizards. They’re pretty cool.
The only animal I don’t like is spiders. Big ones, small ones, fuzzy ones, shiny ones… they all freak me out. EDIT: Also centipedes. Eek!
