My youngest boy has been asking for a mouse for months on end... He prepared one of the old fish aquariums we had with some bedding and a dish, exercise wheel etc... Well since he was able to set all this up himself and maintain the cage without a tenant, my wife and I figured today would be the day I'd take him to the pet store and get him a mouse. Unfortunately for me they only sell frozen mice... for snake food :) So after being able to handle a rat in the store for a few minutes, my overly excited son decided "nibbles" the rat would come home with him instead... Yup, he had a name picked out a long time ago...
He's one happy camper.... Errr well I guess they both are, Nibbles has already jumped out of the open top on the aquarium so we are scrambling to find a way to contain him and yet still allow him to breath.
Oh, BTW my wife did not approve the last minute decision to get a rat instead of a mouse. So if your reading this blog for work, honey... Ahem, I was only kidding it's actually just a full grown mouse who looks strikingly similar to a rat... they had no baby mice for sale and the ones they had there seemed a little cold...
