These are my pet mice Squeaky (left) and ??? (right) (we yet to have a name we just got her). I love pet mice, but many people find mice disgusting. I was just curious what you guys think of mice.

Are they cute? or are they stew?

poll coming!

Aww, they look so delicious.

cute

awww they are cute. I bet they would love to play with my stray cats lol. :p

Mice can be cute.

Rats are disgusting.

I like felines. Especially cats. I like serpents. Especially snakes. I even like spiders. Rodents? No thanks.

LOL my girlfriend wants a pet rat. As long as it doesn't look like a sewer rat im ok with it.

:p Bastard lol

I don't know if your cat can match the somewhat coked-up speed of squeaky mouse (we dont let her out the house to play anymore, except to go in her excercise ball)

Mice are too daft to make proper pets, in my opinion. Rats are every bit as cute, and surprisingly bright.

I hear they are quite intelligent and if we get one I look forward to teaching it tricks.

I think they're pretty cute. But I've always had bad luck with rodents as pets (hamsters quake with fear ever time I visit the pet store), so I stick with dogs.

Mice are cute, as are most rodents

mouse in a cage - cute
mouse in a rolly ball thingy - cute
mouse loose in my house - dead

any questions?;)

You rock the casbah, and I agree with you 100%. I have two pet rats, and I love them to death. Poor rats get all the bad rep, but they make awesome pets! Mine just went on an excursion in the department store with me yesterday :D

So far, they are trained to stand up, come when I call them, and play in a boat in the bathtub, and we're working on litter training.

My older rat, Boomer! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/Shorin/non-pet%20Cher%20stuff%20XD/TEHCUTE.jpg)

more to come later on :)

Can we see the picture of them on the boat?

Neither. Just natural.

Cute. :)

Rats are cute too. My girlfriend had a couple of rats, but had to give them away when she moved to study. :(

Ohh well.. she still has cute little me. :D

I had an albino rat and he was sooo cute with his little pink eyes.

he was smart too... he would play fetch with me. I used to leave his cage open at night and I would always find him sleepign next to me in the morning. it scared me because I was worried I would roll over and crush him.

I wouldnt do this now, but as a stoner teenager I would blow my pot smoke at him and he would get the munchies, eat all his food and pass out for a while.

I also used to bring him everywhere I went... he would sit on my shoulder and when he got tired he would crawl down into my coat pocket and sleep.

His name was Grim and I miss him

I've got no problems with mice. It's ferrets I can't stand. They're like furry snakes with legs. I don't mind snakes, so long as they're not furry with legs.

I want an albino python :(

awww.....what a sweet story.:p

never thought a story involving blowing pot smoke at mice would qualify as a sweet story.

then again. . .

he was a rat and he loved it actually... he would expect me to get him stoned when I smoked. He would climb up close to my face and sniff all he could as I blew it in his face - lol

Like I said though, I wouldn't do tht now because I don't think it is right. Back then I didn't think about it clearly.

I want an albino python :(


Don't be sad, I bet you can get one someday. They are sweet looking. I like snakes.

Well I was referring to the sitting on his shoulder and sleeping beside him and crawling into his pocket.

awww.....what a sweet story.:p


Well I had to resort to stories that wont get me banned :p

Not that there are any stories about rats that will get me banned. :)

Me too. The albino pythons are gorgeous. And deadly. If I had a big garden confine to put it in, I'd get one. Maybe when I'm affluent enough.

Cute!

I like all rodents. The only thing I don't like so much about rats is their nekkid tail. But eh, minor flaw. When I volunteered at an animal shelter, we had a really cute white rat there - I was the only one he didn't pee on :cool:.

He was so cute and smart. He would come to me when I called him too.

I was often amused as most people screamed when they saw Grim.

What happened to him?

I love mice! I think they are so wonderfully cute and interesting. The name of my country on here, Moustopia, was supposed to be Mouse Topia or Mousetopia but it was taken. I live mice, that is also why I have been nicknamed in real life 'Mouse'. But before anyone gets any ideas I am not obsessed, I just like them and actually don't think about them very much when I don't have a mouse.

The pet I can't wait to get is a sugar glider. They are very social and loving and cute as all hell.

yeah the tail thing is wierd and my rat was fond of peeing on other peoples hands when they held him lol! He had peed on my hand before too but it was very rare.

That looks like Stitch .......as in Lilo and Stitch

What happened to him?


Well I had to move out of state and I couldnt take him with me. A friend said he would take care of him and got him a girlfriend - they had rat babies.

He said that he fed him meat once and he became wierd after that and started to bite him.

I've never seen it.

Aww yeah it is cute ^^ Not my kind of pet, but I could see why you'd like it. Are they costly?

Oh my God, you're absolutely right! Just a little less toothy. :D

And I really could have done without seeing that fat maggot, thank you very much.

I don't mind them but I don't love them either and I definently am not going to have them in a stew.

lol - i'm pretty sure that was a meal worm... not a maggot - :D

:D I can see the resemblance.

I wouldnt get a sugar glider right now because we have a cat that will traumatize it, if not kill and eat it.

more to come later on :)Ack! I wish I hadn't seen that. I loved my rat & miss it terribly... Died of old age, the poor little thing.
It pretty much lived in a pocket. Not that it didn't have a cage, but we were pretty much inseperable. It even got a wedding invitation once.

... Arse. I miss my furry little lady :(

lol - i'm pretty sure that was a meal worm... not a maggot - :D
I was pretty sure that wasn't a maggot, either - but I couldn't be arsed to think of the yucky thing's correct name in English. :D

Aww.

Your mice are pretty cool, but I must say my hedgehog is much cooler.

And they make ferrets smell good.

and yet another pic of squeaky (this is when we first got her only a couple weeks old maybe younger) she is much bigger now

and one more..(this ones a little hazy)

Oops.

Might want to think that over, Sumamba...

When I was little ( really ... I was little once! ) I had a whole bunch of white mice, two tame pidgeons, two dogs, and a parakeet. :D

Meh. I have worked in a lab where we had to decapitate rodents on a daily basis, and ever since I have found myself unable to hang out around mice or rats. Not because I think they're gross or anything, but because I'm reasonably sure they're plotting to kill me.

Damn. That had to be a depressing job.

Damn. That had to be a depressing job.
It is, in a way. Now I work in a lab that uses chicken embryos. I believe in the work I am doing, and I believe it is work the cost, but it still is kind of lousy to have to kill things. I prefer not to kill things, generally speaking.

Your mice are pretty cool, but I must say my hedgehog is much cooler.
Hedgehogs are the SHIZZLE. I had one for several years, and he was awesome...when our apartment building had a pest problem, we'd just let him out to roam along the corridors and he would eat all the bugs he could find. We had a very fat and very very happy hog.

I'm indifferent to rodents as pets. I know many people keep rats/mice as pets-they must be getting something out of it. I dont care for them and I know my wife would be physically afraid of them.

I am aware almost immediately upon entering a house that has them as pets- or pests- as they have a distinct odor. Its either them or their nesting/bedding I smell. This also includes hamsters,gerbils, rabbits-even lizards. cats and dogs go without saying.

On the subject-I dont tolerate squirrels at all. They are a major problem in my neigborhood-between chewing through garbage cans, phone & electrical lines/junction as well as getting into attics.

As of right now, I dont think they even travel through my yard anymore.

damn thats a shitty job, I don't think i could be around mice and rats anymore either if i had a job like that.

well im hoping to get 2 more mice to put in that house one will definitely be all black with a white spot on its face, and I'll name her money shot

Mice are ok, but personally I refuse to keep any pet that has to be caged. If they don't want to live with me of their own accord, they're not really a good pet. Plus, my cats would love to get a hold of them, I'm sure... but they're still somewhat kittens, and I'm not sure they'd know what to do with them when they were done playing.

My brother in law has a sugar glider - they're really cute. But they're expensive, and somewhat tempramental. They had two, but one of them died. Seems like a really bad investment to me.

Awww. I just wanna hug them.

Soooo....cute........:) :p :D I even saw mice in the London Underground in the tracks and they were still cute :D

Awww, I want a mouse now.

...but rats are cooler :D

Well, you know that white mice are in fact the most intelligent creatures in the universe.

That is, until you put them in the bottom of a dry bong and smoke some good bud through it (not that I"ve ever done that) :rolleyes:

My position on animals is thus:-

Nice things, hope they do well, blah blah blah. But unless one composes a symphony, finds a cure for cancer or writes a Shakespearean stylee sonnet, i really couldn't give two shits about them.

Brutal, i know. Doesn't mean we should mistreat them or be necessarily evil, however, if the choice is starvation, lentils or mouse...then the answer is most definitely "stew".

heres another photo of squeaky as a baby sleeping (my favorite pic:) )

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b220/DStudios1/squeaky555.jpg

Can we see the picture of them on the boat?

Sure can! You can see a bunch of shots actually! There are 4 rats; two of them are my boys Boomer and Beamer, and the other two are my roommate's girls Stella and Sadie. Wet rats look funny though :P

Also, I apologize for the last two pictures, as the delegate of Bookaswahli is not aesthetically pleasing.

Mice are cute too, but I just find them a bit...less cuddly.

Pictures!

Only thing I hate is that being at college, I don't have time to give them free roam as much. Although they are scampering about at the moment :)

as if you havent seen enough of my mice here is an up-to-the-minute pic of them...just took this about 5 minutes ago.

Rats are disgusting.
I had to handle and train a rat as part of a conditioning course a few years back. Smart things they are!
