Dumbo

Last night, we had to run some errands and popped into PetSmart to get Ringo a new cat toy. Being slightly obsessed with rodents, I always have to check out the small furry pets. I have been dying for a new kitten but with Ringo being on a special diet (and a complete pig), separate feedings for a second cat would be a real pain, and we’re only allowed one cat w/out having to pay a pet deposit.

Gerbils were always a big part of my life when I was a kid so, I have been seriously contemplating getting another one. They are so much more friendly than hamsters and always run up to the glass when you check them out at the pet store. Well, right below the gerbils were the cutest rats I ever did see! DUMBO rats! They have larger than average ears that are set lower on their heads, making them instantly stereotypically cartoon cute. Upon further research, they are a newer fancy rat breed that are supposed to be the most friendly and docile of all the rats out there. They’re quite intelligent, playful and eager to please. They can learn tricks and love to snuggle! I mean, c’mon! They are social and need to be in groups so I will have to get two! Oh no!
