funny story, the pepsi-can poltergeist

[candyraver69]

Seeing Wayne's little salamander made me think of a funny story to share.

A few weeks back I heard a pepsi can roll under the bed. (me and my fiance have a habit of placing empties next to the bed at night and then tossing them the next day). It freaked me out, I thought maybe I was hearing things, sat quiet a minute, and then I heard it again! It kept getting louder and louder, and finally bashed into the wall. I woke up Bryan and made him look because I was too scared LOL. He couldn't find anything, looked with a flashlight, picked up the can, and went back to sleep. A few hours later, there it was again! Well finally I got up out of bed and decided to do a head count of all the ratties. I thought for sure one had escaped and was under there hiding and running off when we shined the light. All the ratties were there. Well this kept up for a few days. I left some food out to experiment and see if it would eat, maybe I had a wild mouse or something? The food would always disappear.

Well one morning Bryan wakes me up wit a pepsi can, with a cute little nose poking out. It was a weanling ASF! When I did the headcount I didn't even think about the ASF babies because the moms had a bad run of cannibalizing them and I kept losing babies left and right. It did strike me a little odd that one baby that was weaned would be cannibalized, but I figured it had to be! Well I was wrong. The weaned one that disappeared wasn't eaten, he was an escapee living on my candy stash and pepsi!! He got named Pepsi.
