Re: albino rat pup

Re: albino rat pup

I had a friend from Ecuador who would smack his lips when we went to the pet store and he saw the guinea pigs. Apparently they are delicious.

Re: albino rat pup

My dad taught me a lesson as a child, if something bites you, bite them back:P (learned it the first time on a crayfish... who knew they are filled with green goop=/)
The rat ate some of my food and since he cant share his, i ate him lol.

Re: albino rat pup

Very very cute.I am not a fan of albinos myself.I actually kept a black male with little white feet out of our last litter.My son got a nice blue hooded female, she is super friendly too.I should know better then to raise rats, I always end up keeping some for pets.

They are just so darn cute.I should only buy frozen.

Re: albino rat pup

any hunter who has consumed squirrel or rabbit knows what roasted rodent tastes like.

The first chili recipes - guess why and what meat.

Re: albino rat pup

I fed one to my dog once.It was prekilled of course.He ate it too.
I also raised rabbits for years.We put as many in the freezer as we fed to the dogs.Good eating.I didnt kill them, I made my older son do that for me.But I can skin and gut a rabbit very fast with a good sharp knife.

Re: albino rat question

ty sir, i couldn't really find anywhere good to read up.
it didn't really explain what to what = albino, but i'll keep looking around. i was just wondering if just 1 of my normal rats were het for albino or if both were or what. because 1 out of the 12 babies is albino.
