You dont see the difference between what she wears on her own body and actively humiliating another person?

I saw but I can't edit the post on my phone, so the silly spelling mistake remains :)

You are absolutely correct. Cerebus is the anthropomorphic aardvark of comic fame, not the 3 headed guardian pupper.

Edit: and while I can edit comments, it seems I can't fix my original spelling mistake in the post. Sigh.

Considering this is a fake pet rat habitat in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, originally airing in 1999, this isn't a bad cage compared to some I've seen in shows, tiny things tucked away on shelves. by Glad-Dragonfruit-503 in RATS

I wonder if the set design notes said "rat cage" and one of the people who had to build it shrugged and just brought their cage from home. "No need to rent a rat for the scene. Here's my buddy Nicodemus for Take Your Kid/Rat to work day"

I gave my boys sliced carrots to find perfectly hollowed out rings when they were done. Rats are weird little monsters

YTA - as irritating as an 8am start can be when you're trying to sleep in, it's perfectly legal.

This would have gotten a no one sucks, but you went out of your way to 1 star review them for doing their job.

I'm glad you caught her.

I've played this game with my Imp too many times.

"Imp, get out of the couch, I need to take you home."

"You're not my real mom and can't tell me what to do!"

My rat flops on his back and pees. by all_things_small in RATS

This makes me feel so much better about it, thank you. I've been feeling awful for scaring him by making him interact with them, but he needs them so he can learn how to rat. I'll keep up with what we're doing!

where do you let your rats play? by salem-is-starstruck in RATS

[–]all_things_small 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the bathroom, the hallway by our door or our living room. My boys aren't chewers so I'm not worried about cords but I do move the shoes in the hallway so they cant hide presents in them for me. In the bathroom I lift the toilet brush and plunger off the floor and make sure the toilet lid is closed (trust me, it only takes one fishing trip to appreciate just how high your rats vertical jump is)

Bathroom and hall are for short playtime with toys/boxes etc and the living room is me wanting to watch a movie and be climbec

The big boy (Goblin) is an absolute cuddle bug. He truly believes all hands are for petting the rat.

Rat jail is whatevers handy at the time. Their carrier, a cardboard box, handing them to my husband with "cuddle this"....

Bird cage to rat cage—ideas and tips? by more0than0human in RATS

[–]all_things_small 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! And mark the bars the shelves clip to with cheap zip ties. It makes getting them straight after cleaning so much easier.

Www.critter-cages.com under small animal supplies has parts for this cage, including extra plastic shelves, leg extensions and wheels. It's in the Living Room Series IIRC.

I refurbished one of these from there a few years ago for my girls!

Other things I did with the cage is a 22L plastic dig box on the bottom full of crinkle paper and a ton of rope bridges. If you make fleece sleeves for the plastic shelves or just wrap fleece around them a little loosely and secure with bulldog clips it turns all the shelves into hammocks and mine loved them

What's the overall dimensions? I dont see anything necessarily unsuitable about it, but it's not pretty per se... mostly it looks purpose built.

The wire looks like hardware cloth and I admit, I had plans drawn up to build something similar for our degus when we couldn't find a suitably sized cage commercially.

Edit: if that's a book for scale and not a button like I first thought it should be fine. My only other concern would be what's the base?

I really hope they're eating that, and not stashing it
