He has been found holding the rats and when I suggested getting more rats he said yeah but I like these dumbo ones . Now he is talking about looking at cages so he can help choose the one he likes and moving things round so we can fit it in the lounge. So as you can see this addiction is very fast acting, please take precautions before it happens to you, unless of course this warning comes to late to help you.
I have also heard of hamsteritis...is it similar?

Re: Warning ! ( pet rats.)
Goodness... TDM, do you mean you have never heard of the GMR Virus before?

It's a horrible affliction.

I think they are very closely related, I obviously have both conditions.

Re: Warning ! ( pet rats.)
You are definately too late for me, I didn't like rats 10 years ago, til OH wanted one, I said I will see them but thats it, I fell in love straight away
We now have 6 rats of our own, and though OH is usually quite conservative with pet numbers, he nearly kept all 5 baby boys, so I had to sell them fast. LOL
I must say the addiction has spread through the house
