I knew I wasn't the only one!

I've been infected for years and now it has a name!

Do we have a charity dedicated to help us GET MORE RODENTS!! LOL

So to kick start my road to recovery, anyone got any Baby Guinea Pigs for Sale?

Seriously i need a baby Guinea pig! I know i have it bad!!

I only want one or possibly two, if i buy the second to last one, i can't leave the last one on it little lonesome! That'll be cruel.

Ha ha i've just read this thread and couldn't agree more but did you know there's a lesser know variety of this disease its called GMBR (Get More Bigger Rodents)

Yes i started off with the GMR version at the tender age of 16 when i got my first fancy then i couldn't be without one after i lost her so got another then i got into showing and breeding for show.

Along came hubby into my life and he helped control the urge until i was down to keeping just 4 and then 2 as pets. I was doing well looked like i was getting over it i was quite happy with my 2 fancies and could conrol the urge to walk away from a pet shop with out a new addition.

But then it came back with avengence. I walked into a friends exotic pet shop and it struck me down. Hubby dragged me out seeing the noticable signs but my brain just went into over load i scrolled through the internet doing my research. "research?" i hear you say "but had you not kept fancies since you were 16?" i hear you say... Let me take this moment to remind you the name of this advanced form of the disease - Get More BIGGER Rodents-

After watching his wife come out in cold sweats and looking at the research hubby finally reconnected the phone to call our friend and off i went to get my first Gambian Pouched Rat! and it didn't stop there now i'm the proud owner of 6 of them and now help control my illness by running my information site and forum about them and helping support others that have contracted this advanced form of the disease.

You dont need to be on a forum to catch this! I've had GMR for years and years and only just started with forums I had a break for a few years but now I have 13 syrians obviously I wasn't fully cured! My bf has not yet realised the severity of my disease and actually encourages me to 'Get More Rodents'... eeek.

Being a new sign up, I was sure to read the please read stickied post and I am so GLAD I did! Thank you for letting me know about this disorder!

Going from no rodents to a syrian, two gerbils and three mice in a matter of weeks is not a sign of this disorder, is it? I am still completely sane - of course. Looking for bargain cages for animals I do not own yet is also perfectly healthy, normal and also not a sign of wanting more, nope.

I get it every time I go into a petstore. I think 'Aww, that little darling would love to come home with me' Or I see the adoption center and think 'You poor thing, I can give you a forever home'

I guess it is a good thing I don't have money spare when I go into a petstore! LOL

And cages. Since I am a pack rat by nature (no pun intended) I always think bargains like that will be useful, even when I don't have the room. 'Ah, this might come in handy, Never know when I might need a 5 tier rat/ferret cage!'

Is there any cure for it? Or is the only treatment giving in? Not that I'd be complaining

Sorry Im afraid its incurable, I have a really really bad case of it.
