I got some new rats yesterday…

**Lew** · 28-03-2010, 12:12

I was only meant to be getting two boys but there were three left in the litter so I was talked into taking all three of them.

Please welcome…

Kirk:

Picard:

Sisko:

A few pics of them taken at the show where I collected them yesterday:

And just so they don't feel left out, my two old-timers who'll be living with the new boys once they've settled in.

Ford:

Zaphod:

Do they grow wings and turn into pigeons?

They look cute, I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of them.

Zaphod is living up to his namesake in that photo, a real chilled out dude. I bet he knows where his towel is.

I hope the newcomers settle in quickly to their new home.

I still can't look at them Lew (my rodent phobia is as strong as ever!), but hope they bring you lots of happiness like your old ones did

So not only are you a HHGTTG fan, but a trekkie

Live long and prosper

I so wanted to get a rat instead of the hamster we ended getting our daughter but the missus was having none of it.

I still get a bit of a shudder when I see red eyes so of your new boys Sisko is the one I could give a bit of a cuddle to.

Ford and Zaphod are looking well, how old are they now?

Ben B · 28-03-2010, 15:05

Awww, I would have rats but the cats would end up eating them

Neither, I'm not quite that obsessive. I'm just a general sci-fi fan.

Well they are both a credit to you Lew, I hope the new boys settle in really quickly.

**Maggy J** · 28-03-2010, 16:05

You'll have to fight my Mum for him. He's her favourite.
