Description

Here ya go Mom, Rats!

EDIT:
Ok, since it seems that most people are TOTALLY incapable of noticing the huge label in the middle is this deviation, and obviously can't type a species name into Wikipedia or Google to look anything up, and since they must INSIST on telling me that these CAN'T possibly be rats, here's a link:[link]

And yes, the bloody taxonomists have decided that they're "mice" but they are called RATS by all common names; "Natal Rat" "Soft-Furred Rat" "Common African Rat" etc.
SO STOP ALREADY. Really.

They are about twice the size of a mouse, and no, they are not correctly sized for living in rat cages. And no, I don't even have them any more. This group all died of old age.

Afterall, despite the fact that this seems to keep popping up for some reason, I originally submitted it on July 13, 2007

It's old. IT'S IN MY FREAKING SCRAPS.


Would people please quit arguing with me about the taxonomy of dead rodents?

If you want more info, this link explains their relationship to both Rats & Mice: [link]
