Well, I had decided that one day I would like a pet rat. So after Chig was gone, I thought that this would be the perfect time.
I researched foods, bedding, cage sizes, etc.. and found out that you really shouldn't have only one rat. This was a dilemma since my husband really really does not like rats. But I managed to talk him into it.
I went and picked out two hooded rats from the pet store. One was black and white, which reminded me of my childhood pets, and one was grey and white. The black and white was was calm as could be.. the grey one.. um. not so much.
Well, I bring them home and listen to the mini-meltdown that my husband had because they weren't very small (being almost 4 months old, they were pretty huge compared to my previous mouse) After he calmed down, he knelt beside the cage and watched them.
Husband: "The black one has sweet eyes. You should name her something nice"
I thought this was a very nice thing to say.
Then he switched his attention to the grey one...
Husband: "ARGH! The grey one has mean eyes!! Take it back!!"
Me: "What??!?! No way! You just don't like her!"
I then run over to see what the fuss is all about.. and sure enough. She has mean eyes. She looks like she's glaring at you. I was a little put off. I honestly didn't know they could have mean or sweet eyes??
