Um, Punky, no offense, but why did you get rats and a ferret? You already have a house full of animals and I thought you said last year that you were done.

Honestly, that's a very rude comment. Why comment at all, except to cause trouble? That is why I quit forums for a while (Well certain ones, like this one). People are rude, not everyone but certain people.

Why does it matter to you? I take great care of my animals as anyone who has been to my house would tell you. My pets are none of your business. If I choose to post pics every now and then I don't need someone bashing on me.

No comment is better than a rude, snobby comment.

You act like you are better then everyone, and it gets very old after a while.

Cute little guys! (and im not a fan of rats usually..) but I like these! I like the little grey one

Oh and i dont think Nolu was trying to cause any trouble or be rude. Its just curiosity... I certainly cant imagine caring for that many! I can only imagine vet bills lol even just for regular yearly checkups/shots.. thats a lot of money. not to mention spending time with each of them.

again, Im not trying to be rude. I dont know you or your pets but.. why so many? why add more?

well regardless, they are cute little guys

Ive been on this forum for years, and why NOW does everyone try to find something wrong with me? Nobody has ever commented on my number of pets before now. This forum has changed a lot since the last time I have been on it.

I have erased my signature.

Maybe now people can stop being so judgmental and do what dog forums are all about! Which is sharing information, experiences, and of course pictures! Not nagging, and being rude, and being harsh, and bashing..and looking for every little thing they can find to start debates and arguments.

I dunno.. I guess I wasnt around in your "era" lol. which is why I said I dont know you or your pets, just saw your siggy and was curious.
Its not me picking on you or anything, ive just never seen anybody with that many pets and was curious as to why.
I just figured you were a rescue..

again, really wasn't trying to insult, sorry if I did. I was just curious..

Whats to answer? I NEVER go out and seek animals, if that's what you mean. Animals in need have ways of finding me, and I don't have the heart to turn them down unless I can't take care of them. I was turning rats down for a while, cause I thought my 8 were plenty for me to handle, I can never litter box train my boys! But I have had a few oldies pass away, and I had room to allow a few more boys into the house!

If Nolu would have read my reintro thread I did, she would see I got my TWO ferrets a few months ago.

It was a question, why get so defensive if you're not concerned about it? Seriously, if you take care of your critters, good for you, but just saying that and not getting all pissy about it is probably enough, you're fueling your own fire.

Two pages, and one actual comment on the reason of this thread. Nobody sees anything wrong with that? lol.

I'm going to go to bed, and read whatever new comments pop up in defense of the attacker tomorrow when I have time at work.

Just out of curiosity...why don't you re-home them once you've provided them proper vet care and ensured they are healthy and such?

It wasn't rude, in my opinion, and I did try to phrase it in a polite way.

I was asking because the topic of the new puppy and other new animals has come up several times in chat and I insisted that you told me last year you were at your limit and had enough. I could be mistaken, but I remember having that conversation like a year ago with you. So I decided to actually ask for myself. Nowhere did I imply your animals aren't being taken care of or that I'm better than you.

If you think I'm rude, tough luck. I am rude a lot. I wasn't rude to you though, I was polite and asked a question that I wanted to know the answer to. A relevant question since we've talked about your animals before and now you suddenly have a bunch more.

Didn't see the thread. As it says below. . . I'm not stalking you.

And Punky, it actually was a question. Since I considered you a friend. Apparently I was mistaken. :confused:

If I was going to start interrogating I'd do my research and go through all your old threads.

The only person I see being rude here is you, so, I'm just going to leave this thread alone. If you're being that defensive and angry over a simple question that you apparently can't answer, it's not worth my time.

Because there is nobody to rehome them here. Cats are everywhere here, absolutely everywhere. We have to ship them to other cities and states to get them adopted!

And rats are not wanted in my area, only a small handful of people like them.

And what makes you think I haven't? Ive adopted many animals out after taking them in and rehabilitating them. (Rabbits, guinea pigs, rats,mice, hamsters, cats even.

A relevant question since we've talked about your animals before and now you suddenly have a bunch more.
i actually don't have a bunch more. Ive had up to 30 rats before..I have 7 now. I dont have rabbits, guinea pigs like I used to have before their rehoming (Which wasn't me getting rid of them, they were taken in to rehome once they were spayed/neutered and a good home was found). My mom has a new puppy, we have also lost a couple dogs due to old age. And I have three new young rats.

Maybe I should just put MY animals in my sig.
