Today, my pet rat had babies. We've only ever owned one rat. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found out two of my rats are pregnant. The breeder told us that all of them were male, only one ended up being male. I now have 20+ rat babies on the way and no idea how to take care of them. FML
Crowded house
Today I opened the door for my cat and he brought in a rat with him. Now the rat is hiding in my house. FML
Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML
Today, my hamster gave birth. The babies were very cute and I couldn't resist petting one. Apparently touching a baby hamster will cause it's mother to reject and devour it. I am now know in my family as "The Hamster Slaughterer." FML
Welcome home!
Today, I was cleaning off my couch so my nephew could crash here for a few nights. It's been so long since we've sat on it that it is now inhabited by rats we didn't know were in the house, including newly-born ones. FML
Today, I found out the animal that was gnawing behind the kitchen wall all night was indeed a wild rat and his entire family. FML
Today, I woke up to one of my hamsters cannibalizing the other. FML
Today, our rodent problem was taken care of. I discovered this when my cat projectile-vomited a soggy, death-scented wad of dark fur and tiny organs onto the couch. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 22-year-old boyfriend that mice do not grow up to be rats. FML
Today, my hamster had babies. I came home just in time to witness her kick the mutilated bodies of her two babies out of her house, then crawl back in and go to sleep. Now my sister refuses to touch her and calls her a "baby-eating demon." FML

Misread the FML as "rabies" and was confused for a long time until I read the comments.

Fancy rats are intelligent, affectionate, sentinent creatures, and come in a variety of colors. They learn to recognize their owners, will run towards you to be held and can be taught to do tricks. Wild "sewer" rats on the other hand, will eat your face.

Everybody has their own ideal pet. Some people choose a smaller animal, because where they live, dogs or cats may not be allowed.

I feel like I need to explain a lot of things to people, on the basis of a lot of these comments. 1. Rats make great pets. Their temperament is a lot like a dog's, except that they're actually intelligent and clean. 2. Rats aren't carriers of rabies. 3. Rats were never carriers of the bubonic plague. That was a misunderstanding. The plague was actually carried by flees. Summary: Having a rat is a brilliant choice. Having a pregnant rat is a regrettable side effect of either not being carefuly enough about where you get your rat from, or of having a bunch of them running wild in your house.

Unfortunately most people too ignorant to know that rats aren't filthy horrible animals probably aren't the types to read any comment longer than a phrase.

Rats carried the fleas that carried the bubonic plague.
