Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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, 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, 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

Did you buy it when it was pregnant?

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

Wow I just learned all about rat babies quite interesting. One thing is for sure momma rat can get pregnant immediately after birth so you might want to look into getting an aquarium style cage. You might be able to get her spayed but it's costly. Also after 5 weeks you have to separate males and females because they will get it on.

Well, the rat may possibly have been pregnant when you got it. With working at a pet store, I know that sometimes, they come pregnant to the pet store from the supplier. Also hamsters can hold on to sperm for months..They may do that too..One of my hamsters did that...

In a very small turkey baster, in the freezer?

Just because your rat can get some before you can doesn't mean you have to complain on FML about it.

Why do we always turn to Asian children to kill our pets? Those jobs should go to hard working EuthinAmerica, Those kids deserve it.

The only thing more annoying than bad grammar is a sandy ******'d grammar nazi who feels the need to reprimand someone for the most minor mistakes.
