A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

that sucks you just bought a rat when you had one at home the whole time!

There's only two explanations: 1. Your rat snuck out one night and went to a wild party. 2. Your brother wasn't getting enough action, and the rat was available. Each one seems unlucky, but either way the rat got lucky and now has baby rats she can eat. Mmmm protein.

11 baby guinea pigs is nearly impossible. They have between 1-4 generally and even four is on the high side for a normal litter...

Maybe he loves his rat... OMG, THAT'S WHERE THE BABIES COME IN! I knew all of those episodes of Columbo would come in handy. The OP thought he had it all figured out. He posted an FML, inplying his brother likes rat sex. Meanwhile, he and the rat hid in Mexico. What the OP didn't plan on was me finding the proof of a hotel rental and the Batman costume, placing him at the scene of the crime. Smart, but not smart enough.
