Bandit
Bandit is a new addition. He's a cutie, but he has a past...in his previous home, he's taken to biting his owners without provocation. When he bit their daughter, they had to face a difficult choice...rehome him, or have him put to sleep.
Hopefully, a change of scene will be all he needs to calm down. We agreed to take him and work with him. I must be honest, though...there are some cases where an animal is too aggressive to ever be a pet...neurological imbalances or something...and if that's his case, we won't be able to keep him either. But hopefully working with our vet, we'll be able to give him a happy home.
Please cross your fingers for us!

I've been offline awhile...but the sithrats and I are now back online :)
Best of luck with him, fingers and paws crossed here..

Has Stan camled down since the Big Snip? I think that's in the cards for Bandit. So far he hasn't gone for us yet, but we haven't given him much chance to.
Posted by: abita at December 10, 2005 05:54 PMOh, Abita, he's is just adorable! Look at that little face! Is he good to the other rats? Does the surgery calm them down? I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. He's so cute and so lucky to have you. :)
Posted by: Eanna at December 10, 2005 06:43 PMOh he is such a little cutie pie.. lets hope that is biting habbit is now under controll, if he has not been desexed it may be an option,... or maybe the daughter at the other house use to tease him or hurt him and that is why he bit her...
Here is hoping that he will calm down now that he had you guys and the others to play with.
scrtiches to all

He's too cute! I hope he'll feel safe and loved and not feel the need to bite anymore. Hugs to all the ratlets.

Posted by: Fiona Bun at December 12, 2005 07:16 PMStan is 100% better with the other boys since the snip - best thing we could've done :)
Posted by: ratty at December 13, 2005 07:50 AMYes, the biters. I have one that is soooo cute looking that everyone wants to pet her and "WHAM" chop everytime. She doesn't like people touching her. Otherwise, she is fine. I'm not sure why. She is good with me, but I warn everyone else about her. I can't bring myself to give her up. She is my little Aeowen. But she is very stinky. ~Poi Rat Mom
