Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

Yeah, cool pets. Just a pity that the typical ones are bred to get cancer and thus usually don't live that long.
I wish a breeder would focus on domesticating and shrinking gambian pouched rats.
They don't seem far off.
Or could get a degu.
I feel like degu behavior is sufficiently different from rats that the gambian pouched would have a better end-result.
