I'm totally with you on that! and thanks to you Ringo went to a good home :clap: I also have many degus [they had babies and I couldn't give them up ] and there was this one degu that is the sweetest thing and a guy had bought it for his snake, lets just say this snake was too small for a degu, so the degu kept biting the snake and the guy got mad and decided to slam the pooor degu against the wall!!!!!!! the little animal was having seizures and couldn't even walk when I rescued her. Her living conditions were pathetic! I took her home and gave her love, food and she is great now. She has a healthy appetite and always runs on her wheel. It still makes me sick to think of her torture a good ending though I HATE :twisted: people that are like that with animals!

Awww Brenda, so sorry to hear about your loss.   
no matter how big or how small, our pets meen the world to us and it's so sad when they pass away.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

  Good thing you stepped in for that poor degu ....and snake.  I do hope that fella rethought his feeding tactics and got something far more suitable.  I'm sure Miss Degu was thrilled to have another chance at life 

I've kept snakes as well in the past, and honestly, I think so many people get them just because they want to see one animal eating another     Found the same thing with people that wanted oscars and similar 'fish eaters'.  They were stunned when I didn't sell feeder fish, but instead tried to get them something far better nutritionally to feed their fish. 

Yep, Ringo was my first pet rat (of only two...I rescued another from the same store after she didn't want to be a mommy).  He was only with me for two very short years, but I've soooo many happy memories from him.
