This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Kids shouldn’t have rodents as pets.

And I had one as a kid…

Rats are great kid pets. But as any pet should be primarily be taken care off by adults, not the kids themselves

How else are they going to learn about cannibalism?

We caught the mouse on our attic, by luring them into a moveable plastic bath tub. Then we apparently overfed them, so most of them ended up dieing because they got stuck in the toys, which mainly was cardboard rolls from paper towel

Nothing bad happened. But the fact that kids want to cuddle and rodents definitely do not should be enough reason to not give them to kids.
