Haha.. You know, the petsmart next to me hadn't carried rats in the Years and years that I've shopped there.  Suddenly one day they had an accidental shipment of rats come in, had two females in the bunch as well and the manager (who I was told time and time again was scared of rats, which is why they don't carry rats or mice or anything with long tails, just hamsters and guinea pigs) wound up taking the females home for herself!   I suckered myself into buying two boys as well, who wound up having problems and gahhh.. long story short, they now carry rats regularly, including dumbos and most with weird facial markings.   I'm a sucker for all those but I'm good and haven't had anyone new come in since those two boys from back when. 

If Colin came in with me, yeah, we'd probably wind up with another pair of rats.  But 6 is OK for the ferret nation 142, I can't picture more than that in there honestly.  Not with the amounts of mess THESE guys make

  HA!. That is EXACTLY how I ended up with Anton and Szandor. I had to get new bedding at Petsmart and BAM! There they were; 2 hairless, nekkid, dumbo baby boys...and my husband who swore up and down we would NEVER buy from a petstore again...asked to see them.  Needless to say, it was fate, because they are the sweetest, lickiest,most loveable popcorny boys...Good luck with the names

SUCKER! Haha, congRATS Mary! That's how I ended up with Bella & Arista (okay, not exactly, since I was alone, but still...). I almost bought another girl on Thursday just because she was all alone and I felt bad for her... but I resisted (My dad will kill me if I bring another one home).
