Noooooooooo, hamsters are bitey little b*ggers. Rats are clean, intelligent and loving if you socialise them properly, they can do tricks and puzzles and sleep in your pocket. So cute.

The idea of watching the process of egg to hatchling to it becoming your own tortoise is hugely exciting and hopefully far less stressful than going through the incubation yourself. I found that excruciating with Esmé. I was constantly anxious!! So yes, I'd always recommend Gordon anyway, but I get the whole wanting dates to fit thing too. Once I have a timescale in my mind I hate being in limbo and not knowing. I can be patient if I know something's coming and when it's coming.....it's the not knowing!

Isn't is odd people who like snakes, seem to like rats too. I have always wanted a rat and I still haven't got one.

I think we have a soft spot for maligned animals. Rats, snakes, wolves, even dragons, they are nearly always the baddy in the story. They all have an undeserved bad reputation, and we're willing to look past that and make our own decisions about them.

I love wolves. And dogs. Got nice photo of a wolf and read Men and Wolves ,very interesting. Rats are a tad far, though I don't mind the white ones too much, don't they eat tiny baby chickens though...don't tell me.
Emma will have a favourite dragon in Game of Thrones I bet ! They eat anything but I can forgive that. CB

I'll let you know who my favourite dragon will be..... As Sean Bean is my favourite actor, I know Ned Stark will come top of my favourite characters, though I know he's not in it for long. An actor who's famous for dying so much. Typical to have him as my favourite.
