>>I went road crusing with a buddy Saturday night and we found a juvie texas rat on the side of the road. It must be a hatchling from last year, no more than a yearling. Its only about 15-18 inches long. Funny thing is it made NO ATTEMPT to bite, tail rattle, or musk when picked up off the road. It was even calm when taken out of the bag and placed in its new home. This is beyond a doubt the most non-offensive texas rat I have ever encountered LOL!! In fact, the only reason I decided to keep it was due to its young age, and the fact it appears so docile. I offered it a f/t fuzzy mouse before I left for work today and I am hoping it ate. Here's hoping it stays calm and also feeds well LOL!!



good luck Kevin
