I would personally gas them. Especially if you've been feeding them. They are going to make awful pets, and setting them free might either end up with them back in your house or eaten by a predator because they don't know how to live outside of your house. I'd also be concerned that they carry a parasite or something that could get at your rats

I would actually worry more about chewing. Since that wood is from Ikea, it is treated and sealed, and as long as you don't let pee puddles sit on the wood directly that issue should be nil. (I would recommend just putting a bath towel or something down, underneath the Carefresh or whatever you use.) However, if the hamster chews on the wood, then you CAN get pee smell into it. As long as the insides are smooth, I don't really see anything wrong with it. It does look very nice.

What makes you think that they can't use it? A shallow dish of water would be fine, but will end up dirty in a short time. Make sure it's heavy enough that they can't tip it over or anything.

I put a rough decorative brick thing from Home Depot under my water bottles. It keeps the edge off. Alternately you could smooth them with an emery board instead of clipping; she doesn't have to be as still for that.

Yeah I have to agree. Has anyone seen Goosemoose's rat forum?

Wootcannon posted:You'll notice I never said it was a surprise, that I'd read up on them, that nearly everyone in my family has kept a rodent of some description of another, and that I was merely asking for clarification on a few issues. What's with the hate? You'll also note I'm planning this out four months in advance, it's not exactly a last minute surprise because 'hey it's only a rodent' christ. Nobody said they hated you! It's just a bad idea to get it as a surprise, that's all, and so your boyfriend should know about it before it comes home. It's really not fair to him to get him a living, breathing, eating, pissing and making GBS threads responsibility for his birthday. ^  ^came to post this

Yes. And they change their 50% color on Sunday mornings so if you get there while all the good people of the world are still in church/bed, you can get all the half-off towels.

ethan posted:That fast huh? This probably sounds really horrible, but I bet you could find someone willing to humanely euth the babies for some small snake or something to eat. Because rehoming them is probably going to be difficult. Here's to hoping that you mis-sexed them! Gestation is around 20 days, so after about 3 weeks if she hasn't popped she's not going to. You'd probably be looking at like 5-10 pups.
