And a Burmese python, which ate mice and rats!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216858.post-37961879701798969242011-01-14T20:42:09.052-08:002011-01-14T20:42:09.052-08:00Jen - The gender becomes clear at about 5 weeks ol...Jen - The gender becomes clear at about 5 weeks old.

So they make even better pets than hamsters, which commonly do bite. I guess that's one reason why we have grown to adore them as pets, and have bought 4 of them now.Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216858.post-75599037068538094102011-01-08T17:30:26.694-08:002011-01-08T17:30:26.694-08:00That's a darling little boy!

I guess they are not much worse than a Hamster and my son had one of those when he moved out in his own house. Just hope it doesn't decide to bite him!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798489606177883758noreply@blogger.com
