[Muffy]

Here is my daughter's new pet. She always wanted one so....Here is Wilbur, a Hairless Sphinx Rat....he is so friendly but I'll be the first one to say he is homely looking! LOL...

Awww, what ever she likes......and when I saw the name Wilbur I thought of Debbies cat.....

I said the same thing, but I told her daughter

She knows I think Wilber is homely, but she dont' mind does she Bev?

Oh thats a good picture Bev!!

[govgirl75]

I think he is kinda cute, but then I have a snake for a pet, so what do I know?
Do you have to knit him a sweater for winter? Does he have any fuzz on his body at all?
Good luck with him. He will certainly be a conversation piece.

He has like a light case of peach fuzz on him. Not very much tho. He sleeps in a house in his cage with lots of stuff in it to keep him warm. As chilly as it has been out his little body stay really warm....like a hot water bottle....Not sure how but he does. Thanks Annie! Hard to get a picture of an active critter! Abby doesn't mind about people syaing he's homely. She loves him. That's all that matters she says.....LOL!

[newtohosta-no more]

Ewwwwwwww! Only a face a mother could love.
Glad she's happy with the little critter.

Ummm...errr.. well isn't he errr... interesting? Yeah..that's the word I'm looking for.... He's very very interesting! *S*

Did someone drop a bottle of nair on that poor guy? He's going to need a knitted sweater in the winter...do they make sweaters that small? LOL

As long as your daughter thinks he's cutie..that is great!

Wanna borrow my cat for a few days?!

Now that is one seriously ugly creature. God has a sense of humor for sure . . . or perhaps it's some sort of genetically engineered thing???

Your daughter must be a very special girl! She loves all the creatures!

[doublemom2]

To each his/her own... and that's coming from someone who has three lizards and thinks they're cute as pie, though most people wouldn't have one in their house LOL! After having long-haired hamsters also, Wilbur looks like he's cold brrrrr!!! So glad he's friendly and that your daughter likes him, rats are incredibly good pets from what I've heard.

Well Wilbur is still doing great but we thought he needed a friend so we got a Dumbo rat...My daughter named him Roo. Wilbur loves him and they keep each other warm so now Wilbur has a furry friend to keep him warm!

[party_music50]

LOL! I'm speechless. Or at least there's nothing I could add. I just love all of the candid posts!
