Is thinking about bring my rats to con what do you guys think?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:26:07 pm »

^ Rats as in live pet rats? I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea; it might even be against hotel policies. You may want to call them up and ask. (I don't think it violates any con rules...)

bunny_jean · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:29:13 pm »

Yeah. Live pet rats would probably be a health code violation. >_<

bunny_jean · « **Reply #4 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:38:01 pm »

umm. If you're staying at home, but not going to be bringing them into a hotel, how are you proposing bringing them to con when con is in a hotel?

do you drive? or are you going with someone who has a car? cuz if you are then why don't you keep them in there? that is if the hotel doesn't allow pets, i mean.

luvan1me · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2011, 04:46:58 pm »

hm well as long as the con is okay with it, then sure, but ask the hotel. cuz they are the ones that usually have problems with that sorta thing -.-" just say they are domestic rats. trained rats.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #15 on:** June 11, 2011, 05:16:22 pm »

that is even cute ;w;

lychee-twist · « **Reply #23 on:** June 12, 2011, 02:28:11 am »

A high energy place like a con? For the safety of your rats, I say leave them at home. I can see you getting shoved or glomped unexpectedly and having the poor critter go flying. If it lands on the ground, it only takes one timely foot to do some serious damage. Best to leave these guys at home.

Most pets are being banned from private places anyways nowadays unless they're service animals. I would be surprised if a hotel was okay with a rat. Rats are still looked upon as dirty creatures from a lot of people (I find pet rats cute myself).

I say bring them to cosplay meetings instead! Show off their cosplays at smaller events where they'll be safer.

Take pictures of their cosplays, too! I'd like the see them since I don't frequent meetings a lot.

yesh true I have them as a surpport animal like i said I dont ever leave with out them or when i do i am with other people i tend to get anxity attacks. and their calming when i am alone. I might have to suck it up when i got on the max to get to the con area. o.o and i rember last year i was attacked by 3 narutos =.= and pined down

lychee-twist · « **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2011, 02:25:21 pm »

Then definitely leave them at home. If you survived last year without them, you can survive this year. Just hearing that you got attacked and pinned down makes me very, very nervous for the safety of your pets. Rats are not durable creatures when it comes to going up against a human being. We've got at least 100 lbs on them, and most of us many more than that. Even turtles get killed when stepped on.

Seriously, thought! At con meetups, people will be more inclined to want to feed them and pet them, I'd bet!

luvan1me · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2011, 01:55:22 am »

i find the pinning very scary for you ._. much less to your rats ._. gosh. thank goodness i left that fandom years ago >3>

but yeah. TAKE PICS OF THOSE PRETTY RATS! DX i haven't seen them! OHOH! BRING THEM TO YOUR BDAY PARTY! :DDDDD

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 13, 2011, 09:37:39 am »

Sailor Moon rats...That must be so CUTE!
Bring them to your party

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #29 on:** June 13, 2011, 01:10:10 pm »

I migth not beable to brign them to my party. becuse I m going ot be in a car with a girl who freaks out and i dont wnat her driveing be effected by rats

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #30 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:10:46 pm »

I would love to see them! I used to keep mice (can't any more due to my allergies) so I love seeing people's tiny pets.

I wish I could bring my parrot to the con, but it's just not feasable. Although what sort of costume *would* go with a grey parrot? I can't think of any in anime.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #31 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:23:13 pm »

o.o no idea lol

YukonChelsa · « **Reply #32 on:** June 13, 2011, 10:17:27 pm »

2009 con we brought our two greyhounds; we were on the 14th floor and the elevator was crazy but they did really good! We even had portraits done in the photobooth. They got a lot of strange looks but they were welcomed by the hotel

with advance notice, of course. Red Lion and Hilton both allow pets. I might worry about small pets like rats, though; they are so fragile and with the crowds and all...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #33 on:** June 13, 2011, 10:22:20 pm »

^ I remember those greyhounds! They seemed well behaved.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #35 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:07:40 pm »

Yes but I checked the other day they will allow them. ^^ and i ll get their little rat bag it says rat on board. on the back and along the straps of the carrier dosent look like a normal back pack since its small my grandfather made it for me ^^. so if i do bring them look out for my black bag. they are small and all but normally sit on my shoulders or in their little bag. and they come by name.. well mushi dose not lusk o.o it depends on who i can get to watch them over that weekend becuse =.= they need food and water.
