Funny thought came to me. When Splinter was still a pet rat, did you ever wonder if he was used as a breeder?

Well, as an experienced rat owner...I can tell you that once they reach sexual maturity (which is earlier than most people think) they start going at it immediately. This is why its not recommended to buy a female rat from a mixed tank. You may get a lot more than you paid for! I was very careful to seperate my "kids" ASAP when my rattie had her litter.

So unless Splinter was an immature rat when he was purchased, or was kept in a cage with no females...he got some.

And since we're discussing rattie sexual behavior...I had a lesbian rat too. She'd behave like a male towards the other females when they were in heat. And I'd have to check my books...but they go into heat something like every few days.

*blink blink* That... would be an interesting topic for a fic. If the Turtles have all those turtle-traits, does that mean Splinter has all those rat-traits like that? Heh heh, no wonder he's such a stickler for discipline.

*Kameko* · 04-18-2002, 11:35 AM

*snickers* Now there's a weird thought...Actually I have kinda wondered about that myself...

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-18-2002, 12:44 PM

Hmmm...I do know a lot about rats...No! I'm already working on one fic and have an idea for another!!!

Of course, rat personalities are also very individual. I had one who was almost obsessive-compulsive about grabbing things stuck through the bars of the cage and dragging it to her "nest". They also tend to be fairly neat, but there were one or two who would use the "nest" as a potty anyway.

There is one physical trait that all male rats have...that my Splinter action figure is lacking. Prominent testicles. *snicker*

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 01:02 PM

I know all about having several ideas at once. LOL! Just look at how many unfinished fanfics I have!

*blinks at the last sentence* I don't think Playmates would allow that.

LOL! That can be fixed tho! a couple of syrofoam packing material things (aviods using the word balls) some brown paint and superglue and PRESTO! anotomically correct ratboy action figure... of course... if you don't have styrofoam packing material, other things would work... but I'd think it'd be a little hindersome and untrue to use mangos, so i don't want to hear it, ok?

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-18-2002, 01:16 PM

Actually, if I ever get that concerned about customizing my action figures I'm going to be a little worried about myself. Oh and they wouldn't be brown. They're not furry.

*Crawls back into the forum and collapses*

My god I have missed a lot!

I have painfully managed to update The Scariest Place On Earth? I have big plans for that fic, even tho it is a tad slow in started. Ho hum

Sign my cast anyone?

*Crawls back out*

Nun! It's been a long time since we last saw you!
*is about to glomp Nun when he sees the cast*
What happened?!

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 01:48 PM

Poor Azure must be having such a difficult time with this conversation.

Yes, Nun, what happened?

SeaThreePeeO · 04-18-2002, 02:02 PM

I can't tell you it is so embarrasing!

Okay, I tripped over the dog on my way down the stairs and broke my arm

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 02:14 PM

~Also ignores Splinter anatomy convo.~

Man, that bites. Hope you get better soon!

*takes blue pen and writes on Nun's cast*

**Kali** · 04-18-2002, 02:15 PM

Aww, that's okay, I once sprained my ankle after jumping off the bed. I sprained it again less than two months later.

Mica · 04-18-2002, 03:02 PM

ouchies nun! did the dog get hurt? I'm glad you only broke your arm...well, now you can draw all over your cast, BREAK OUT THE MAGIC MARKERS!

the smelly kind! (my little sister's casts are works of art, tho I've never had one)

As for embarrassing, i can't think of a NON-embarrassing way to break a bone, except maybe sports or a car accident. My mom broke her toe kicking a chair, my sister broke her arm when she was playing house with her twin and got dropped down the stairs, then right after she got that cast off, she broke her collorbone because a big guy fell off a ladder onto her at school... gah, glad i'm not accident-prone ;p And then of course there's Kimmy. She was ninja kicking around to kung-fu fighting, and popped her knee right outta joint and had to have surgery on her... see? right there! proof that being a TMNT fan can be dangerous to your health

hee hee

Anyway Nun, don't sweat it. It's all cool, it'll heal, right? meanwhile, hugs and fuzzles sent your way and get well quick wishes!!

**azure turtle** · 04-18-2002, 03:20 PM

It's okay, Nun! We're just glad that you're okay

*signs Nun's cast with a blue marker: "Get well soon! Make sure to get plenty of rest and eat lots of mangoes! You'll be up and about in no time. ~ Azure*

Oy dudette, that's awesome! I'm waiting for my 13 Archies to arrive sometime next week.

LOL! And you were mad cause you thought the guy hadn't sent them yet.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-18-2002, 03:23 PM
