Your edits to Brown rat
I saw your changes to Brown rat and can tell you are most likely like me and have owned pet rats (if you haven't already, check out Fancy rat). While you offered some insight, I'd like to caution you against using "weasely" words like "Some people" and "Many rat owners" these are unverifiable claims unless there has been some reputable study of a significant number of rat owners that I was unaware of. If you look at this diff] you can see specifically what i took out and I hope that you feel i left your original input intact. I also questioned the claim that S. Africa has banned the feeding of live invertebrates to reptiles. I don't really doubt you, but when making claims like that it's always a good idea to cite your sources. If you get confused as to how to do that, just give me a good link (like to S. Africa's gov page that specifically states that, or a reputable animal law site that talks about it - since you mentioned "various municipalities worldwide") and I can show you the best way to go about it. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 07:44, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
