A giant rodent as pet?
My wife has had many pet rats as pets. It worked out well as I've had many boa constrictors as pets...
Seriously, I'm not a huge fan of rodents but she did teach me that they are a lot smarter, cleaner and socially interactive than I ever imagined. And yes I did have lots of snakes as pets over the years. And yes she only let me feed then frozen mice. (Re heated of course)!

That’s friggin cool! I almost want one just to not have to mow anymore!
Oh no the start of another invasive species.
Hundred pound rats, new food source?
I saw one of these things take a bite the size of a volleyball out of a giant python...no thanks.
Snakes and spiders don’t really bother me, but rats I hate. I mean they actually make me angry. When they are outside or in the attic. I obsess about them and hunt they until I kill them all. I can’t stand rats.
I have rats and mice out in the barns and stable, feral cats come in handy and the only time I don't mind cats being around but then again, they keep attracting lynx and bobcats.
Bobcats are no joke. Aren't they similar in size to a mountain lion?
Nope lot smaller than a cougar, cougars are one of my primary concerns here.
JESUS!
lol, na, I'm quite content, no reason for me to take a step-down in life

Lol, I'll just have to take one for the team I guess.
Both of those were amazing cougars. Mavs’ picture was the heaviest one I’ve ever seen. Toexists’ picture, well I’ll just leave now.
I’ve had a lot of stuff chewed up or peed on by the little buggars so try to get rid of them from the pole barn. I will say though, one of my wife’s pets would roll on its back and liked to be tickeled. It was very affectionate and interactive. Very similar to a cat. I had never really thought much more of them than reptile food before that.
