[quote ❷ĐØŰߣË❷]Hmm… sounds like a bit of a trouble maker!! I think you should just try picking her up by the scruff of the neck gently and see how she takes it![/quote]

alright. thanks

[quote ❷ĐØŰߣË❷][quote Em*[iLy]][quote ❷ĐØŰߣË❷][quote Em*[iLy]]yea.. i pick it up all the time.. but to get her out of her cage i usually have to grab her by the tail.. but once i have her in my hands she is ok and she will just sit on my shoulder… but it just worried me that yesterday when i was getting her out of her cage to clean it, her tail popped and now its turning a darkish purple :( and i didnt mean to hurt her so i was just wondering if it would hurt her if i picked her up by the scruff of her neck.. cuz i dont wanna hurt her again.. that would be terrible[/quote]

I would saw that it would be better to pick her up by the scruff of her neck than the tail. You cant put your hands by either side of her and scoop her up? Is she too fast!?[/quote]

no she runs away.. shes stubborn… shes too fast.. she runs into a corner or up in her hiding place[/quote]

You cant trap her in the corner and pick her up? I dont mean that in a mean way =S[/quote]

well when i corner her she jumps and bites and stuff lol she like being elusive

[quote littlenick]OK. You’re fast! :)[/quote]

[quote ❷ĐØŰߣË❷]I got this off the internet:-

When picking up rats, do not hold them by the tail. Hold it in a cup like positions as rats like to jump.[/quote]

but what about rats that won’t let you do that while getting them out of the cage…

well i know that you have to wash your hands before and after you pick them up.. i just dont want to hurt my dwarf rat when I pick her up… yesterday i picked her up and her tail popped.. and it worries me that i may have hurt her.

i got it off.. thanks everyone.. and yea.. ill def have a friend help next time lol

[quote kelleyhatesyo]honestly, i dont see how you could be in a relationship with him then. If he wont take the time to actually try to work things out, is he worth it? and I know thats the last think you want to hear. but its just something to think about..[/quote]

see.. i question alot even if its worth it.. bcuz he doesnt really do much of anything to show me that he loves me.. and its upsetting.. and also one thing that REALLY bothers me about him is.. when he does something wrong and he knows he did something wrong and i confront him about it, he kinda plays dumb i guess.. like he will ask me “what did i do?” and it gets on my nerves. and when we are trying to talk about something he will ask me what i want him to say..
i dont understand why he would ask me what i want him to say rather than trying to come up with something on his own

[quote kelleyhatesyo]talk to him about it.
tell him everything thats on your mind. The only way to keep a relationship going is by talking. you both need to know whats on eachothers minds. you know what i mean jelly bean? sorry im not much help.
i wish you the best. (:[/quote]

i do tell him everything… and i mean EVERYTHING.. every feeling i have and everytime he hurts me.. but he just doesnt listen really.. i mean he will listen but then he will just forget about it.. and he doesnt want to talk about it.. and if i point out something that he is in the wrong about.. he just doesnt want to hear it.

[quote tallish.la]oooh… emily, this is a GREAT question, but it’s late and I have to get to sleep soon.

Many relationships start off without fighting for the first bunch of months and it is normal to start fighting a little after that once you are more comfortable with each other. Most relationships actually end up requiring hard work to stay together, even the most loving ones. BUT, that doesn’t help you b/c you are clearly fighting too much.

So… the first question is: what are you fighting about? I’m sure it’s small things, but try to be specific about the triggers.[/quote]

yea we fight over pretty much everything.. here recently we got into a huge fight tho bcuz i went to visit an uncle of mine and i’ve been staying with my uncle for a while now and my boyfriend went out with one of my friends and he went with her to her house and told her that he liked her and had feelings for her and what not.. so we fought over that for a while and i broke up with him for like a week over that but we ended up getting back together bcuz he promised me he would change somethings that he’s been doing to hurt me and everything.. one of the biggest problems we have is he always breaks promises.. no matter if they are big or small. and he just doesn’t really respect my feelings on certain situations..
