I always wanted a rat named Nicodemus.
Ended up with a mouse of that name with the softest black fur.
Yes, a pocket mouse as well, he ended up being a Methuselah of his kind. (3 years or so, mice generally only live 1 year or less.)

I can remember when I was young feeding the wild mice in my girlfriends kitchen at midnight..

We used to sneak out of bed in the dark and go down there and put a small light on and feed them crackers, etc. After that we loved mice.. and she bought a white on and I bought a black one. I can't remember their names now, but they were so cute.

Then later I got a couple white rats. My SIL had a white rat that was soo smart. It did everything she taught it to do, and ran loose around the house.. He was so intelligent, and listened to everything she said. He was more like a little dog than a rat.

Later I had Parakeet that was really smart, but that is another story..;)
