    Hahaha, thanks, I totally missed that video. I need more videos like that.

    Not the deterrent you might imagine, and definitely not more destructive than other pets.

    I always have too many eggs left over unless I use them up baking, and he thoughtfully provides the cupcake tin at the end. Same issue with milk, it expires too quickly to cry over when it’s spilled

    I just have to remember to bake more frequently, so that their rambunctious nature will be somewhat tempered.

      They’re probably really fun pets because of their intelligence, but they’re nocturnal, so they get into all sorts of trouble when you’re sleeping. I used to work with someone who had one as a pet, and she mostly loved it, but she sometimes wanted to shoot it. She definitely didn’t seem to have the same sort of bond with it that you would form with a dog. I guess her relationship with it was like a relationship with a semi-psychotic cat. She ended up needing to crate it when she left the house because it was literally tearing her house apart. That’s not good for the animal, since they’re not content in there like dogs are.
