New side interest: what are your side interests

Post Reply New Topic

Dear_one, I am taking a political science course, and I used to be really into everything fiction, but there is so much going on. I'm going to register to vote this Friday. I think it would be cool to start a blog where people got together and thought of ways on an individual scales to make a difference, big and small ideas, to be doing something, and trying things out. This would be a side interest, but would make a productive "special interest". I am sort of still growing the idea. a special interest is rats, they are one of my favorite pets, and I have a room I want to turn into a space, with as much freedom as I can give them and maintain there safety, and adopt feeder rats, and foster rats, as well as kittens, but not in the same room, not that that couldn't work, and in fact if you get a pet kitten and baby rat, they probably would get along fine.

I think I will search for one, and start one, I will post the results. I have never seen a llama indoors before. Ferrets and cats get along really well too, it's cute when they play. I want to make plastic tunneling throughout the bedroom that goes along the walls and ceiling, so it can be cleaned, and opens up to the rest of the room. So the rats have complete freedom within the room, and when I sleep, the tubes lead to a large cage, so they don't get a hold of electrical wiring, or something. So 90-95% of the time they would have fairly good access, and still have the tubes while I can't watch them. I think if I proofed the room enough, I could leave the house for short periods without having to watch them. I do online school, so I could be with them, and they could crawl on me while I do my homework. I heard they have a shelter for small animals, it would be a good transition home for them. Plus I really miss having them around. I just set up an orientation to volunteer at the animal shelter, they might have ideas.
