Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2007

Have you heard of Ben? I prefer the remake.

I use to read a series about mice and rats, I think it was called the
rescuers or something, was pretty cool, because they used make shift swords,
and stuff out of pins and stuff.

pretty cool for a 12 year old with a collection of mice to read that stuff,
even made a few swords and things for them to try and see what happens, got
them to carry them around, but that's about it.

So I started reading um...Lair by James Herbert last night. Its about
rats (probably mad psycho killer ones), and is part of a trilogy from
what I can work out.

movies I know of..um..Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh (book too?), and
of course the new one Rata...whatever.

Are there any more out there? Surely there has to be a movie about mad
killer psycho rats. Or maybe even a Milo and Otis type?

Lair is really good, Domain and Rats are the other two from the trilogy,
James Herbert is a brilliant author, I've read all of his books.

I read Lair and the other two books when I was in high school, some 17
years ago. Each book got more gruesome. It was James Herbert who
finally turned me off horror novels.

I read a new-agey book called "Animals and the Afterlife" and the
woman who wrote it rescues rats and a number of her stories are about
her rats.
