Aw man, sorry to hear that mate.
Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.
Condolencies
Gah, that's poo.
I like having fish, you get less attached to fish.

Sorry to hear that dude, one of your ratties?
Yeah, he'd been ill but had got a bit better. I knew it was just a matter of time with him being so old, so I was prepared really. It's his brother that's going to suffer most, he's on his own now.

My little lad Cosmo died in the night 
So gutted for you, chap. Having lost Amy last month, I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a beloved pet.
At least he's not in pain anymore, though.
With rats, can you introduce a new one to keep the other one company? Or are they too intelligent and territorial for that?
Male ones tend to fight unless they're brought up together. I'm just putting some little cuddly toys in his cage for him to snuggle up to.

Just phoning the vets to organise a cremation for Cosmo. Man this sucks.
Sorry to hear that dude. Taking George grumpy cat to the vets to be cremated turned me into a blubbing wreck for the rest of the day.
Really sorry to hear about this Dimmers.
Oh Dimrill, I'm so sorry to hear about your rattie Hugs n stuff

Spoiler tags to hide pictures for the arachnophobes amongst us:
Smithy, the baby of the two, has recently been fed with two large crickets and as a result I've temporarily renamed him J-Lo:
Meanwhile, Rosie - the adult - is settling in rather nicely, although she refuses to use her flowerpot to hide in. She is also ridiculously aggressive still, I've only got to tap my pipette on the ground behind her and she leaps at it - the Chilean Rose is supposed to be a very, very docile species (they're affectionately known as "pet rocks" in the hobby) so I don't know whether there's something she's not quite sure about with regard to her new home. Here she is, with a (half buried) 1p coin for scale:
She also wanted to wish everyone on BETEO a happy Christmas:

Yeah, she's a girl.
It was really difficult trying to get our sled dog, to come in from the snow this morning... the big fluffy numpty!!
That must be it then. Maybe all female cats are whores? 
I had one on my bed all night last night. Just for the record, I don't actually own a cat.
Er - so you had a whore on your bed all night?
Was she dead?
Not when I started.
GENUINE LOLS!

Woah, muineapig!
Awwwww!
So Nibbler has something of a surprise under that cape after all Baby has to be called Kif. I've started calling ours The Zoidbergs due to the singing when I'm rustling plastic bags in the kitchen.

Ange joked that Nibbler was pregnant yesterday, as she'd got so fat. It must be one of the guinea pigs from the pet shop that did it, as the gestation period is 60-72 days.
I'm gobsmacked.

Doesn't this mean they're all going to disappear?
Awww....
As it's a BeeX baby, of sorts, we need a naming poll.

Congratualtions! 
Grampa myp...
Grampa myp... Here's hoping Kif's a girl so you can keep them together.
We've just inspected the proud mother - I don't think she's done yet. 
You do realise that Helen's probably already scampering towards Nottingham to have a good ole cuddle of the little one.
Have you got boys or girls?
2 girls.
Arse, I was going to say if you had boys and we had any boys, you could have them.
