DH sent my son to school with cat food in his lunchbox

I was feeling ill yesterday so stayed in bed and DH sorted the morning routine.

He packed DS lunch box and instead of putting a frube yog in his lunch he gave him a lick-e-lix cat yogurt that I buy for my rats and keep in the fridge for hot days. Both in long tubes but different shelves

Poor DS opened it too but didn't eat any. He smelled it way before it got bear his mouth, salmon flavour 😂😂

Poor kid 😂

I like how your rats have a whole box dedicated to hammock storage. They must be very chilled.

I want 3 boys also.

Great title! Does anyone else remember the thread about the idiot DH who went in the fridge and ate a fat ball that the OP had made to feed birds in her garden? Grin

He should meet up with ‘fat ball eating husband’ from a thread a few years ago. They sound like a match made in heaven. 🤣

I remember that! Think of it everytime I refill the bird feeder Grin

I'm sure it wouldn't have hurt him but salmon flavour yogurt would have been horrific to taste...
This happened to me! My nephew is a chef and my Dad was letting me try a few things he made.

The pink looking strawberry mousse was in fact, salmon mousse.

@Comedycook

I'm sure I read somewhere that all pet food sold in the UK has to be fit for human consumption? Or have I just totally made that up?!
It's true.

The husband of a friend of mine took posh cat food for his lunch several days running - the sort with whole prawns in. He enjoyed it.

MathsFail · 10/07/2021 19:03

Wasn't there a couple in the news staying in France recently that asked their children for more of the 'posh French pate' they left in their covid care package. Which was actually cat food!

My husband ate a whole net of chocolate coins, before noticing that it was dog chocolate Blush

I'm a lunchtime supervisor and seeing that in a child's lunch would have made my week Grin

wedswench · 10/07/2021 19:25

That's hilarious. Reminds me of the fat balls thread from years ago

All of the Lick-e-likes are absolutely gross smelling 🤮

Your rats are adorable!

I've eaten the 'salmon ice cream cones' at the Fat Duck, and you are correct (sorry Heston).
ChardonnaysPetDragon · 10/07/2021 20:23

Could have been worse.

He could have sent him with some crisps and chocolate.

@MathsFail

They're nothing grim about it. They're sealed tubes of runny cat food 😂 and they eat one at a time so they never go back in after the rats have touched them.

But if you think that's grim I put my refrigerated raw dog food in the family fridge shockgrin

Anyways, they are for cats, but I have RATS smile

3 boys and they're wonderful

Oh my 😍😍 I am such a sucker for rats. Owned them from childhood well into adulthood. Sadly don’t have the time or space for them now but I still love them so much. Best pets ever. Your boys are gorgeous!

@30degreesandmeltinghere

Op can I ask where your rat cage is situated in your home? Keen to get some but worry the only place we have suitable is a bit draughty!!
Rats prefer to be cold than too hot, they'll snuggle up in piles in a cosy hammock if it's cold but when it's hot they become liquid and just spread everywhere Grin

OP Your rats are spoiled babies, I keep rat food in the freezer - frozen peas for pea fishing on hot days Grin

im2sad · 10/07/2021 20:30

Oh no, poor DS. Cute rats though.

I'm another grim one keeping raw cat food in the same draw as our raw meat.

TakeMeToKernow · 10/07/2021 20:52

They’re so cute! And faaaaab organisation system for rat gear!

JomeeSot · 10/07/2021 20:58

Don't say sorry to Heston, he is an overpaid tit

@GreyhoundG1rl

Keeping rat food in the family fridge is grim.
We keep our snake food in the family freezer. Due to the pet subject of this thread I won't mention what that is 👀😬
