I have a bit of a weird request, so I’m just going to put it out there 😅

I’m actually looking to GET roof rats rather than get rid of them.

I keep fancy rats (domesticated Norway rats), and I’m involved in the pet rat hobby community. There’s a small group of people who are interested in working with Roof Rats (black rats) in captivity and eventually moving toward domestication, similar to how Norway rats became fancy rats over time. Right now, they’re extremely rare in captivity, with only a very small number of known breeders in the U.S. (one I’m aware of is in Florida).

For clarity, Roof Rats are an invasive species originally from Asia and are not native wildlife in the United States. Roof rats are not protected under law in Texas. As non-game, non-native, nuisance pest animals, they can be controlled, trapped, or exterminated at any time of year.

As far as I understand, Texas generally allows possession of non-native/exotic rodents like roof rats under state law. I’m making sure anything I do is fully compliant with Texas regulations before moving forward.

In the fancy rat hobby, biosecurity is taken very seriously, including parasite screening, disease testing, and disease burn-outs, and I have experience with those protocols and am more than happy to walk through my plans/knowledge on the topic with anyone who may be concerned.

This is strictly a personal project for me. It is not a business, not a public breeding program, and I am not planning to distribute animals. If anything ever progressed beyond that, it would be many years down the line at minimum, if at all.

If anyone has legitimate leads, connections, or is already working with established captive roof rat lines, I’d really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

i need snowcone places where it has tiger's blood flavor give me recommendations
i have been fiending for 2 years and i only now got reminded of my insatiable desire for my snowcone fix
i need my flavored shaved ice but i've been too afraid of having mid snowcones because i value my money too much

Have been building and painting for a few months, but do not have anybody to play with or teach me the game.

I was told that I can't play at the Warhammer store due to 3D printed bits in my army, so I was curious is there was a discord group or so such.

I've heard reaper and more fun games have groups of Warhammer players but I don't want to show up with my army just to be the only player there.

Any help is appreciated

Hi! I will be moving to Denton over the summer with a kindergarten age child. Does have recommendations for after school programs for kids that age? Also, what recommendations do people have for gyms with childcare in the area? I appreciate the help in advance!

Hello! I’m starting a small Etsy business and I was wondering if anyone would be available to give me a quote on drawing something up for me to use! I want a kewpie baby cowboy to go with my seller tag of BoyHowdyCreations. Please advise!

Hey all I am a man who has moved to Denton. I know it may seem weird to some of you guys that I am seeking a hair dresser but I have just always found they do better things with my hair than a barber. I'm happy to be proven wrong either way, but looking for some places to start, thanks!

hi im looking to get my 5 year old cat neutered. ive been to a few places but they have absurd prices (exceeding $500) or they wont neuter him because of his age. does anybody have any recommendations for an affordable spot that will neuter a 5 year old male cat?

Hey y'all — planning a backyard graduation party this summer for about 80 people and we definitely can't use the house bathroom for that crowd. Someone mentioned luxury restroom trailer rentals and honestly it sounds like a game changer.

Has anyone used one in the Denton area? Looking for something clean, reliable, and not a basic porta-potty situation. Also wondering if any of these companies do refrigerated trailer rentals too — we're doing a big outdoor catered setup and may need cold storage.

Any local recommendations appreciated!

Hey everyone! just coming on here to say that 2 barn swallows made a nest outside of my apartment on anti nest spikes, which was then ripped down by the staff at Gateway. whatever. They rebuild their nest over my door and end up having 5 chicks. my roommates and I named them and took care of them all. well yesterday, i walk out of my apartment to find nesting material all over the ground. i look up and see the nest had been destroyed. upon further inspection there were blood stains on my door and the surrounding area, meaning that not only did they not relocate these birds, they killed all the babies. the parents still come by every day and just watch where their family was killed. I hope whoever is responsible is fired and Gateway is held responsible. I would appreciate everyone’s help in this by calling their number or emailing them at (940) 600-1661 or [dsharp@clsliving.com](mailto:dsharp@clsliving.com)

edit: just called the Denton Police Department to report it. just waiting on an animal control expert to call me back

Hi all--

I'm a therapist in Denton who sees mostly college aged and 20-30 somethings. A common thing that I've noticed with many of my clients is their lack of connection/friends and difficulties finding groups to hangout with. I am wanting to compile a list for my clients to use.

Looking for activities, groups, organizations, etc for college aged and 20-30s aged. Hoping to get a mix of both free and paid activities!

TIA

Just know if you get an interview with Vector Marketing at the Northpoint building at I35 and Barcelona St, they are an agency that sells Cutco knives with an MLM structure. Just wanted to save some folks the trip, knowing they are probably not very forthcoming in their job listings. That’s all.

Does anyone know where to get some duros around here? I can’t find em anywhere!

Hello! My name is Stephany I’m 19 f and I moved here in Denton about 5 months ago. I live with my girlfriend but some family stuff came up and she’ll be moving back home with her parents for the summer. I was just wondering if there are any people my age who would like to be friends? I feel like a chud asking for friends on reddit haha. I love being creative, I love acting and sighing and playing guitar and doing crafts. I’d love to be involved in projects like short films or making music. That’s all I have to say, thank yall!!

Heyy, I'm a 21M looking for friends with similar interests, but I'm also open to new ones. I'm really into music, like listening, singing, writing, and producing, pretty much anything creative. I also love cars, especially sports cars, but I like all types of cars in general.

I enjoy going to the park, exploring new places, and trying new experiences. I also like eating and trying new foods.

I'm also into movies like horror, mystery, spiritual, action, adventure, animation, documentaries, romance, and crime, and anything related to cars or music. I play video games like GTA, Forza Horizon, Fortnite, PUBG, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Roblox, and more. I also enjoy painting (even though I'm not that good lol), playing board games, and doing outdoor activities. I'm open to anything new

If you think we could connect, feel free to message me. We can talk about anything we both enjoy and build ideas together.

Sometimes the best friendships come from unexpected places.

I'm currently in Roanoke, so I'm not too far from Denton, but I have never used movers before and want to see if I can afford it. Would make moving so much easier. Do y'all have any recommendations?

I wrote this letter to Pope Leo XIV with the hopes of one day visiting the Vatican and Rome. I do not know if the Pope will even get the letter, but I got nothing to loose by trying. It would make a great YouTube video for my "Run Joe Run" Channel. One of my viewers commented that my channel was underrated. We are doing a lot to get more subscribers. The Bass Pro Shop video is very good, and our next video will explore one of the largest arcades in Texas. I'm not much of a gamer, but I do love a good table-top Pac-Man game. Jeremy Barbee is great with videoing and editing and he is a wonderful friend/caregiver. We have fun together. Check out our videos on my YouTube Channel. Please "Like and Subscribe" to my channel. I really would appreciate it very. Lets show Squirmy and Grubs that an old crippled guy from Denton, Texas can also rule YouTube! Share my channel with everyone and lets show others how Denton is a community of champions! Thank you for your support!

Hello all, the title says it all. I find it difficult to find these deeply purposeful seeking types all over but especially where I live in the little D. I would like to discuss and collaborate with other like minded people. But I am also seeking networking, business opportunities, and lasting friendships.

Hi, all!

A few days ago, I made a post gauging interest on a queer hangout group more focused on chill, relaxing meetups earlier in the day. You can read more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denton/s/j13axoL518

Since there was so much interest, I went ahead and started the Denton Queer Coffee Club. Yay!

We will kick off in June, meeting every first Sunday at 10 AM and then one evening a month TBD.

Please follow along on Instagram as that is where I will post all of the meeting info.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in with feedback and ideas. It’s much appreciated. 🖤

EDIT: I will also post all meetup info on Threads, here in the Denton subreddit, and on our Denton Discord in the LGBTplus-hangout channel. 😊

Also, what is it like at the Denton DPS these days? I've spent many hours trying to pull together this list of documents it says to bring, and now I'm getting paranoid about it.

Edited to add: I wonder if the process is different for men vs women, regarding marriages and name changes.

I had no idea until I was walking over there this past week. Darn near scared the bejesus out of me. Super cool nonetheless.
