For anyone who doesn’t know, Ice Cube passed away last week and his owner could really use some love right now
Oh no. I JUST saw this video and was so happy. At least he had the most wonderful life with this awesome lady. I'm grateful for that. And I honestly believe, we will be with our pets, in heaven some day. That's the only thing that gives me hope, personally.
Oh noo. This breaks literally breaks my heart. Where did you get that information from?
Icecube is now living his best life in rat heaven. Maybe he'll meet my past rats Oskar, Cookie, Max and Moritz. May they all rest in piece. Precious little babys♥️♥️
Sending prayers that God will comfort this kind woman in her loss! Sweet little Ice Cube is waiting for her in Heaven. Someday they'll be together again, never to be separated
🙏❤❤🐀❤❤
😭😭😭
@@finn0721 absolutely!! 🌈🙏❤
For those wondering: the crunching chewing nose he is making when grinding his teeth is "bruxing" and when his eyes look like they're bouncing up and down, that is "boggling"...
Both are signs a rat is very happy and content. It's like purring and snuggling from a cat.
Thanks for the info!
So cute!
@My Channel Oh my goodness, no, but isn't she amazing? She's so good at training them! No, I'm just someone who had rats for pets as a child. They're nothing like what most people expect!
@@melissasaint3283 Melissa you are a Saint !
@@xanbex8324 aww, how kind!
(I'm not being grandiose, btw, it's just my surname)
I just watched Ice Cube's story. It melted my heart. Then I read that he had passed away and my heart broke. You have my deepest sympathy. Thank you for being such a wonderful person. The world could use a lot more caring, loving people like you.
Ice Cube says "No REGERTS"... EVERYONE was right. He would do it all over again to spend the rest of his life with you.

😢😢😢😢😢
Having pet rats completely changed my view on pets. It's not just about cats and dogs. All these animals need our love and protection. Even the small guys deserve respect, for the love they gave me is an experience that has changed me forever. It's a little late but my condolences my lovely rat fan friend. I completely understand the spot they take in your heart, it's so much bigger than I ever expected. Much love to you and yours ❤
All creatures, plants, and human beings are here for a purpose. Some animals were meant for pets, and others were meant to be a part of the food chain, along with the plants .
@@bobbieschroder6617 well rats we don't eat so are you saying they should be our pets and not cows for instance?
@@sellbydate LOL! Even though rats are not normally eaten by people, rats are still part of the food chain. By nature, ALL animals, especially referring to those in the wild, are part of the food chain. This means that somewhere, an animal is going to be eaten by either another animal, or by a human being. Humans (for the most part) are at the top of the food chain. 🍀
As for certain farm animals (such as cows), a few of them do get lucky enough to be converted into pets... especially at farm sanctuaries. 🐮🐓🐐🐏
@@bobbieschroder6617 I know what your saying but if an animal is giving us love and we love it back I think it can be a pet no?
Sometimes love between unlikely animals happen pig/duck. Horse/cat to name only a few ..
I think if love is there no matter how unlikely 💕 it's a nice thing
@@sellbydate Sure! I realize now that I should have worded it a little differently. What I meant to say is, there are some animals that were *_destined_* to be pets (it was in that particular animal's destiny, such as John Smith's pet rats). I wasn't referring to only certain types animals, such as dogs and cats. I was referring to any animal, in general. _That's why I brought up farm animals, as an example, in my comment to you._ Sometimes people make them into pets, even though they aren't traditionally seen as pets. I hope this clears things up for you. 😃
This lovely woman knows the simple truth: that kindness is its own reward.
Yours is a beautiful comment :)
She waited 45 years for the right man. Didn't find him though. And instead of becoming a cat woman she became the rat woman.
Beautifully said🙏👍🏻
I second that! GOD BLESS U
Well said..
I'm a car mechanic and years ago I found 4 pinkie baby rats in the engine of a car I was working on. I ended up taking them home and nursing them to adulthood. The runt unfortunately died before adulthood. But the other 3 lived for 6 years and made some of the best pets I have ever had. They completely changed my view on rats.
You are a kind person. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome. You inspire me to give rats a chance. 😀
6 years is double their normal lifespan!! You must have taken great care of them❤
@Troma You're cool dude, having them for 6 years? God must be delighted watching you from above.
@Untrepid One Exactly! I mean just look what Jaws did to the shark population
This world is definitely a better place because of people like yourself. Much love from animal lovers everywhere.
Ice cube was beautiful and a massive thanks to this lady.Who showed him all the love and kindness all animals deserve.Just wish there was more out there like you♥️
Indeed! 💯💙🙏
The only downside to having a pet rat is that their lives are so short. Anyone who has had a rat will tell you that they are so capable of love and so extremely intelligent. It's sad that an animal with so much intelligence and big personalities do not have longer lives! I still have a rat shaped hole in my heart from losing my rat Lydia years later. She had such an impact on me.
so treu , one of the smartest animals there is
"Rat-shaped hole in my heart". LOL
So true ♥️
Cute, and sad that this lovely rat died. Cows, chicken, turkeys, goats and many more "farm" animals are also sentient, intelligent and have personality. They also have a much longer lifespan (up to 20-30 years), but humans kill them already in their juvenile or young adult phase before they reach the age of 2-3.
My pet rat will always live on in my heart as well. I miss that little critter. He was such a good rodent.
I didn't even realize his paws were missing until she mentioned it...I was too busy looking at his adorable, chubby face.
same here!
He was a cheeky looking boy
Me too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭
Beautiful face so cute!
sameee
This made me cry. I love this woman so much for what she did to help him, and to give him some bliss and love. You could tell how happy he truly was all because of her.
God bless anyone who saves any creatures (big and small) and has a huge heart! Great example of a kind and loving human being with a said huge heart! 🖤🐀🖤🐈⬛🖤🦇🖤🕷️🖤
I wish people wouldn’t think that releasing a domestic animal is a good thing. They don’t find survival easy.
I agree. Ice Cube looks like a Dumbo rat, which is a heavily domesticated breed. They are sweet and mellow and would not be able to survive in the wild. Humans seem to think we can just domesticate any animal, but when we get bored of them, we think we can just throw them out again. Maybe that’s the case for snakes, which is why we have such a huge problem with invasive snakes in Florida.
They don't think it's a good thing. They just don't want to be bothered anymore.
@@carolg6598 I didn't notice that, but you're probably right. A non-dumbo is much more likely to re-adapt without an owner, not saying that's "good" by any measure.
I found a domesticated rat sniffing around my garage door and was able to return it to a distraught owner. So sometimes I think they can get away rather than thrown away.
@@carolg6598 I've heard about the rock boa and the... another kind of boa, can't think of it, crossing and having the rock boas very aggressive nature and the other boas extreme size creating an especially troublesome invasive snake. I like snakes and would probably have a room full if I lived in Florida lol.
My pet rat, Splinter, lived on our couch. He was a rescue, and lived to 5 years old. Sweet sweet boy.
@Mama Pink
Do they use a litter box like a cat? Do you have to "potty" train them?
@@ahashdahnagila6884 sort of not really though. Pet rats do have a preferred potty spot,but you cant train for that. Our couch was old and gross anyways, so he was happy on his giant rats nest. There is a channel I subscribe to, I can't remember the name, but this girl trains her rats in the cutest way, and can get them to do anything. She's really good with them.
Hey just wanted to say good going!
I had a Shizu who lived to be 23 myself, Never underestimate just how far a little love can go!
5 you say, thats pretty great for that age. I know they live at least am average of 4 years, but you proved me wrong. They are awesome pets and just are too smart for us humans.
@@Bakanineinstein We had a cat live to 24!
I'm so sorry Ice Cube passed away. You gave him such a wonderful life and it was obvious the love you felt for him. Respect to you for caring in this way...💖😪
I'm so moved by this random act of LOVE! What you did for Ice Cube has garnered you huge respect from us animal lovers. He was so damn cute and sweet. Those massages you gave him even I felt them because you handled him so tenderly. I too have taken in a rodent. My 18 year old cat brought me a baby mouse she caught one day and I didn't know what to do, it was just a baby. I decided to keep him in a tank in case my cat cause him any harm so he can heal. The day I decided to set him free I just couldn't do It. The odds were against him from glue traps, mice traps, poison and the cold winter. He had no friends but me. Squeaks has brought me great joy and I thank my cat constantly for this wonderful gift. Who keeps a caught house mouse as a pet....Guilty as charged. I love him just as much as you loved Ice Cube. Squeaks will live out his life eating all kinds of goodies with fresh water a clean home and lots of love and affection. Thank you for saving Ice Cube...GOOD KARMA coming your way.
Field mouse, and later a vole!! I intended to release them in the following spring but we moved before then, so I gave them to someone who chose to keep them 😁 I miss those girls and my two rats it had as a teenager
As a rat owner this simultaneously broke and warmed my heart. Broken because he was abandoned and sustained horrible injuries, but her compassion and love gave him another chance.
I’ve had two female rats and now 3 male babies and I feel that 100%. I sobbed the second I noticed his feet because I’ve never seen a rat amputee and I couldn’t imagine what it’s like for him 😭😭🥺
Hi, how do you handle the problem of lice, ticks, and fleas on rats?
His stumps were so cute!
Imagine you're starving and freezing in the streets when, suddenly, a hyper-intelligent giant just takes you in and pampers you and cares for you the rest of your life. We should all be jealous of Ice Cube.
Animals are not conscious.
@@DieEineMieze WRONG
@@payableondeath9091 Your opinion is irrelevant when we are talking about facts.
@@DieEineMieze don't worry in the next life you will be a dung beetle🤣
@@payableondeath9091 very mature, next time just say you are a kid. oh, and liking your own comment is pretty embarrassing
I am so sorry for her loss. Take comfort in the fact that she saved him and gave him happiness in the rest of his life.
As a rat owner, who also happens to have an abandoned boy in the mix, I’m so terribly sorry for you loss, but also so grateful that you two had each other! I ask myself daily how someone could have abandoned Rathew, he’s such a ball of love, but their foolish loss was our immense gain in the end.
I just saw in the comments that he passed away, so I just wanted to say to this kind-hearted woman, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm so glad that there are such wonderful, loving people in this world such as yourself. It's obvious you gave him such a good life before it was his time to go. It's hard losing the ones we love and it seems unfair that we outlive our animal counterparts, but I can tell he was a very happy rat because of you and that may seem small to some, but I know it meant the world to him. You're an inspiration ❤
Rats have a very short lifespan. They are wonderful pets. So sad.💔💔
@@o.b.6103 They only live around 2 years.

My dad had a pet rat when he was a child too, and he took it to school in his pocket. He was a very nervous kid (with scarlet fever and St. Vitis dance as a kid, sick for 2 years, and it affected his nervous system), the teacher's took a blind eye and let him have his comfort animal.
Wow, kudos for his loving teachers. I'm also a teacher and would do the same thing for any of my students.
Awwww
yo this made me cry. so so sweet
@Ken Enee ok "ken enee" what kinda name is that
@Ken Enee you are more disgusting
Just the fact that this lady took him in and gave him a place to feel secure but most of all, he felt love is a wonderful thing! God Bless him but,most of all,God Bless her for being a kind human being! Like Ive always said.. ALL ANIMALS DESERVE LOVE & KINDNESS!
No matter what Ice Cube went through before he met you, his life from that moment on was heavenly. Thank you for being such a kind, loving person.
Rats are amazing animals. I rescued a street rat in Bronx NYC. The babies mom was probably killed by the bait (use birthcontrol or clean up food left out people). He was likely a orphan, tiny baby was kicked by a fruit vendor on the street. He is now a year old, videos on my page of the sweet fella,
@@BirdmanVeganFuture I love rats.. I'm going to your channel and watch your videos on your rats.
Thank you
Blessings
✨🙏🐀🙏🙏
@@stevenavarette9334 thank you, RATS love u
This rat unfortunately passed away recently. He was so incredibly loved by everyone. Rest in Peace sweet boy
I'm sure he lived a grand and happy rest of his life after this sweet lady adopted him. Rest In Peace indeed big guy...
That breaks my heart to hear that, what an amazing rat he was!
He gave and received loads of love. God Bless Ice Cube. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s the main thing. He had a great remaining time that he wouldn’t have had if he hadn’t been picked up.
Awwwww this is so sad! I was about to comment how cute and adorable he is :-(
If you have ever been blessed enough to share love with a rat they will remain forever in your heart ❤️
What a wonderful lady to have rescued this beautiful boy and given him such a loving home.
I'm sorry for your loss. He was lucky to have such a caring family. The way y'all found each other,the love and care y'all gave him. He knew he was loved. Everyone who see this, feels the love y'all shared. I do.
Sorry for your loss memories live forever 🙏
🙏❤
😆
I had the honor of meeting Ice Cube at the vet clinic a few times and got to hold him and pet him. He was truly one of the sweetest souls I've met. ❤🌺
He's so adorable. Im sad to hear he passed away but he was so fortunate to have found such a loving owner. You can tell he was very loved and my goodness he's so cute!!!!! I love she's spreading the message that rats indeed do deserve love and respect. Theyre very smart animals ❤❤❤❤❤
Très triste de l'apprendre, il aura vécu heureux avec vous 😔
i always had gerbils and ppl think tailed rodents are gross but i love them. id like to get a rat cuz gerbils are too fast and wild . easier to tame a rat
I am glad the owner of this loving rat aims to dispel the myth that rats can't be loving pets. I grew up with a girl who had several rats as pets and they were so cute and loving. I'm sorry to know she lost her beloved pet. My condolences. You gave him such a good life because of your love.
@@Manuel-zo3wg you can tame just about anything if you get it young enough! Or you get a domestic rat( like the woman in video) and tame it to live with you and teach him/ her little tricks. It's quite possible and easy enough
@@janeE011
Pet rats differ from wild rats in a few ways.
Rat breeding is not even 200 years old, arose from the interest of pied catchers to learn more about their "prey".
Over the years, those that were less aggressive/shy towards humans were chosen for breeding, leading to the pet rat.
Unlike wild rats, pet rats are extremely tame, even in the absence of human contact.
Likewise, they are no longer afraid of light, and are also very active during the day.
Basically, any species can be domesticated.
It only depends on the will and the necessary time, since domestication takes place via reproductive selection (animals with particularly favorable behavior are deliberately crossed with each other, this takes time, since this process takes place over many generations).
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this sweet baby. He was truly blessed to be given a second chance at life.
He was very well taken care of. I loved reading his story. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. He was truly a sweet little soul.. bless you for the love and kindness you showed him. The Love of an animal is a truly amazing thing and a gift from Jehovah God. You were blessed to have one of those precious gifts..💜🌺✌️
I love rats so much. We had six. They are such beautiful, intelligent, social animals. The worst part, is that they don't live very long, and it's heartbreaking every time they pass. That's why we stopped adopting more. But, I miss having them in my life so much. Love, love, love them!
Me too.
Thats too short for me theyre too precious its like a bright light that burns too fast
@Ragu inacan wow interesting i never thought of why..my heart just cant take it i get too attached to the little guys
@Ragu inacan awww im sorry for your loss... sometimes they seem to come back like my cats kinda act like cats ive had before
My cousin has had about the same amount as you.. and it’s painful to watch her go through the same heartbreak every time ☹️
His poor little feets! He's so beautiful and gentle
Glue-trap. A horrible cruel human invention for trapping rodents ! BRAVO !
@@zoebidule3397 They are horrible but it was frostbite not a trap that caused it.
We started last year with 10 rats and ended it with 3. Every loss breaks my heart. But i hope they have lived their best lives here and knew how deeply they are loved 🧡
Rats are highly intelligent, as Ice Cube was. It's sad ...and sorry for its caring owner for her loss.
He seems so sweet why would someone abandon him outside? That is awful. He is so lucky someone sweet rescued him!
I have 3 boys whom I adopted that were taped up in a box and left outside.
@RATHALOS well pet rats are intentionally bred, of course u have the accidentals, but I've had rats for over 20yrs and I can tell u the make the BEST pets (I've had more types of pets than I care to list), comparable to tiny lil doggies. I love my rats and they love me right back. Btw, having rats in the home keeps the real (wild) pests away, haven't had any rodents coming up in here since they've been around😉. Also, most people like u have a complete change of heart after spending just a lil time around a pet rat, many of them commenting in this videos thread alone.
@RATHALOS literally all animals poop
@YutubeSucksVersion2 so true!!
they were ignorant more than mean, but you're right.
I had a rat named Spot, she was the most loyal pet I've ever had. She died 20 years ago and I still miss her. We did everything together. Even after she died I swear she haunted my room, I could hear her sneeze and things would fall over in the middle of the night. That went on for about a year then everything went quite, she finally moved on. My sweet angel rest in peace 🕊️
Those were some lively dreams, damn. I’m sorry she’s gone, I know how heartbroken it can make you feel to lose an animal/friend.
I am sorry for her. Rats are wonderful pets!
bless you 💖
What a sweet story💗
Rats are wicked pets I never locked the cage it's was just somewhere to sleep for her.
had to have her put down as she done her back in and lost
Movement to her back legs she had freedom all time I miss her 💘 gone but not forgotten x
Sorry to hear of his passing. Clearly you gave him a taste of a life that a lot of his brothers and sisters will never know.
Thank you for rescuing this little guy. And thank you for spreading the message that rats have such sweet souls and deserve the best treatment from all humans.
It's so heartbreaking seeing his little arms and legs with no fingers and toes. Thank you for having a big heart and loving him.
She gave him the best possible time of his short life. She took care of him. protected him and above all she loved him in a way that can't be measure. It must be hard loosing him, all of us who have loved and lost a pet know how painful it is
He’s not dead
@@aterryadg I hate to break it to you but he sadly did pass away...
dreamadept ok.
Ugh, rat lives I learned the hard way can be really short! A few years ago, ours started acting not right one day, the vet diagnosed him with congestive heart failure and said he probably had weeks to live, he ended up dying on the way to the vet ED that night to put him down when his breathing got really labored :'( I think we're still too traumatized by the whole ordeal to try to have another pet rat anytime soon.
Katherine Lou that’s so sad
What a lucky animal to have had not only a human save him but provide vet care and tons of love!
You are a true hero for rescuing ice cube. You can be proud. You gave him love for the short time you had him

@Ken Enee Unfortunately the poor rat died when a friend of my grandfather accidentally sat on it :-( He was so upset.
@@PlanetaryCitizen Yeah and that's why you might not want to carry around small animals. It's probably also very stressful, besides the being sat to death part that happens sooner or later

Rats are so darn cute. I just absolutely love them so much. Poor baby. How could anyone abandon a beautiful creature like that 😭
All animals deserve respect and empathy.they have feelings too.
That is so true. They're also psychic, many of them. They are also capable of altruism. But whatever they are, they have the right to be here too. Once we were more a part of the animal kingdom. Then we separated, advanced, and became the enemy of all animals, unless we favor them and take them home.

Science discovered rats giggling w/joy when playing w/their mates. We have to stop torturing animals in the labs, everywhere!
P. S. Science itself has proven using animal models doesn't work as it should 🙄. Test on F'n animal torturing psychopaths 😡 instead.
@@Time_to_Stop_Animal_Abuse animals were constantly tortured in labs in the 1950s, but these days it is incredibly difficult to get approval for animal tests. Animals are not used frivolously, and they have to be treated as well as possible.
@@Call-me-Al - I'm sorry, but that sounds too naive. Provogil (stimulant) recently water tortured cats (who y'all know sleep up to 16 hrs) forcing them to remain awake for 30 days 😔, so they won't fall into the water - they did...
And then there r billions of factory animals... sigh. It'll take another thousand yrs for humans to become "civilized"
That picture with his pea!
so sorry for your loss….rats are an animal that is so misunderstood….they are SO intelligent…my son had a hooded rat all thru high school….her name was Daphne….she was just a sweet animal…. thank you for saving him❤️❤️❤️❤️
You made his life so special. You were meant to have special time together. Yes, rats are very intelligent. Thank you! You are a very special anointed person. Beautiful story!
The only bad thing about rats is their very short life spans. D:
Agreed. Biggest reason why I stopped having them as pets......don't want to deal with the frequent heartbreak.
I agree, they are so adorable, the heartbreak of losing them it's too much for me, I get attached very easily, 😥😥
Absolutely
My son had the hardest time when his rat died. He was 8 and specifically asked me to get him another pet that lived longer.
ooooo... all pets are heartaches on 2 or 4 or no legs... I have a jumping spider that has 8 legs and I know their life span isn't that long either... My oldest Shih Tzu is on the path to breaking my heart... I just try and give them all the love I can.
Pet rats are extremely loving animals. It's horrible if someone did that to him. I kinda hope he just got loose and wandered outside on his own. Would be strange behavior for a tame rat but preferable to someone having discarded a sweetheart like that.
And we try to kill them all. They are also a souls .
I know from experience that when pet rodents wander off they can easily get lost. So it's possible... although neither possibility would surprise me.
I used to have a ferret and he got out the front door somehow one day. thankfully there were some people walking by and they brought him home and asked if he belonged to us. It was very nice of them to do that instead of assuming he was abandoned and taking him home. They could have easily done that and I never would have known what happened to him. I'd like to think the rat's owners just had something like that happen, instead of thinking someone with such a sweet pet would leave them outside in the cold like that. :\
Well, there’s many cruel humans out there… but I hope that you’re right
Thank you for saving this baby! You gave him the best life he could’ve possibly had! I’m sorry to hear he passed. His spirit is always with you.
When you are ready there are so many rats waiting for a good loving home❤
RIP Ice Cube, and to Ice Cube's mom I'd like to say I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to rescue more fur babies like him in the future ❤️
"he likes cuddles, and lives for food"

I know this lady isn't going to see my comment, but bless her soul and heart forever for helping little Ice Cube live a long comfortable life after his rough beginning. Rats have a relatively short lifespan so the fact that he got to spend over an entire year in this woman's care means he got a beautiful big chunk of his existence being spoiled and loved like he deserved. I hope she knows how many of us appreciate her caring for this beautiful boy and how much IceCube loved her. I love seeing him do the buggy thing with his eyes 🥰🥰🥰 such a happy boy🥺 may he rest in peace forever now.
Thank you so much for recognizing and rescuing such a valuable little precious life🥰🥰🥰🥰

@@theprofessor1484 Hopefully.....there is hope for us. Still, too many folks give themselves reason to have little or no respect and sympathy for another, esp when the other is different. They even do it to other humans, telling themselves that their own personal beliefs are 100% logical (they cannot tell the difference between the two?) and that anyone who is different doesn't have intelligence or even let alone an emotionally conscious perspective.
I've been growing tired of human stupidity. It has been making me cranky....lol...

I rescued a very young wild rat and found him a refuge in the woods where he was able of foraging his own food, but as I held him he turned his little body around and attempted to bite my hand. Luckily, his teeth were not sharp enough to piece my skin.
He did not know he was precious until she loved him. Oh La! Now he ENJOYS his precious self!
Anyone who leaves a domestic animal, out in the cold, to die, is truely a monster. At the very least, drop them off at an animal shelter!
"domestic" animal? No living thing deserves to be mistreated, whether they're domestic or not.
@@mb1496 Wild animals know how to survive winter if they're healthy.
@@samara.morgan That is very true. But I know people who seem to think it's okay for an animal to suffer if it's not domestic. In no way am I saying that the OP is like that. But I'm saying that there are people who think it's okay to lay out sticky glue traps for mice and rats without a second thought to the horrendous agony they are putting that animal through. Or that snare traps or claw traps for wild animals is okay and that their suffering doesn't matter.
@Esther P "is dead if you catch it'? So I take it you don't usually date
@@samara.morgan many wild animals die in winter, even if they’re healthy.
What a lovely story!!! Saw it several times....sending love to this amazing woman!
So sad, so adorable and heartbreaking. Rest in paradise Lil ice cube ❤️ sending you love and warm hugs dear hoooman who saved this little guy and giving him the best life at the end ❤️❤️❤️
Everyone deserves to have a happy life. Thanks for saving this baby.
One day I was outside taking photos in a railway yard, when suddenly I saw a rat playing with a crow, which I thought was interesting. Then, the rat ran towards me and up my leg. I was shocked, but I knew then that it was domesticated. I advertised everywhere looking for his owner. Nobody came forward. I was able to keep him for two weeks before I left on vacation. "Nosey" was so cute and loving. He loved sitting on my shoulder and chattering in my ear. I wasn't allowed pets in my building so I ended up having to give him to the SPCA. I'm glad I was the one who found him. I miss him! 🐀
You did good helping Icecube.
I’m super proud of you. Your act of kindness speaks volumes of your soul. You will see each other again one day. You took excellent care of one of God’s fur babies and you will be rewarded with more than the love you showed.
So happy for Ice Cube...and you are such a beautiful soul to save him. Wishing you both many blessings! 🙏💕
My God he is so darn cute. That was horrible what happened to him losing all those appendages. Some people can be cruel. Then again we have people like this wonderful lady that has given this little guy so much love and safety. This really makes my heart all fuzzy inside, my wife's chopping these damn onions making my eye's all watery.
Haha, my mother seems to only chop those damn onions when i watch these types of videos I tell ya...😂
Because it is definitely the onions doing this to us..we would never tear up otherwise.. baha
😂🤣😭
Oh, guys!
Those bloody onions get the best of us.
The best and worst in humans... although at least he wasn’t poisoned and left to suffer and die like many rats unfortunately are.
My eyes water too, as part of the fairy-tale onion-chopping process!
Thank you for reminding the world that EVERY animal & creature is precious and deserves respect.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. You showed him love and how important he was and you valued him. Bless you for loving him!! And it’s so important you go on to love others in his memory!!
Thank you for taking care of this lovely little soul. Stories like this give me hope for the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for rescuing him. You’re right, they deserve a lot more respect! My first pet rat was supposed to be snake food. Ever since I fell in love with ratties.
Rats are intelligent and adorable.
Sadly, it appears Ice Cube is no longer with us.
All 6 of mine were too lol hubby gets so mad when I take his snake's food away. After a few days he knows there's no point in trying to get it back tho 😂
I had a hamster unofortunaley a train hit him and my hamster got died so hard that he ended up dying i keep cryoing because of that every tiem i sleep i see my hamster gettings hit by train and i cry 😓😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@_HimToo You are an evil person for taking another animal's food.
They deserve so much more respect. Bawling my eyes out. What a good person you are.
Me too
Thank you for sharing Ice Cube with us. He was a wonderful ambassador for the Rat community. I was lucky enough to have a little guy named Jordan who also passed away. He was so sweet and loving. Not to mention smart. My condolences on your loss.❤🐀❤
It's so heart warming to know that little Ice Cube got to enjoy some time in a loving, warm home being cared for in such a way. That's wonderful.
He was so lucky to meet his humom. He's absolutely adorable 🤗💖
Humom that’s cute TFS
So true!
I’m sorry you lost this sweet baby. You are an amazing person You gave him a lot of love and made his life a lot better. He was adorable ❤ rip ice cube.
It’s sad they’re so human like personalities and such a short lifespan 😞
it's nice to meet you and thanks a LOT for caring SO MUCH
@@bullshitstomper9417 theyre better than humans personalitywise. It’s horrific that they don’t have more time.
Thank you for showing love and kindness to this sweet innocent little victim. 🐾❤️🩹💕
What a lovely little fellow he was , he was loved and you gave him a good life ❤
Hate how rats are stereotyped and seen. Need more videos like this.
Ice cube is so so cute. He is lucky to have such a kind and caring friend.
Thank you for rescuing Ice Cube. You gave him a wonderful life. I've had rats as pets and they are intelligent and loving. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for sharing. I'm very very sorry he passed ❤
The kind Lady ,gave him a life that most stray animals would love to have.
Look at this sweet boy just living his best live, boggling like a champ. He doesn't even care about having lost his paws, he's just happy and grateful. Rats are wonderful, it's incredible how much love they have in their tiny little hearts.
I had a outdoor pet rat. I named him ratty boy, he had a deformed tail. He waited for me to feed him every night at my bird feeder. He allowed me to pet him. I had him for 2 years. One day, he never came back 😪. All living creatures deserve a chance to be cared for and fed. I leave large bowls of water outside for the animals. I throw out all leftovers for possums and raccoons. In the morning, all food is gone. Please be kind 🙂🤗😇
Another angel , thanks for looking out for all of God's creatures.
I 2 feed all the wild animals were I live birds,,foxes,,stray cats,,hedgehog anything they all deserve a chance
@@seekingserenity1902 thank you for taking your time to leave me positive post 🙂🤗🙂
@@lynnault1814 Me too Lynn...God Bless You! You're My Hero 😀😇🤗🙏
Sending love and thank you for giving him such a beautiful experience and unconditional love and compassion. ❤
Heartfelt hugs to you my dear. You gave Ice Cube a life filled with joy, comfort, love. With love comes, grief, but all worth it. Lots of love, Irene
the sound he makes is not the hiccups, that means he is very happy
Happy hiccups
It’s called bruxing which means happiness or sometimes stress. Their eyeballs jiggle and pop in out - due to teeth grinding and it’s adorable. 🥰
Yes, they chirp like that when they are happy. If you tickle their bellies they chirp too.
My younger daughter wanted a pet rat for years and I was always like ‘ugh, no gross’. Then last august I caved and we got Sirius. He is the literal BEST. We all love him so much, he’s so smart, sweet and cuddly. He completely changed my views on rats and I’m so glad we got him and I can’t imagine our house without a pet rat now! Ice Cube looks so good for what he went through, I’m glad he has someone to love him! What a sweetheart 💕
LOL, my mom was the same way with all my rodents. She would reluctantly allow them (she grew up without pets, didn't want her children going through the same thing), but never touched them or anything. Well, my smart trained rat Pogo would go downstairs, climb the cabinets, and get into the Cheerios. Guess who was in the box when my mom went for a bowl? LOL, she SCREAMED bloody murder and out came Pogo just as cute as cute could be with Cheerio dust all over her, and my mom just laughed. She didn't know rats could be so sweet and naughty at the same time.
Does he have a buddy?
It would be great if you get him another rat as a buddy to make his life complete! :)
I went through something similar. I was saving up for pet gerbils and was calling pet stores to see where the closest place they were being sold at was. The one place I called, the guy said, "Well, we don't have any gerbils. But we have rats!" And I felt a certain way about rats, pretty similar to your views actually, lol. I told my mom and she said, "Maybe you should get rats instead?" But... still, lol. I didn't want rats.
Well, we visited the pet store to get some supplies. The rats were in the cage, and the shop keeper let me hold one... I was so endeared, we took two of them home the same day. I've had them for a week and a half, and even though they are still adjusting and have had a few mishaps here and there, I love them. They really changed my perspective on the species. They're already so friendly and curious, I can't wait until they become more confident with their surroundings. They are simply the cutest.
The fact that you named him Sirius, of ALL names for rats 🤣
Thank you for rescuing this little animal. Your love made all the difference. You gave him a good life. 💐 🐿
Ice cube lived a wonderful life with you,full of love. God bless you for rescuing him.
