      Rats are the best, they may live short lives(generally 2yrs, but can live to 4yrs) but, they are extremely intelligent, sensitive animals. When you form a bond with a rat, it's for life and they will be sure to show you every day how much they love you :)

    "How come these are different from sewer rats" Pet rats are extremely clean (cleaner than cats!), they are super friendly and incredibly intelligent. It's like comparing a crow you see on the street to a pet bird. They're just not the same.

    • @peepslostsheep
      @peepslostsheep 6 років тому +159

      Sewer rats are also incredibly intelligent, and would be friendly if interacted with from a young age like pet rats are. Pet rats aren't instinctively friendly. Few things are. They're even the same species. The only difference between a sewer rat and a pet rat is their upbringing. Sewer rats are dirty because of where they live, pet rats are clean because of where they live. A pet rat kept in squalid conditions would be filthy too.
      Crows you see on the street are also incredibly intelligent. Corvids in general are pretty amazing.

      well, even sewer rats try to be clean. They aren't as clean, cause they live in a dirty place, but they try to be. Its a survival tactic. I mean, which would be easier for cats to smell: a smelly, dirty rat, or a clean, tidy rat?

    I don't understand why people are so scared of rats. Literally, what's so bad about hairless tails? And rats are actually very smart. I taught my rats lots of tricks, like spin and jump, hoop jump, weave, etc. Pet rats don't carry diseases and they keep themselves very clean. Plus, they're just plain adorable. I really like playing with several rats at a time too. I can get why those people shuddered when the rats got on their necks though. I do it too, not because I'm afraid but because it tickles.

    • @rizenvi

    rats are like tiny dogs. like if you took the spirit of golden retrievers and labs and corgies and put them in tiny teeny furry baby form. my older girl, momo, used to be small enough to be encased in my hands- now, she likes to jam her face in my fist and relax the rest of her body out like a rug for pets.

    People thinking of getting pet rats: make sure you take care of them properly, please! My relatives didn't and their rat died prematurely. Get them in pairs or they get lonely & depressed; don't feed them human food (don't even start, because then they start preferring it) and make sure they're eating their rat pellets and always have access to fresh water; handle them with gentleness and care and like with any pet make sure not to scare them or make them hostile by being hesitant or reacting negatively when you touch them. Keep them away from wires because they will chew them. Clean their cages regularly and put in fresh dressings, whatever you're using. They can sit on your shoulder and will be happy to do so if you can handle them successfully and they feel comfortable with you, but that relationship takes time to build. They're cautious, intelligent animals; they're not toys. It's a big responsibility so make sure you're ready to take it on.

      Actually it's best to have at least a pack of three rats, so that if two don't get along as well or had a fight, they can still have the other as a friend until the situation calms down. It's also very important to have a big cage- rats need a lot of room. There are some guides online on how to turn a closet into a rat cage. Also, their lungs are very sensitive!!! So the bedding you use shouldn't produce dust or fuzz they could choke on. Best is fleece or similar. Their cage couldn't be too close to a window because if it's drafty they can get sick and even if their cage is big, they should be taken out in a rat-proof space in your home (not outside! they can get hurt or sick!) so they can run around and stuff for at least an hour a day.

      Usually once they realize how nervous some rats are around big new scary people the instinct of "Oh small thing I must protect it" kicks in.

      Rats come with many personalities so sometimes there are rats that aren't super social. But most of the time they're very social creatures. And I wouldn't say they're difficult to take care of. Just make sure to get 2 rats since rats often need a rat friend. And making sure they have plenty of room in their cage with toys. Maybe a hammock so they can chill out on it. Some stuff in the cage that they can hide in if they want.

    Awe rats are so misunderstood sometimes. I’ve had a lot of pets over the years but my 3 rats are really interactive. They love to play, snack, and snuggle. I also think it’s cute how they like to sit in your pocket or on your shoulder 😆

    Rats are the sweetest animals I have ever known. Rats are honestly the most wonderful pets to have and they love their owners so much.
    Not too long ago I lost one of my gerbils to an unknown condition and I was extremely distraught over it, but my two rats literally looked upset because I was crying and they were by the door of their cage wanting to come out, when I opened their cage they both came out and onto my shoulders and just cuddled with me for ages. One of my rats are usually energetic and the other one is more shy but both of them were calm and really looked after me.
    If I didn’t have my rats I probably wouldn’t be here today. I love rats so much 💖

    I love rats! They are so sweet and smart. They're as easily potty-trainable as cats and can learn as many tricks as dogs. I do understand that some people do have an uncontrollable fear response to rats, given that our ancestors were trained to associate them with disease and such, and it's still a terrible idea to interact with wild rats. But a domesticated, well groomed, well socialized rat is a delightful creature to play with.
