Pros and Cons of Fancy Rats as Pets - Audio version
Рет қаралды 2,107,168
Күн бұрынThis is a video discussing the Pros and Cons of having fancy rats as pets. This video is an updated version of my old Pro's and Con's video, which was totally read-based.
People have asked for an audio version, so, well, I tried!
Note: The aquarium and hamster cage seen in this video are only used during play time, the rats regular cage is much larger (depicted near the end of the video).

I think that rats are probably the most underrated pets out there. I have owned 3 of them, my first little guy, Mojo lived up to 3,5 years before moving on. I was devastated. Then one day, going through a small local pet store we had in town I saw a small, glass terrarium which had two dead youngsters and 2 live ones in them (dont worry, that store closed the year after) and told the cashier working there: "Ey, did you notice that only 2 out of 4 are alive in there?" When I said that, she shrugged and coldly replied: "They are gonna be snakefood anyways, who cares?" So, despite having found out I am allergic to them since the first one, I took them home. Took care of those two for all of 3 years. Still the best goddamn decision I ever made. Even if it was painful for me.

I've had many rats through put my life time. I'm only 29 and I've owned 16 or more rats so far :) My oldest one was special (not saying they all haven't been), both her parents lived till about 4, and she lived till past 6. I know it's hard to believe. But it's 100% true, I'm looking at the plant pot that I buried her in right now. She did more for my life than she will ever realise until I join her over the rainbow bridge. Rats have straight up been my saviours, I don't know if I'd still be here and alive without the amazing ratties I've had the honour of looking after :)

I remember my pet rat Blondie lived to around 5 years old. She was a real learning experience, mostly positive. But you are right, they don't live a long life, and no matter what you do, they are still going to smell. She was funny, playful and loved me so so much! It was a real positive experience having Blondie. She wanted everything for her nest, that nest fluffing and adding "stuff" was very important to her. She was always after the sheer curtain blowing in the wind when the window was open. One time she got it and had it in her mouth while she climbed the 3 story cage to bring it down to her nest. I noticed her and said "drop it!" and she did! lol! That look on her face? "RATS!"

The Australian Army has a jungle training area near a small town town called Tully in the northern part of the state of Queensland. The rats there all knew how to open backpacks and find our combat ration packs. Even hoisting your gear up a tree didn't work. We would have to sleep on our gear or keep our rations in their metal shipping boxes. They were fun to watch at night through night vision gear. They would run around, wrestle play and even...you know...hump as well. LOL

@No One i don't know you obviously. but after reading that i think its important to say that relationships between pets and humans are very different from human to human. almost non comparable. because a pet usually will love you unconditionally other than a fellow human with his own believes and ideologies. but i would also say that a relationship with a pet can never be as intimate as with another human. and it just takes a lot of time to find a human that you can talk to like you can talk to your pets. not in the sense of talking down, but trusting them just as much as you would your dog as example because your dog wont snitch on you or tell your secrets to other people. I'd just say you haven't found the right person yet. because i know what you mean. i grew up with a dog and he grew up with me in a sense. always there for me, never tired of listening to me or provide cuddles. and i also had him dying in my arms. or more like with his paw in my hands. i know your pain and i know what you mean. but since then i did find another person i feel like i can trust just as much, and only time will tell if i am right

I know most people say that their pets are clever. I've heard loads of people saying that about cats but it simply isn't true. Rats however, really are intelligent. Rats are capable of metacognition, which means they are able to think about their state of knowledge, something neither cats nor dogs can do. Indeed all the other animals that I know are capable of metacognition are the obviously very clever ones like dolphins, apes, people and elephants. I'm not suggesting that rats are as intelligent as apes but metacognition is rare. Just so you know this is not the usual KZfaq nonsense, here is a link to a scholarly article on the subject www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1861845/. Rats are great.

Here's some important information about the lung disease in rats that was mentioned in the video. It is called mycoplasma and is endemic in the rat population. It is not always expressed, but it is horrible when it is. It starts with heavy breathing, then shortness in breath. This is then accompanied by a clicking noise when drawing a breath. The hair starts standing and in general, the coat doesn't look great. As the end comes near, the poor rat loses appetite, gets very thin, and then his/her whiskers stop their constant movement. Then death comes due to suffocation. DON'T LET THE POOR BABY GET TO THAT STAGE!!!! Put the rat to sleep before that. But there is a solution! After I had an autopsy done on my rat, I was told that it was called mycoplasma and that Tylosin (a type of antibiotic) would take care of it. Since then, I have not had even one rat die of mycoplasma! The Tylosin stops the disease almost immediately and definitely completely. It comes in tiny granules and I put just a few of the granules in the rat's water bottle for a month. And voila!!!! An important point: Since mycoplasma is found in the general population of rats, whenever I get a new rat, I automatically put the Tylosin in the water for all of my rats (I usually have 3 at any given time) for the first month. Just in case......and this approach has really proven itself. Nothing hurts more than watching your baby not able to draw a breath and then die in such a horrible way. Good luck, everyone, with your cute little babies!

I've always get depressed for a bit when I think back at my first experience with tumors. I was like 12, I had 2 male rats whom I loved so much, rats are so fucking cute and loving... And I had to watch them die from huge tumors that crippled them, as my father didn't want to pay them to be put down. And obviously at age 12 I didn't have that kind of money. Now that I have a stable life and income, I'm considering it again.. but unsure if I want to risk putting myself in that sort of stressful situation. Maybe I'll just admire them from afar, via youtube lol.

Make darn sure it was hand raised to accept humans as part of the family or? You get a defensive rat that's just looking for ways to make you bleed and I will admit... they are REALLY GOOD at making you bleed! They got really long teeth that are great at really taking a chunk out of you.

One thing that wasn’t quite mentioned in the death section was the ‘new rat cycle’. I had three pairs of rats, and as one passes, it’s cage mate will get lonely and depressed, and you have to get another rat to keep it company. And then, the first generation rat dies, and the added rat gets lonely, pushing you to purchase another cage mate for them. This lasted until I got stormy, a dumbo rat that seemed to entertain herself independently, and I had plenty time at home to give her that pack love (we did everything together). Just remember, buying two rats may be a commitment to more.

Hey just saw your comment. Please never keep rats alone! They need company!! They may seem fine but a human can never ever replance the company of another rat!! Also: they live in packs not pairs, so you need 3 at least! And when you have more rats they always have company when one dies :)

My sweet boys died while a friend was watching them from a respiratory issue. Both in under 24 hours and before he could get them to the vet (after hours when he found them having issues after seeming on the day before). I might have caught it earlier if I was home, but they were getting lots of kale (their favorite) and digging tunnels in their bioactive dog box, so they were very happy right before. Highly recommend a bioactive set up. Cuts down on the odor to almost nothing, and reduces bedding costs.

Sort of. I used to keep rats and in their personal habits, they are indeed clean. However, my dog wees and poos outside, which my rats clearly didn't. My house definitely smells better now that I have a dog rather than rats. This obviously isn't the rats' fault but there are consequences of having a cage in the house. That said, the reputation that rats often have of being dirty animals is wholly undeserved and I loved having them as pets. Their only real drawback was that they don't live anywhere near long enough. My dog is 9 and seems healthy. I think I can reasonably hope she will live to 15. Sadly, the same cannot be said for rats.

I wish rats were like naked mole rats - despite being rat sized those rodents live about 28 years (crazy for anything that small!) and seem immune to cancer (there are experiments that try to give them cancer and they are incredibly resistant). If we only knew why they lived so long and without terrible issues like cancer (which fancy rats are incredibly prone to) then maybe we could have longer living rats. But for now we have to rely on selective breeders - just by selectively breeding longer living and more healthy rats many breeders have a 4 year (or longer!) average lifespan for their rats (twice a pet store ate normal lifespan) and many never develop cancer or other age related issues (which again pet store and feeder rats tend to be prone to).

Thank you for this video. I'm super scared of rats (as well as most of rodents), however this video helped me to look at them with respect and a hint of sympathy and to frame my fobia as my problem rather than rats' problem 🙂 Who knows, maybe one day I will be able to come closer to them...

I was heart broken when my fancy mouse died. They really do go too soon. Gus Gus was my little man. I grew from those 11 months I had him. Coming home to him was the highlight of my day every day. If you have a pet, spend that extra second saying hi or checking in on them. They need your attention too. They feel emotions too.

Another con : stealing. When my rat died and I cleared out the "lair" she made inside my bedspring I recovered all sorts of items I thought I had lost, like my car insurance, cigarettes, etc... Awesome pet though, really loved her.
