I wasn't sure about getting pet rats at first, but now I can't imagine life without them. They are the most fun and loving pets I've ever owned. Give these little guys a chance if you can.

The only problem is that their lives are so short. Its hard enough that our cats and dogs only live 10-15 years on average. Can't imagine having to say goodby in only 2-3 years.

Yeah, this is the biggest downside to having pet rats. You get 3 years if you're *very* lucky, and that just isn't enough time.

I loved my rat more than any other pet I’ve ever had, but I don’t think I could do it again and recover, it’s too hard, the good ones are the most amazing things ever. I got 3 years and 5 months with my heart rate Sheepy, and it was amazing and wonderful and heartbreaking. Too short a time. 🤩🥰🐀🥹😢🫠

Tis true, they have such short lives, but keep in mind this important fact, you are their whole life. You're with them from when they are lil babies to when they pass to the great beyond. You are giving that sweet soul a good life.
@boopbooperson1654Ай бұрын
I feel the same with my mice but I cant live without them in my life. Depending on their predisposed genetic health, they pass between 5 months and 2 years [a true miracle when they sometimes live 3-5 years]. It's difficult every time, and it always takes a little bit of time to heal before I can get a new buddy.

Many animals are misunderstood or unappreciated. Snakes, for instance, are really just legless lizards, not evil harbingers of doom. Sharks are not bloodthirsty killing machines. Rats have a reputation for being dirty and being carriers of pestilence and.... well, that was true, at a certain point of time, but it spoke more of the circumstances those rats were in than anything about rats themselves. Mice and rats are actually rather clean and generally harmless creatures. Granted, you don't want them chewing up your stuff or dumping feces wherever they please, but that's true of any animal.

It’s funny, reading the comments - several of us had similar experiences, in that we got Rat(s) as pets for our kids, and ended up enjoying them as much or more. My eldest son had a rat when he was around 12. I enjoyed him as much as my son. They are the antithesis of Street Rats. Domestic Rats are clean, smart, easily domesticated to like their humans, have personalities, and are fun to watch and interact with. They make excellent pets. Yes, they only live to approximately 3 years, which can be hard. The only thing I wish I had done differently was I should have got 2 Rats at the same time. It’s nice for them to have a buddy.

Started out with "Momma" (her actual name is sugar because she is just so sweet). She was a breeder for feeders and preggers with her first litter when she came to me. She had 7 and I kept/saved 2 of them. Thought I had a total of 3 females- little did I know. Long story short, I now have 12 females (confirmed! No more "surprises" for me!). They are the most absolutely loving and sweet critters I could have ever gotten; took me 53 years to get there, but I couldn't imagine not having them. Know it will hurt so bad as they age and pass, but I couldn't imagine NOT having rats around now. Thing is, now, with having so many of the little mischief monkeys around, all wanting my attention and affection (and giving all that and more in return), it's the devil's time trying to keep them entertained!

I was going to have to do brain surgery on him in my Advanced Nuerophisology class the next semester. He would roam free much of the time and interact with the Cats and a bird we had. Getting a lab rat that is bread to get tumors to live over 3 years is unusual. He would have made 4 years but I took a month vacation and my Friend free fed him. I did time restricted eating with him. I was doing intermittent fasting experiments for Kevin Seybold and Dr. Wiseman at UWM-Milwaukee☮️

Rats do make great pets. I had pet rats growing up for many years and they are surprisingly intelligent and become part of the family just like a dog or a cat. The only downside in my experience is that rats piss and shit everywhere all the time and if you let them roam, they will chew stuff and build nests. They will steal anything they think they need and can carry into their nest. I remember cleaning out a nest from one of my beloved rats and it had all kinds of stuff in there. Whole packs of gum and candy and other bits of food and clothing and of course piss and shit everywhere. I could have just locked them up in their cage, but I think that's wrong, and animals don't belong in cages. They do scratch you up a bit unintentionaly with their claws buy you get use to that, and it does not hurt. I never had one bit me, but they can if you are too rough with them. My sister found that out. They do show love and affection in their own way. One of my rats would actually sleep with me at night and give me kisses when she wanted to. It's a lot of cleaning up if you want to own one even if you keep them in a cage but you're willing to do that then you should have a pet rat.
