[@rudebega1494]

Yeah, 2-3 years is the average. They can live longer; it’s just rare and can depend heavily on genetics. Especially with feeder rats, who sadly are not bred for longevity. 😢 they’re such great pets, they are so sweet and smart and will bond with you so intensely-the short lifespan is just unfair.

I had 2 rats I bought out of pocket money over 40 years ago now and I hid them in my room for 3 months loose. My mum heard noise in my room but they would hide when anyone but me came in. I left food and water and an open box on its side to let them wee and poo with some hey, I made 2 sleeping bags for them, I made toys everyday. One day I was in school and when I came home mum said anything to tell me, I said no. She said what about the cute fur babies in your room. Well I said you got me. Then on she brought a large cage but it stayed open in my bedroom and everyone loved them. Sadly they don’t live that long, but they had a wonderful life. Even playing in the garden in the summer. I loved my girls. Rest in peace my beautiful ladies. xx❤❤

The average lifespan of a cat is around 12 years but there are cats who get 25 years old.

[@juneyshu6197]

Im not even afraid of lizards, snakes, or most spiders. An8mals are awesome.

[@KageKobushi]

A lot of it has to do with learned behavior. I, personally, loved creepy crawlies (bugs) growing up to the point that my uncle bought me a habitat thing for them. However, by the age of 7, I was irrationally afraid of them due to my mom *always* shrieking and calling for me when there was a bug around. Even though I never had any bad experiences with them, my mom's constant fear reactions when facing insects or arachnids of any kind resulted in me getting afraid of them. :/

[@OMalleyTheMaggot]

Various diseases, the bubonic plague especially in this case, have leveraged human evolution to give us fears like this. Evolution doesn't "know why" being afraid of rats was a helpful trait to have just that humans between 1300 and 1700 had a much higher survival rate if they were lol

[@user-gg6lr2lc1v]

Agree! Smart as well

People are afraid of what they don’t know. Rats, mice and bats can carry different diseases, especially rabies, but the ones that you buy from a pet store wouldn’t have any diseases or come into contact with any. Of course you cannot buy bats.

Congratulations - You made me a rat fan. I always knew they were intelligent, but seeing them up close in a pet environment is a totally different thing. The downside is the 2 year life span. Same with possums. It's better to have loved and lost than never love at all, blah blah, but it sucks. I can't imagine the pain/grief after connecting with these little guys at such an emotional level.

[@crazyratlady3438]

It does suck but the key is to always have a few. What I do is get a group (4-6) of the same or around the same age and when they get down to 2 left I'll get a few more (the next group), repeat, repeat. Having others to focus on, to love and cuddle makes it more bearable. The joy they bring me outweighs the loss and I try to look at it as I'm happy I got to give them a good life.

To overcome my fear of rats, one Easter I had a fine idea. Easter rats! Thusly Bullseye and Wilma, like two little jelly beans, packaged snug and warm, went home to join the us at the Acre. Bull'seye was a true escape artist, it was a gift; from glass aquariums, to wire cages, latches, locks, and many hours of contemplation.....yet Time after time he won the game! I had mad respect for his ingenuity not to mention his outright pluck! As he made his secret forays, exploring his way through the upstairs rooms to see what he could find. I have to give my dearest ex husband props here, when bullseye slunk into the bed at night to have a bit of a snuggle; he always laughed and took it on the chin. This little dickens would even come to me when I called him, loved scratches behind the ears, and liked to play! He truly was like owning a weeny dog in so many ways.

​@@danielschannel701actually it's the opposite. Wild rats in captivity can live several years but domestic rats have much shorter life spans, probably due to mass breeding. I think breeding w the focus on extending life span could be done to add some time and diet and supplements could be used as well. I'm actually in the process of experimenting w the diet and supplement aspect.

I have had 2 rats. They are such great pets. I just wish they lived longer😢❤

Rats make great pets!

[@sapphirejynx]

It ABSOLUTELY KILLS me that they live for such a short time. I truly wish they lived longer. Precious little souls.

[@honey7ea]

My sister had a rat name Stripes who lived for a little under 7 years ! With lots of love and cuddles and everything they can live long lives 🥰🥰🥰

[@SagittariusArcherVaperkitten]

This is so true, Rats are amazing creatures, I have had so many of them due to their short life span (2 years is a bit short I would say 2-4 years) RIP: Jupiter, Socrates, Cheo Chun and all my baby Ratties...Mommy loves you forever...

"Feeder rats" OMG, live feedings should be against the law.

[@DanielMaixner]

Some animals won't eat unless the animal they are eating is not alive. That is just part of nature. Snakes are one of those, some geckos also. My friend has a gecko and she needs to feed him live crickets

[@gs2782]

@@DanielMaixner I read the last part of your comment as, "...she needs to feed him live chickens", and i immediately thought WHAT MONSTROUS GECKOS IS YOUR FRIEND BREEDING?! lol brain fart.

[@lostbunny8491]

@@DanielMaixner Yes they will. They will eat if you move the food around for them. It is the motion that triggers them.

Yet, billions are slaughtered each year! All creatures, have the right to life! Even, the ones we eat! 😒

[@alicec.b.9906]

The problem with rats (wild undomesticated ones) is that they carry many deceases, it is just like with any other wild animal, the problem with rats is that they adapted to roam around cities and areas with great population, and are more prone to easily pass on whatever decease they might be carrying compared to other animals that usually live in forests and places with little to no people living in there. You are right it shouldn't be that way, but it's difficult to find other ways specially when rats can reproduce so fast.

[@user-gg6lr2lc1v]

Agree!😢 Stopped eating animals 4 yrs ago!!!!❤

Their little ears are so cute! I wanna feel 1

I had an albino rat named Luna and she was the best! This is so cute!

[@jessschaefer8313]

Gerbils are the exact same- so trusting, so curious and they DEFINATELY show how happy they are by their movements- they’ll wink at you, and if you wink back, sometimes they’ll wink again. They are also wicked smart. I’m very glad to know that other people see “rodents” as pets and not just problem animals.

So sweet! All animals are so underrated. Especially animals like rats, or bats, or spiders.

rat's tail can wiggle like a worm and it's an adorable thing that a grey rat kinda came from a dog on his previous life

Omg those adorable little hands.

[@rarity9788]

I have 4 male pet rats and I absolutely love every single second with them! Their names are Beans, fluffy, smokie, and curly. They treat me like their ratty mom and I get lots and lots of cuddles and grooming lol… my 8 yr old daughter just adores them all and we have tons of fun playing with them. Fluffy wags his tail when I pet him and they all get baths regularly to prevent fleas and other skin issues they can sometimes get. (I live in an area that is weather extreme on both ends) so please if you do have the room and heart, get a pair of rats they will change your life for the better.

Wow they are cute 🥰 2 yr life span wish most animals lived longer 😢they’re so special ❤

It's a good thing their lives are so short in the wild or they would overpopulate, but as a pet, that is sad, wish they could live much longer.

despite media stereotypes, rats are surprisingly clean animals. they love grooming themselves and declutter their sleeping space.
