They use their tails for balance like cats usually always land on their feet. This is also where their sweat glands are and how they cool off.

My rats and one of my dogs would play with each other 😂 ONLY through the cage, I never let them together outside the cage but they would chase each other back and fourth it was adorable :)

"Do rats bite?" - I just have to add that sometimes they (gently?) bite your fingers when they think it's food/smell food on them... At least mine do and always kinda seize for a moment there after and then gently lick and groom that same finger as they'd like want to say "omg sorry, my bad oops..." and I always just find it so cute

One of my rats licks me so aggressively that I feel like he's trying to establish himself as above me or maybe telling me to take a shower. 😅

My poor chubby boy got stuck between the rungs on a toy ladder a few weeks ago. Obviously I didn't hesitate to grab him to help. He was so scared that I did actually get my first proper rat bite. It's crazy how powerful their jaws and teeth are!

We used to put our rats cage next to the window, and one day when we moved their cage to clean them, we saw a HUGE hole in the curtain! The had pulled the curtain into the cage and started chewing it despite the fact they had multiple things to chew in their cage 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😅😅

Wow so interesting. I love all small creatures.

I have a very old rescue rat that was given away after his housemate and he were attacked by dogs so one day I was playing with him and I set him off and he REALLY bit me, of course, I didn't blame him and still have him to this day even though he isn't doing that well now.

I understand that most people would think that mice and rats don't get along but I have owned both for a lot of years and I have some mice that are housed with rats and they get along amazingly! One of my female rats even raised some baby mice as if they were her own. I am very experienced and well educated on rats and mice. They have never faught and none of my mice have ever been harmed by the rats. In one enclosure I have 4 rats and 5 mice and they get along so well, they just absolutely adore each other. But that's just my experience. 😊💖

There’s many other reasons I wouldn’t keep them together such as the cage size requirements / risk of rats living in taller cages mice could fall in and also the slightly different nutritional needs you’d have to accommodate for but I’d be interested to see how you do that!

@hollydavis4987

@@Emiology thanks for your reply! As I said I've owned mice and rats for many years so my life basically revolves around them and I just have to work around them. My mice and rats have always just gotten along without me needing to interfere or do anything like that. It started when I was free roaming the rats in my room and one of my mice Bobby who was a baby at the time, he's nearly 4 now(that's really old for a mouse), was on my shoulder because he just always wants to be around me and so I decided to let him down onto the ground with the rats and Bobby was very interested in them but they didn't really even notice him, well they knew he was there but they didn't really care. From then on my rats and mice have been living in harmony together. I feed my rats and mice the same nutritious diet and they absolutely thrive off it, their costs are all really healthy, they are a good weight, they have plenty of energy especially some of the older ones that still like to climb and play and run around! I just love them all so much!😊💜💜

The few people that disliked this video had their screen upside down! 😂

one of the questions was do rats need wheels... do they? also, will they chew through a plastic cage because i’ve seen some places say the cages need to be metal, but some places say they can be plastic!!

@sinandcyanide7505

4 жыл бұрын

Plastic cage bases are usually fine, but it'll depend on your rats. Mine were fine for months then decided to chew through the base and explore my apartment. They missed their sister who had to be moved to a nursery after having babies unexpectedly. They're fine now that they're back together though! As for wheels, males will usually use them less if they use them at all, but females are likely to use one. If you give them a lot of free roam time, they don't have to have one but still might enjoy it. Just make sure it's the appropriate size.

I don't normally want ads with a video but I wish I would get ads with your videos. A sort of reward for your great videos.

My rats and dog are good friends! 😊 I don't let them out with each other of course, but they love sniffing each other through the cage, they don't try and attack or anything but I still don't trust them out if the cage with the other one 😂

you can train rats to detect certain deseases in humans with their sense of smell or find landsmines (the upside of this is that rats learn much faster than dogs and if the dog sits on the mine it can blow up while it wont will when a rat sits on it), so saying they have a good sense of smell is a hard understatement

I let mine run on my faux leather couch, that way I can just wipe it down after. And I guess you don't HAVE to change after they pee on you, but like... You have rat pee on you you should probably change. Even if it's just a little

Lol do rats have bones? Me: That’s like saying I don’t have bones Seconds later Me: MUUUUUUUM DOES A MONKEY HAVE BONES

I assume the reason some people might wonder whether rats have bones it’s because they’re able to fit through such small spaces and are generally really flexible.

I got a rat not to long ago and she was by herself at the pet store, so I got her because Iv been wanting rats for a while. She gets all the attention and love that she needs. The pets store informed me that they’d be getting more babies in about the next 2 weeks but because of covid 19 they stopped having live animals in the pets stores. So iv had my rat alone for about 3 months now. It’s really upsetting because I want her to have a few more sisters but I literally can’t. And I live in a small town and there are no breeders close to me. She seems extremely happy though always wanting to be around me and my partner and loves playing and pea fishing she has lots of toys and activities to do.

No, it's not. The mice that Emi owns are domesticated and bred to be pets.

Your best bet is to do your research and get pet (fancy) mice.
