Bringing Home New Baby Rats!

I'm so happy that the lady makes you buy 2, especially since rats can get easily depressed by themselves, and they can get anxiety and they end up dying younger than 2-3 years. I hope they grow up joyfully and happily!
Rats are very unappreciated, and under rated as pets. I had one that got his own Thanksgiving platter every year. So cute watching him eat it. Your so cute with all your enthusiasm dealing with these under rated pets. :^)

@@user-or7rv3fr6w Rats are definitely not for all people, they are quite chaotic and beware of their smell because their smell stinks up a whole room within two days without washing their bedding, and I don't know if this is just me but my sister got rats and they are aggressive sometimes like she had to get stitches and they always fight each other even after getting neutered. They're super adorable though.
One thing I would recommend is to put a deep digging/foraging box. Fill it food and treats and they go crazy for it! It's always one of the first things my rats go to after I clean their cage! It also allows them to dig and experience that natural behavior

Watching someone using that big cage makes me happy. My uncle had a pet rat in a hamster enclosure (the ones in pet stores) and it was painful
When I was a teen I had rats and they were such lovely intelligent creatures. It was the 90's and if you wanted info the most reliable place was books and the books were very simplified. The internet existed but it wasnt so common for everyone to have it and even less common for each member of a home to have their own access. It is so nice to see such a variety of commercial treats toys and housing for these amazing creatures as well as some of the things we used back then like tissue boxes. I also worked in a pet store for a while and people would choose gerbils and hamsters over rats for their young children. Rats would have been a better choice to be honest
Girl, you've got rat fever lol. I got so excited just watching your excitement with the new babies. It's been a few years since I've had rats and watching Suicide Squad 2 makes me miss them so much. I use to manage a pet store and would adopt rats all the time. So many people that came in to buy hamsters left with rats instead by the time I was done with them. Loved your video. Maybe I'll be posting a rat or two of my own in the future.

I love how you take care of them! I'm glad people like you exist. My neighbour had two rats, they're in the balcony, a tiny cage, it had a hammock, but the rats destroyed it (they must be so bored, poor souls...) and now it's just... full of clothes, poor creatures only seep all day, and they're under the hot sun or cold night, even when it rains they're there (we had a massive rain like a week ago, idk how they were...), I'm so tired of that family, the dog already lives like sh*t, so when I saw the daughter got two rats.......... oh damn, how I hate them. I don't know what can I do because basically I can't sue her (police won't think there's any animal abuse...). So, for real, thank you, I wish those rats my neighbour has would have gone to a better house like you.
you seem like such a respectful and caring pet owner its so sweet seeing how much thought you put into everything 🥺
absolutely love them. they are so cute!! A few tips for you though...Bowels are always better. If you use fleece blankets instead of bedding it will minimize the sneezing. and save you money. That's what most collector's use. rats very easily get raspatory infections and using the fleece can stop that. or at least slow it down. also, please be very careful when introducing them. people say they have thick skin and I have done it enough to know that they do not. I have owned a lot of them. the most I've had at once was 13. And believe it or not the females are harder to introduce then the males. So good luck. again, I love your babies

I have always loved pet rats; they are awesome! Had a beautiful sweet black rat named Roy. My mom never came to visit without bringing him a piece of candy as a rare treat. She loved watching him but she was a little afraid of him. She hated his tail! But she would pet him if I held him. He was such a good boy. Everyone should give them a try. They are very smart, friendly, affectionate and very clean! So much fun to watch and interact with. Excellent pet for children and apartment dwellers and relatively inexpensive (compared to cats and dogs).

Hi this is the first video I’ve seen from you and I was so happy that you take care of rats. My name is penny and I’m 10 years old and have allergies to a lot of furry animals so rats are one of the only furry pets I can have and I’m so glad of that now rats are my favorite animals. I moved recently and now I live in New Zealand but I had to say goodbye to my 3 rats I used to have 5 but one of them (her name was coco) died from a brain tumor and there sister (a blind rat named butterscotch) died from old age. It was really hard to leave them but now there with one of my close friends. I’m hopping to get some more rats when we are residents of New Zealand. That’s all I’m going to subscribe and I just wanted to share my story😊❤️🐀

I have had Guinea pigs for around 2 years now and bunnies for about 5. This video has made me want to adopt some dwarf rats cause they are just so cute 🥰
This is so beautiful. Rats are so precious.
I had a Sprout! She was a black & white hooded & unfortunately left for Rainbow Bridge in March rather unexpectedly. She led me to two babies in a rescue & I got them a couple weeks later. My grey & white girl (Moxie Blue) is not a dumbo & not a roan but they are very similar! Her sister is Magpie! They turned 5 months old on 7/8 & were spayed last week! (Great bday present, huh?). Try filling your water bottle all the way to the top of the neck of the bottle & that may help stop drips. I read somewhere that that helps prevent drips because it creates a better vacuum or something. Also, I take it your tap water doesn’t contain fluoride! That would be so nice. I have to buy bottled water since our water has fluoride in it! I’ll post a pic of my babies on your IG! Look forward to following these cuties!
I got my 3 girls the day after they were weaned. They weren't ready for a regular cage; so I've had them on my bed in a small one till they're comfortable. I open the cage daily while I'm around. I also put them in the big cage a little at a time
Omg congratulations on your new babies, you're so pretty too :)
Every time I finish a box of anything it goes in the rat cage and they love it immediately!
They are sooooo lovely! Best wishes 😊❤

Those baby rats are real cute! I added 2 baby rats to a single rat where her mate had health issues. The added pair works better for a single because the older one won't pin them down. After about 2 days they all snuggle together. I've tried adding a similar sized rat in the past with usually a fight most of the time. The older rat doesn't see the babies as a threat and they mix much better.
Aweee. They're so so cute baby babies 😩😩🥺🥺
😅We used to have rats&mice&dogs&cats&rabbits& squirrels & birds&fish&snakes.My favorite rats were sara(grey)&joey(white& grey)-together they produced 19 babies with the first batch.It was overwhelming for sara & she died leaving babies.I called every zamzows until i found one that would save all the babies and eventually sale them.they paired them up with other rat mothers who were breastfeeding.Joey was playing outside with the kids & ate some plant outside & died.
Such cute babies!
