How to Cuddle/Pet Your Rats
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This is just a quick video on some of the ways I've found that my rats enjoy being cuddled. Remember that all rats are different, so while some may love to be pet, others might detest it. Also remember that age is very much a factor, younger rats often (but not always) have too much energy to sit still for longer cuddles, but this can change as they age.

That's the spirit keep your chin up sweetie! I let you in on a lil secret; rats can eat as much human food as us. Yes the rat book is useful for general tips, but rays are omnivourous n i have not wasted a lot of food since i got nt babies. Wrinkled old veg in the fridge? The rats go nuts for it. That toast that hot burnt thst you did plsn on having for breakfast? Sorted rats can't get enough of buttered toast. Leftover rice, pasta, old pizza crusts they will, nosh down on any chow that you give them. Soatingly ofc, i do it coz i love then n soetimes they need fattening up when they look miserable. Try a strand of spaghetti wirh a rat you will laugh your pants off. Or giving them sticky stuff like jam n oeanut butter. And they go absolutely potty for coconuts,peanuts, potatoes 🥕 🍏 just bout anything. Just make sure you always give them their usual rat pellets n they will get so excited about this lovely new food you give them they can't make up their minds! I have to encourage them to go n hosrd it before they get any more tjo but its cool. PS they go nuts for fried egg 🥚 n old chicken bones. You won't actually find any when you go to clean the cage out lollololol

These are great tips. I have one boy that wants to jump on my chest for petting, and another who wants petting while he peers at me from the edge of the cage shelf. I'm glad to get confirmation that some rats just like things differently and that I'm not "doing it wrong".
I usually do it in a place where they feel confident in. Which is usually a box or blanket

I have 2 brothers, they have been with me and handled kindly since 5 weeks of age. They still dont care for it. They tense up and I can tell they dont care for it. They turned a year old a couple months ago. They are safe and happy, they have a large 2 story critter nation cage, and their personal boundaries respected. I do not try to hold them anymore, they are observed, they get head pets, and food treats like scrambled eggs and toast from time to time. They have really great lives.
The best feeling is when a normally fairly aloof rat decides that it wants a specific amount of pettings and climbs into your hands to get them
One of my girls twitches her ears once in awhile. I have had so many rats in my life time and this is the only one that does it. She seems happy all of the time and she is a cuddler. I just don't know what this means. Her ears go so fast it looks like she is a hummingbird. I laugh so hard when she does this. If I can catch this on video I will submit it some day.

I'm about 90% sure you guys have females in heat :P Several of my girls have/do do this when in heat, and other behaviors to look for would be back arching when you pet towards the rear, a general "hyper/skittishness" during this time, hopping motions, and of course, what your seeing (the buzzing/vibrating ears). I do agree though, super hilarious behavior to see!

Thank you for your reply. I think you are right as she does arch her back and the girls are always smell each other's bottom obsessively at times. I guess I never noticed this before as 95% of my rats were males. I've also noticed that my males were always so content to lay on my lap for hours to be petted and my girls are so hyper they don't sit still for one minute. I suppose this could also be because they are only 3 months old. I enjoy your knowledge and appreciate your comments, thank you 🐀

My relationship with rats has been... bizarre to say the least. I've had a phobia of wild rodents, but have rats as my favorite type of pet. It's strange, but I've learned to separate domestic and wild rats as different species. Would be fully terrified of them to this day if I never had my first female rat. That being said, one good reason why people could be afraid of rats: the media. They can be displayed in very gruesome lights to provide nightmare fuel (like in the movie "George Orwell's 1984"). Another reason could be having a scary encounter with a wild one: those kinds of memories stay with you for years.

I’m so glad I found your channel it’s so informative but not boring! I enjoy your videos a lot. I’m a new rat Mum and my 2 boys are only about 2 months old and are WAY too active and won’t stop. No matter how long I have them out of their cage they always try and get out as soon as I put them in. And move around too much I can’t give them a scratch for more than 5 seconds! Still cute though and I love them so much already. Can’t wait to learn more through your channel.

I have bunnies and they do some things similar when comfortable. They’ll grind their teeth and lick when comfortable. They also put their head down to rest on the floor or where ever they are, with their eyes closed.
Adorable! I (rat)sat for a friend when he went overseas, gained a whole new view of them. I don’t know about other pet rats but I found them kind, intelligent, and a joy to have around. Let’s say I am not opposed to having one as a pet now.

I've gotten the same add vvhen looking @ rat videos ...I think the bot that sends them just looks for the keyvvord "RAT" & then sends the add . I Hate getting those adds though.
One of my (male) rats (he is about 4 months) LOVES when i pet the top of his head. He just sits there and falls asleep!
my rats are now around 8-9 months old, so far they only like cuddling when they're already asleep or sleepy, and then they do their bruxing but not otherwise. It's the cutest thing ever though! And one of them also did it when I sang a song for her
I'm glad you told me about boggling, I thought my rat was having a seizure... I feel bad now when she did this I always put her back in her cage because I was worried I'd over-exerted her. At the time when I had them, vets were used to treating cats and dogs but not smaller animals. Their usual treatment for everything in rodents (including mouth ulcers) was to put them to sleep... So I felt guilty for years for not taking her to a vet in a hope I could have her in my life a little bit longer, she seemed good in herself, clean, eating, clean pee and nicely forming poops. (This was before the internet existed.)
I just got my first 2 rats today (2 males)....i want more already....they are so sweet and one of my males (pak) is already grooming me....i am completely and utterly IN LOVE🐀🐀💙💙

I love how different rats’ personalities are, i have two sisters and one LOVES getting tickles (she’ll get tickled on her tummy, then turn around like she’s mad, then suddenly zoom back and nuzzle my hand so i can tickle them again!), while her sis never lets me turn her on her back :’) this video was so sweet, i love when you can tell how comfortable a rat is with their human, all of your rats seem so calm around you and it was lovely to watch
I find u so get the best as advised in vid to let ur rats/pets be themselves, they are all different like us , and thats there beauty ,they are there own souls ,my girls have all been different .
Now I want rats again. These ones are really sweet for girls.
i just fell in love...

a couple of years ago i had a pet rat named Miki...he died from some lung disease (SOMETHING PLASMA)..just two and a half years...i still miss him...
These cuties are so blissed out!
I don’t even have a rat and I’m watching a person petting rats for 5 minutes. This is the quality I want.
My current crop isn't very cuddly. A group that had two different owners before I answered the Craigslist ad. 4 youngish ones and one big, older one rescued from being snake food. Naturally, that last one is all 'Whatever, I don't care' and is less prone to squirming and pulling away.

Aww thanks so much for rescuing poor abused and abandoned ratties. I've rescued several too; some were ultra cuddly, others liked to cuddle with other rats but not so with me. Maybe once your buddies get older they'll mellow out and want more cuddle time with you. They're probably used to humans being neglectful and cruel.

They vvill come around ifthey havnt allready . They vvill notice that you keep trying to be friends & still keep trying to be nice & they vvill start being playfull. Once 1 does let you pet it, if it starts bruxing let the others hear it, then they vill realize that you are definately trying to be nice to them & they'll start being friendlier
Cute rats
I don’t know why this video exists but im here for it to be honest
Are you kidding me this is the best video I have ever fucking seen, thank you for this. This was so necessary.
I thought rats were disgusting dumpster animals but this video changed my mind

Well you are thinking wrong. You are assuming pet rats and WILD rats are the same. They are not.

That's called boggling and only occurs because the rat's jaw muscle connects to their eyes. But it just means that she's super happy and bruxing very hard

Bart Blom if you're a kid, and your parents aren't in love with rats, don't get them. Wait until you're older. Because rats need a lot of responsibility, research and care, and a lot of money for medical attention.
Now that’s top quality KZread material
This video is really satisfying and seeing so relaxed rats is warming my hearth.
I have a mouse who acts just like a tiny cuddly rat

My rat always do that... When I try to kiss him he puts his paw and turn his head. I feel so rejected 😢 But I'm also happy that he climbs on me and allows me to pet him sometimes 😊
Omgosh that boggling. This video is SO precious
Rats are little angels of love.
