      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.

    When my youngest son was in kindergarten, the teacher had 2 white rats, Pinky & Baxter. The kids loved “the boys”. One of them passed away. It taught the kids a life lesson about grief & loss & caring at age 5-6, & how to express their emotions. I will be grateful for Mrs. Hischmiller for sharing that with her students!

      The average lifespan of a cat is around 12 years but there are cats who get 25 years old. I think you have a hard time understanding the concept of average and assume it means the max lifespan or max of anything in general. Better look up what average is and you can avoid embarrassing yourself next time...@@TheAstroflight

    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❤❤

      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. :/

      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.

    We've had rats and their short lives are really rhe only negative aspect about them. They are smart, affectionate and fun. The most memorable rat for us was Squiddle. We had a two day funeral and my granddaughters sang songs, read their own poems. He was launched into the next world with style and live. With Bob and Gary they seem to get on reasonably well. Two males can get vicious but these two seem to overcome that.

    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.
    I know one thing my children and I will never forget Bullseye.

      You obviously live in a city, wild rats and mice or legion, without pest control in the country you would starve along with many other species of animals, and eventually they would run out of food and start to cannibalize, not to mention the spread of disease from an out of control mice and rat population, maybe eat some meat once in a while so that brain of yours can function properly.

      ​@@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 truly believe w a proper diet and using specific natural substances we could at minimum keep them healthy thru old age.

      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.
