Her son is such a beautiful supportive man. He is your true blessing and you have taught him emotional intelligence. You give them the best life they could ever have and that's truly unconditional love.
Everyone in the comments is just mad thinking who would have a rat as a pet idk who would have a damn snake as a pet thats worse and the husband in this is a douche i bet even she loved cats he still would be upset lol
Aw that was heartbreaking when she realised that Blossom had passed :( She's not crazy, she just knows that animals deserve love just as we do. She's a wonderful lady.
I literally ugly cried after seeing her so sad, I’m so sorry for her loss! I’m also a rat lady and i get why she loves rats so much. There is nothing wrong with her, I totally agree with you!!
This is not a "crazy obsession". She has a warm, caring heart for the pets that are stereotyped as disgusting or ugly. I have 6 pet rats and they will never live up to those words. I oove them so much, so just let a lady live her life.
I have even more rats than this lady, ive keot them as pets for years and bred them for the pet trade for years... but if my wife wanted them gone theyd be freaking gone lol... I love rats as much as the next person.... I just love my wife more than rats. It IS a little obsessive to actually chose rats over your spouse.... I mean best case scenario you have maybe 3-5 years AT BEST with those rats, vs a lifetime with the person you are supposed to love... sure seems crazy obsessive to me....
@@lilykvist3163 honestly rats are one of the most sweet pets I had a pet mouse and he was so affectionate and loving sadly he died but he had a huge bond with me and my family RIP rex
You said it yourself. They're stereotyped as disgusting or ugly, and she has nineteen of them. Then she is literally mouth-to-mouth kissing them and compromising her marriage for them. That would indeed count under the category of a "crazy obsession" to most people. Enough that they could actually run a television segment about it and people voluntarily watch it. Be happy that with this kind of exposure that people may think rats aren't so bad after all.
When Blossom passed away, my heart broke with this lady. I have ten rats and can’t imagine my life without them. They’re the most insightful and charismatic pets I’ve ever owned. RIP Blossom. Thank God there are people out there which advocate for animals in the way that this woman does. I wish I could hug her and thank her for getting rid of that poison. Rats are NOT gross! They clean themselves more than cats.
I love to say that rats are the best but also one of the most heartbreaking animals you can own, the amount of love they provide in such a small time is so incredible and I dont know why these angels are here but Im so happy to spend my time with them
@@MyNathanking idk what she’s playing with but u don’t wanna waste too much of your time with worldly stuff! Spend some time helping people too! God is looking at how you treat your fellow man! Not asking for handouts but the blessings are in loving your neighbor & putting God 1st! She’s juggling her marriage over these rats!?
@@orlandojohnson5742 Well thank you; that is a very good point. I was implying everything you just said when I said that I hope this woman is a Christian because there are no rats and animals in hell --- for what I was thinking when I wrote that was that this woman is investing all her energy in something which is so earthly and so temporal. I want you to be assured that I DO know, of course, that she is putting rats above her marriage and --- and I can only hope not above Jesus as well. Does that satisfy you? Those rats are cute, though, especially the one running on the countertop. I like the way it moves.
@TimTim & The BusyBodies! rats are pretty durable, they are fast. Its very unlikely she can crush them since they are flexible and they can squeeze out. And its also likely that she only did it for the video. Try not to overthink it
@TimTim & The BusyBodies! She has a huge enclosure for her rats. We see it in the video. She only let all the rats out and pretended they run amuck while she’s out the house for the cameras. I can almost say for certain when she can’t attend to them they are put into there enclosure like when she sleeps, works Etc.
EXACTLY. Pet rats don't make someone a messy person or make them have a smelly house. It's only the people who were messy and didnt care about smells to begin with who end up with nasty rat cages and smelly houses. Ussually its the people breeding them for snake food who skimp on the care and cleaning, but sometimes its the people with pet rats who just happen to be lazy about upkeep.
“My Crazy obsession,” dude some of these people have thousands of dolls or hundreds of Christmas trees in their homes, this lady having a few pet rats who she loves and cares for well is pretty damn normal. Rats are pretty intelligent and capable of being very affectionate companions.
@@Delinae I agree. It's lots easier honestly. I breed lots of pet rats and I've constantly got 1-3 times as many rats as this lady at any time. I keep around 20 adults for breeding and have anywhere from 0-50 baby rats nursing at a time. Its not that much work, or very expensive, especially if you have plenty of big nice enclosures and nice equipment. All of which is readily available for cheap on craigslist etx. Its especially cheap if you buy your food and bedding in bulk at feed barn type places. If you are short on cage space though itll smell really quickly. Luckily I only have to replace the bedding 2 or 3 times a week because i have loooots of big cages with plenty of floot space and tons of litter delivered on a set schedule from amazon. I have special water bottles that can be refilled without taking them off the cage, so food and water is just as easy as it is for a cat or dog. In my opinion, cleaning cages 2-3 times a week is arguably easier than taking multiple dogs out to pee and for walks, multiple times a day. A good rat is really a lot like a good dog too. They really care for their humans and seek out their approval. The only downside to rats is that they must be kept in groups of at least 2 because they are very social. Its easy to concince yourself to keep buying more, even if you dont let them breed, because you tell yourself 1 or 2 more rats isnt really much additional work, and before you know it you have 20 or more lol. They only live 2-3 years on average though, so as long as you can stop buying more for a couple years, eventually the issue will take care of itself so to speak.
@@alexcrowder1673 not having to wake up on time to take rats for walks is one of the reasons I have rats instead of dogs lol. Ny 3 give me a lot of work though. They're all little escape artists and fight each other a lot even though they're brothers.
I currently have 32. I did a rescue of 8 and one of them was pregnant - she had 8 babies and then i took in 3 more. So this lady with 19 - I COMPLETELY understand her.
@@cherjii I have 3 girl rattos and they are very clean. I've had dogs that weren't as clean. My girls are constantly grooming themselves. They're my little babies and I love them so much. They are so smart and loving. I do plan on getting a couple more rattos in the future and wouldn't mind having boys at some point. I have a huge cage for them with lots of toys. I used to be a little scared of rats because I just wasn't sure of them. But my cousin had a pet rat and I just fell in love with her. I do know now though that they shouldn't be alone and need other rat friends.
I don’t see anything wrong with this woman. She just genuinely cares for animals and loves her rats like her own children. Who can blame her really. I got a little teary when Blossom died. RIP Blossom.
The only problematic thing is her buying rat poisons and stuff, she’s gotta learn sometimes you can’t afford to do anything like that and her marriage is over. Otherwise loving your animals and properly caring for them isn’t bad.
The problem is that she's indirectly supporting the manufacture and sale of rat poison. She's giving the company financial incentive to continue making and selling the product by creating a faux demand for it. They don't care that it's being tossed because it's still making them money.
She said she's been owning rats since she was 16, it's her husband's fault, he knew she liked rats when they got married. I do agree with what you said about the rat poison tho
The rat poison thing was so weird and unrealistic that I feel like it was one of those scripted moments reality shows make people do to add drama and make her look crazy.
I love having pet rats but the fact that they only live a few years is always heartbreaking. They really do have individual personalities and are highly intelligent. Rats know when your sad or happy. Great pets
i know! i had to put my rat clover down on jan 7th because she had cancer in her eye and it paralyzed her face:( it was pretty hard. they're very great pets, i have 7 more lol. will always miss clover though
And when her son leaves the house and she cant walk, the rats will carry her around, she will be so happy! Very normal. NOT. I feel sorry for her human family. What she is doing is 100% selfish.
@@kygal What concerns me the most is how many people here think she is okay or even glorify her for giving home to animals that don't need one while discarding her family. I feel the worst for her son.
There’s no problem with having rats ngl. As long as they aren’t wild rats (those can carry a lot of bacteria) and they’re well taken care of, I quite like her rodents.
i dont know they are kinda nazy but peolpe like what they like and who they like.like me i love wolfs and foxs and cats but some people kill them and i hate peolpe who kill them because they have anmals that a wolf can eat or kill and it was there falt because the [people moved thre so i hate people who kill wolfs and foxs that all i have to say:)
@@darlyngabrielaparada-marti430 I have rats. 3 boys and they are more loving than my dog. They give kissed and snuggle with you and eachother. It's the cutest thing ever they are ridiculously spoilt and the best rodents I've ever owned
@@ciennaborland8124 that's cute but I not that really fan of rats I dontnlike them but I love wolfs but other people like them so yea 😂 and I love cats and fox😂
The rats are her coping mechanisms. We dont know what kind of trauma has she been threw. Kudos to her for being able to care for rats the way some ppl treat dogs n cats.
It's clear she has given up on men and relationships and found these rats instead. She said they dont judge her. It's clear she has had some bad relationships.
We don’t get to see much but I did get the sense she has some attachment issues. But she seems to be functioning just fine so I see no issue. Husband seemed a bit rubbish anyway. My partner is very supportive of my love of rats. I just hope her son gets lots of love and attention too because he seemed like a good lad!
@@asharizz.3786 because the way animals are obtained for pet stores is horrific!! They are bred in small plastic boxes and kept there with minimal water and food with tens of there own kind most likely not even the same litter sitting in there own urine and people wonder why most of the animals don't last or end up having diseases. Search it up. And don't support
So, what, are we supposed to just let the animal stay in the pet store until it's the end of the line and they are put down instead of giving them a second chance at life by taking them out of there? Shouldn't they be allowed such a chance too, much like abandoned dogs are at shelters?
No problem with her rats, just the fact that she hides the rat poison in diff alleys is funnily unnecessary. Anyway, good for her if she’s happy, that’s all that matters
YES, people need to be more proud about what they’re happy doing, like be yourself even if people think you’re weird. Everyone is weird somehow, it’s just a mix of society and your point of view. If the woman is happy, let her be happy!👏 Edit: unless it hurts others, then it’s just straight wrong. Like her hiding the poisoning, I understand it’s killing the rats but there are some rats out there carrying diseases and can seriously harm people. Sometimes the seemingly harmless animals have to die in some circumstances.
@@biscuit3456 Yeah, another example would be feral cats in Australia. They’re cute n all but killing them is a necessity as they kill birds that are about to go extinct and many other animals
As long as she’s taking care of them there is no problem with this, she has a beautiful home, they are well taken care of. Rats are amazing pets, they aren’t gross. She’s a hero in my book
I started tearing up as well. I have a girl right now, Diamond, who has a golf ball sized growth on her side, but we can’t afford the $400 surgery to remove it (which is only to test if it’s cancerous or not) and the vet said it could come back even stronger and there’s a chance she could die from the anesthesia, because of their tiny respiratory systems. I didn’t wanna pay $400 to go home without my baby girl. She’s been through so much already. When she was a baby she got her neck caught in the corner of the cage door because she started slipping out without my fiancé’s knowledge while he was closing it, (I’m talking he had the door fully closed once he noticed her up there and there’s not even enough room to get a finger through that stop) and she made it out with nothing but some bruising, and she ended up being the most lay full and energetic out of her sisters. I’ve lost five girls over the last year, and it still breaks my heart every single time. I cried for a good half hour when I noticed her lump, because I couldn’t handle the thought of losing another one. The only thing we can do is keep her happy and comfortable until she decides it’s time to go. It kills me to see her like this, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain, so there isn’t too much I can do for her. And other than having a golf ball growing from her side she seems perfectly okay. I think after watching this I need to go give my girls some love, and some extra special attention to my hairless, Wonder. Blossom looked just like her.
I was so shocked when Blossom passed away. I wouldn't expect them to show that because I doubt they would have with someone losing a dog or cat. I've been where she is and losing a rat is just as painful. At least most of the people in the comments seem to have a big heart.
Damn I just made it didn't realize what you meant I don't care for rats..but there is nothing wrong with people that love them an have them as pets an you are so right...they should not have even done this episode pretending it's wrong
@@hylaarborea1090 I totally disagree with you, this is why: 1. Rats are very very cute 2. They’re super intelligent 3. They’re great pets We just didn’t need your stupid comment, if you don’t like rats, good for you, cause I’m sorry but leaving this comment probably meant you want attention, and rats are great at giving that to you and helping with depression. You’re just really disrespectful by leaving such a horrible comment.
I was so happy to come to the comments to see most being so supportive of this woman and her pets !! I admittedly stigmatized rats as well, until my daughter wanted one so bad , I tried to talk her out of it, finally I decided we would try it , she picked one out and suddenly I see this creature who treats my daughter so well, teaches her responsibility, nurturing and more. And it turns out I'd recommend a rat over a hamster for kids specifically (although I have and love a hamster he isnt as social, playful or patient for an with children as the 2 rats we now have are. And I feel are better for adults )
The worst psychic torture for that lady could being going to scientific laboratories and seeing all the horrible experiments they're doing with rat's and another's animals.
@Aura dog reading the comments like a game, you can clearly spot the people who never had the pleasure of owning rats. I found another unfortunate being.
I’m so sorry about Blossom. R.I.P Blossom. And I’m sorry that such a devastating moment did not have privacy. Thank you for saving and loving rats and sharing your passion and emotion with us.
Sorry I couldn't take it seriously.. Hairless rats are so ugly but I love them and want some. I feel bad that must have been hard for her especially after spending the money and being told it'd be fine
Actually they will do recovery and find all the missing items and be pissed at whoever did that. They also don’t order more in their own. When it’s all bought it goes through an inventory system and an order is automatically placed.
Watching her lose Blossom reminded me of the time when I was a kid and watched my mouse, Rachel pass… Made me cry immediately watching this. I’m glad she grieves for each and every one, she has a kind heart.
RIP blossom, such a sweet girl :( the problem with surgery on small animals is that their bodies can only take so much, and with such a large tumor, it may have been cancerous. Female usually get tumors right on their arms and are normally fatal. At least Blossom was with her mommy the whole time
The decision to operate on them is such a difficult one. Mammary tumors normally aren't cancerous on rats, the problem is that they keep growing to the point that it impacts their quality of life. With my rats, I usually chose not to operate but they eventually would need to be PTS because the mammary tumors grow so large and it wasn't fair for them to deal with. Rest in peace, sweet Blossom.
I had a rat put down because of a large tumor. It was heartbreaking. She and her sister were my babies and it was so hard to lose them. They both died right in my arms. I'm glad I was with them till the very end.
I have both male and female rats. The girls don't really a smell except when they're in heat (every 3 to 5 days) and even then it's very faint and not unpleasant, kinda like coconut. Intact boys smell more neutered boys, and neuteres boys smell more than girls but it's not bad unless they have poor living conditions. The boys kinda smell faintly of...new sewing fabric? It's hard to describe. It's kinda like the way parrots' feathers smell. Not pungent but kinda a faint dusty, earthy, spicy sort of "curry" smell lol xD
@@i3611 And? Rats are her favorite like yours is probably like dogs and/or cats. Infact if you interact with a rat you will find they act a lot like dogs and cats
I love animals too! Cats dogs etc! But don’t forget these are soulless creatures! Man has a soul & God wants us to love our neighbors! Bring others to Christ! Don’t waste too much time on pets & worldly lust!? Not a sin to have pets but don’t loose focus on why we are all here! Matthew 6:33 god 1st family, friends ,humans, 2nd(love your neighbor)…. Your spouse comes before rats!?! Sorry I’m not feeling her priorities…..
@@orlandojohnson5742 Yes, of course I know all of that. I know that she is putting her energy into soulless creatures. I know that it is not sin to love rats (God made them too) but that she is taking it way too far. I'll have you know that, while I admire her love of rats, what I DON'T admire is that she's willing to spend 50 dollars every week just to go to hardware stores and buy up their rat poison inventory just so she can throw it away. Now THAT is grossly unnecessary. Think of the much better causes she could be giving her money toward. I don't like THAT kind of devotion.
Yea that was a lot. I saw that episode and oddly enough, I felt happy to see him happy. They were cute. Then I got super sad when i found out that he was killed
CPR that can’t do on the rat but she died that woman has a really good heart she got surgery to remove a tumor and died after that doctor took the tumor out and small to do that is not fair that was gone after that like that man said was really risky that went really wrong 😳😵
Many rats do survive surgery with a exotic specialist and a younger rat will have better life chances overall with removal. She would still need to be put to sleep if they didn't remove the tumour unfortunately. She has no way to know the future, she made the best decision at the time that she could. Surgery in this case would probably have survival rates. It's a difficult decision to make, but even the surgeries with the highest success rates have people who don't survive unfortunately. I do feel bad for blossom, and I'm sure she will feel guilt over this even when she made the best decision she could at the time. I've been there too, and it's always difficult. Sometimes you need others to remind you that you did your best.
Rats are amazing pets. So misunderstood, but extremely intelligent (and emotionally intelligent!). There have been studies that clearly show that rats have empathy.
I really wish ppl could see how cute and smart rats are. They are literally tiny dogs. And they are really soft!! And believe it or not, rats from a pet store are CLEAN. they are one of the cleanest animals bc they don’t like being dirty. They clean themselves daily multiple times a day. They will take water from their water bottle and wash their faces😭 so cute!!
@@bethlovelace7395 I live in india and im a kid but i do work in my fields growing tapioca etc.... We depend on plants we grow as were not very rich but rodents like rats give a lot of headache
I myself have 3 rats, Noah, Boris and Oliver and I completely understand her pain. Losing a pet is like losing a dear friend. It’s so painful and I feel for her.
@@JoJo-dv1rz I will get 2 rats today. I will rescue them from becoming snake food. My little sister already bought 2 at the same place. And they are so tame!!
Update, i got 3 rats now and they are so sweet! I have a white-grey one called Mokita, a white one with a really light crème on the back that's called Whisky (she is getting blind and deaf btw but don't worry she is still a happy girl) and i got a naked dumbo rat called Misty who had really rough skin but is cured now. I always had pet rats but now that i am living on my own i can't function without them💖
My daughter had a guinea pig named blossom too! Unfortunately all the little 8-12 pigs died & my kids grew up! In their 20’s now! Pets are good for training your kids to love & be responsible! But pets have no soul & man is a different creature (with a soul!)! When I was a child I did childish things when I became a man I put away childish things! We have to grow as Christians to love man more than worldly possessions! Man has dominion over animals & should always use them to benefit & NOT ABUSE ANIMALS TRUE ENOUGH! But don’t put animals before your marriage or loving your neighbor!
That lady is no where near crazy, she has a kind and loving heart towards rats and she stands up for them. She has a great heart and no one should judge her for trying to save rats.
People have to sleep outside you know and rats are very dangerous. Would you want to try n sleep on the ground with rats around? You guys are so selfish thinking its cool to stop buisness owners/ restaurants from being able to eliminate a art problem.. Like get a life . Better yet go live in Africa Please
This isn’t a crazy obsession. If she had 357 rats living in her fridge cuz she liked the way they lived in the fridge, then yeah. Crazy. She’s a nice rat mom. Y’all awful for making her look crazy. #R.I.PBlossom
Right?? They are the most wonderful little guys!! I have 3 and I love them all to pieces. I'd have more if it wasn't for my husband. Maybe I should be like her and kick him out and get more!!
Yep! I had two as pets and loved them. My oldest now wants a pet rat 🐀 ❤️. As long as my husband agrees to it, I want to get her one. They aren’t gross. They are adorable and loving. The ONLY thing I don’t care for about rats is their tails… only bc they remind me of snakes.
This production company could have portrayed this in a better light. Rats are some of the greatest pets a person could have. They are highly emotionally in tune. They are highly social animals, enjoying snuggle time with their humans, sharing good with their humans, and knowing when to “groom” a human who isn’t feeling well or may be feeling emotional. They’re also highly intelligent, able to learn commands quickly. My rats know when to run to their cage for dinner, to do “paw,” chase their tail, stand, come when their name is called (even without food), etc. Truly the greatest pet I have ever had, and I have had a variety of pets in my years.
In response to this poor lady’s grief of the loss of her friend, this is real amongst all rat owners. These little buddies are so in tune with you and view you as one of their pack, one of their friends. They take care of you like you take care of them so when their short lives come to an end, you truly feel it in your heart.
I feel for her. I dread the moment that one of my 3 girls dies, thankfully they have at least 1.5 years left. Fancy rats (pet/domestic rats) are completely different from street rats and they make sweet and intelligent pets. My girls are very clean, they groom more than my cat does, and they are fully litter box trained. They are affectionate and playful, and a joy to keep.
@Skunky Stinkerson Oh that’s terribly sad... My heart goes out to you 💜💜 My rats love to groom each other- it’s really funny to watch them chase each other around to groom each other xD
I am a rat lover my self and have some rats so when her rat died I literally cried my eyes out I know someday they have to die but it’s just heart breaking
I have no judgement towards this woman. She’s not doing anything bad to anyone and she takes care of her pets. I actually felt sad for her when Blossom died
exactly. i have 12 rats and ive seen other people with that many or even less and they don't care for or clean and feed them enough. they get dirty and crowded. rats need constant care and as you get more it can get difficult but don't get them if you cant care for them. its expensive tho lol. i have 3 cages, 2 for my boys, both together hold 11 and there 7 in them, and my girls have one cage that holds 7 and there's 5 of them. they always have food and water and enrichment and space and friends- just some people don't care enough to give those simple basic needs, they only like having them to look at and not care for. its dissapointing
The love for these tiny creatures can never be underestimated. They live, feel and care. Their little hearts beat for a short time and it’s hard to not get attached to them. I had pet mice growing up as a child and I loved them. I wish they lived longer and I wish I knew what to feed them to extend their life expectancy. God made creatures great and small so we could love and care for them. This lady has a big heart for these little creatures. I appreciate her love and compassion for these tiny furry friends.
I have mantids and they don’t live long either,I hate watching them deteriorate when they get old,they loose their vision,they can’t hunt anymore and have to be hand fed due to arthritis,and eventually you have to make that tough choice of whether or not to let them go.
I feel the same way. I’ve lost five over the last year, and I broke just as hard every time. And we recently lost my fiancé’s chonk of a boy, the father of the rats we have now (I lost momma last July) just back in March. Granted he was two years old, so he was an old man. The scenario hits too close to home for me, as I have a girl right now, Diamond, with a golf ball sized lump on her side, just above her back leg. Unfortunately I can’t afford $400 to test if it’s cancerous, especially when the chances of it coming back stronger or losing her to the anesthesia are there as well. The only thing I can do for her is keep her comfy and happy until she decides it’s time. She doesn’t seem to be in pain so I can’t do much else. I think after watching this I need to go give her (and her adopted hairless sister, Wonder, who looks just like Blossom) some special lovin.
Omg...that got me at the end...I cried and got all chocked up. The ONLY thing wrong with pet ratties are their short lifespans. They are amazing, intelligent, loving little beings ❤️🐀🐁❤️
It can be surprising sometimes the places your heart leads you. We care about our pups and cats like they’re our “children”. Rats are like little pups! 😳
I’ve worked with rats for many years and i have never met a more sweet, calm, intelligent and well natured animal. They make great pets. Maybe 19 is a little excessive but they can be a very loving addition to a home
She is so caring and empathetic towards other living beings...I see nothing wrong with her but I hope she doesn't abandon her husband and the rest of the family either...
@@lotusgrl444 I don't think she free roams them all the time. You're supposed to let them get exercise or of the cage for like an hour a day. I felt like they just filmed that for the show. Most people don't let them run around like that because they could get hurt and she does have top of the line cages.
@Skunky Stinkerson Exactly! People just need to clean their cages more or give them bigger cages. Its just like going to someones house who owns cats. Having a cat only means a smelly house if you dont have enough litter boxes for the number of cats, or dont clean them regularly. Having a cat doesn't necessarily mean you have a smelly house. Something similar applies to rats. If you have adequate floor space for each rat, keep them in a ventilated area, and clean regularly, the smell just doesn't build up. You can even get paper pellet bedding with deodorizer already in it.
5 boys and 4 girls here. Just add a few little drops of organic raw apple cider vinegar with “mother” to their water. Not only is it good for them, it also helps the pee to not smell.
I bawled my eyes out for Blossom. I've been there :( Having 19 at once tho, there would be death so often which would be really hard. They clearly have wonderful lives though and I applaud her, also for standing up for wild rats (whether or not it did anything in this instance)! If people went around poisoning feral cats there would be an uproar. Rats should be no different!
Bless her heart for her efforts to try and reduce the purchase of mouse and rat poison. She isn’t going about it in an aggressive manner, she is respectfully asking the shop owner to consider not selling the poison and when he declined she accepted it and did what she could by buying some and disposing of it. Also, my heart goes out to her after losing Blossom 😔 It’s always hard choosing whether to put our little fur babies through surgery when they’re sick but you can tell how much she adored her and how much she loves and cares for all her rats. RIP Blossom 🌸
Imagine paying so much money at the vet, just to get out the door and find out it died... I feel so bad for her

I mean best case scenario you have maybe 3-5 years AT BEST with those rats, vs a lifetime with the person you are supposed to love... sure seems crazy obsessive to me....
@@lilykvist3163 honestly rats are one of the most sweet pets I had a pet mouse and he was so affectionate and loving sadly he died but he had a huge bond with me and my family RIP rex
You said it yourself. They're stereotyped as disgusting or ugly, and she has nineteen of them. Then she is literally mouth-to-mouth kissing them and compromising her marriage for them. That would indeed count under the category of a "crazy obsession" to most people. Enough that they could actually run a television segment about it and people voluntarily watch it.
Be happy that with this kind of exposure that people may think rats aren't so bad after all.

When Blossom passed away, my heart broke with this lady. I have ten rats and can’t imagine my life without them. They’re the most insightful and charismatic pets I’ve ever owned. RIP Blossom.
Thank God there are people out there which advocate for animals in the way that this woman does. I wish I could hug her and thank her for getting rid of that poison.
Rats are NOT gross! They clean themselves more than cats.
I love to say that rats are the best but also one of the most heartbreaking animals you can own, the amount of love they provide in such a small time is so incredible and I dont know why these angels are here but Im so happy to spend my time with them

@@orlandojohnson5742 Well thank you; that is a very good point. I was implying everything you just said when I said that I hope this woman is a Christian because there are no rats and animals in hell --- for what I was thinking when I wrote that was that this woman is investing all her energy in something which is so earthly and so temporal. I want you to be assured that I DO know, of course, that she is putting rats above her marriage and --- and I can only hope not above Jesus as well. Does that satisfy you? Those rats are cute, though, especially the one running on the countertop. I like the way it moves.
Her son is such a sweet guy and seems so mature for his age. And how he comforts her after blossom died was so sweet.
Too mature in fact. I hope he has a life of his own. But yes, he seems really sweet.
@TimTim & The BusyBodies! rats are pretty durable, they are fast. Its very unlikely she can crush them since they are flexible and they can squeeze out. And its also likely that she only did it for the video. Try not to overthink it
Yes, what an amazing boy
He reminds me of my son. Such sweet boys.
@TimTim & The BusyBodies! She has a huge enclosure for her rats. We see it in the video. She only let all the rats out and pretended they run amuck while she’s out the house for the cameras. I can almost say for certain when she can’t attend to them they are put into there enclosure like when she sleeps, works Etc.
What's with the horror music?! This loving lady and her rats are adorable. They obviously look well cared for and her house looks clean.
EXACTLY. Pet rats don't make someone a messy person or make them have a smelly house. It's only the people who were messy and didnt care about smells to begin with who end up with nasty rat cages and smelly houses. Ussually its the people breeding them for snake food who skimp on the care and cleaning, but sometimes its the people with pet rats who just happen to be lazy about upkeep.
I was gonna say the same thing. Rats aren't gross or scary they're adorable and affectionate little creatures. Nothing to dislike about them.
Because Hollywood is used to portraying them as worse than evil, lol

I kinda felt sorry for her husband. The rat passing was heart breaking though.
“My Crazy obsession,” dude some of these people have thousands of dolls or hundreds of Christmas trees in their homes, this lady having a few pet rats who she loves and cares for well is pretty damn normal. Rats are pretty intelligent and capable of being very affectionate companions.
Yeah, and in the grand scheme of things, is having 20 rats much different than having like 4-5 dogs?
@@Delinae I agree. It's lots easier honestly. I breed lots of pet rats and I've constantly got 1-3 times as many rats as this lady at any time. I keep around 20 adults for breeding and have anywhere from 0-50 baby rats nursing at a time. Its not that much work, or very expensive, especially if you have plenty of big nice enclosures and nice equipment. All of which is readily available for cheap on craigslist etx. Its especially cheap if you buy your food and bedding in bulk at feed barn type places. If you are short on cage space though itll smell really quickly. Luckily I only have to replace the bedding 2 or 3 times a week because i have loooots of big cages with plenty of floot space and tons of litter delivered on a set schedule from amazon. I have special water bottles that can be refilled without taking them off the cage, so food and water is just as easy as it is for a cat or dog. In my opinion, cleaning cages 2-3 times a week is arguably easier than taking multiple dogs out to pee and for walks, multiple times a day. A good rat is really a lot like a good dog too. They really care for their humans and seek out their approval. The only downside to rats is that they must be kept in groups of at least 2 because they are very social. Its easy to concince yourself to keep buying more, even if you dont let them breed, because you tell yourself 1 or 2 more rats isnt really much additional work, and before you know it you have 20 or more lol. They only live 2-3 years on average though, so as long as you can stop buying more for a couple years, eventually the issue will take care of itself so to speak.
@@alexcrowder1673 not having to wake up on time to take rats for walks is one of the reasons I have rats instead of dogs lol. Ny 3 give me a lot of work though. They're all little escape artists and fight each other a lot even though they're brothers.

I own 3 boys and there are the sweetest! Rats have a bad reputation but they are just such sweet and friendly animals :)
I currently have 32. I did a rescue of 8 and one of them was pregnant - she had 8 babies and then i took in 3 more. So this lady with 19 - I COMPLETELY understand her.
@@cherjii I have 3 girl rattos and they are very clean. I've had dogs that weren't as clean. My girls are constantly grooming themselves. They're my little babies and I love them so much. They are so smart and loving. I do plan on getting a couple more rattos in the future and wouldn't mind having boys at some point. I have a huge cage for them with lots of toys. I used to be a little scared of rats because I just wasn't sure of them. But my cousin had a pet rat and I just fell in love with her. I do know now though that they shouldn't be alone and need other rat friends.
I don’t see anything wrong with this woman. She just genuinely cares for animals and loves her rats like her own children. Who can blame her really. I got a little teary when Blossom died. RIP Blossom.
Agreed! You can definitely tell she cares. (Honestly I should be on this show as I had 24 rats at one point. Down to 17 right now.)
Poor Blossom 😥
I did too, RIP Blossom. I would be just as sad if one of my rats died.
RIP little blossom....🥺💖❤🧡
It hit me really hard cuz I just lost one of my rats last week. They are such beautiful souls who don't get nearly enough time on earth
The world is a better place because we have someone like her
YES
Someone who likes rats more than her husband. lol.
The only problematic thing is her buying rat poisons and stuff, she’s gotta learn sometimes you can’t afford to do anything like that and her marriage is over. Otherwise loving your animals and properly caring for them isn’t bad.
The problem is that she's indirectly supporting the manufacture and sale of rat poison. She's giving the company financial incentive to continue making and selling the product by creating a faux demand for it. They don't care that it's being tossed because it's still making them money.
She said she's been owning rats since she was 16, it's her husband's fault, he knew she liked rats when they got married. I do agree with what you said about the rat poison tho
The rat poison thing was so weird and unrealistic that I feel like it was one of those scripted moments reality shows make people do to add drama and make her look crazy.
@@katiedyson3459 it honestly seemed that their problems were way deeper than just the rats.

The rats are her coping mechanisms. We dont know what kind of trauma has she been threw. Kudos to her for being able to care for rats the way some ppl treat dogs n cats.
It's clear she has given up on men and relationships and found these rats instead. She said they dont judge her. It's clear she has had some bad relationships.

She doesn’t even need trauma to justify it man if she likes rats and she cares for them well then whatever it’s cool

Don't get rats from a pet store. Get them a from a breeder. Never support that kind of cruelty
@@ciennaborland8124 louder for the people in the back!!
@@ciennaborland8124 but why?
@@asharizz.3786 because the way animals are obtained for pet stores is horrific!! They are bred in small plastic boxes and kept there with minimal water and food with tens of there own kind most likely not even the same litter sitting in there own urine and people wonder why most of the animals don't last or end up having diseases. Search it up. And don't support
So, what, are we supposed to just let the animal stay in the pet store until it's the end of the line and they are put down instead of giving them a second chance at life by taking them out of there? Shouldn't they be allowed such a chance too, much like abandoned dogs are at shelters?
No problem with her rats, just the fact that she hides the rat poison in diff alleys is funnily unnecessary. Anyway, good for her if she’s happy, that’s all that matters
She’s gross.
YES, people need to be more proud about what they’re happy doing, like be yourself even if people think you’re weird. Everyone is weird somehow, it’s just a mix of society and your point of view.
If the woman is happy, let her be happy!👏
Edit: unless it hurts others, then it’s just straight wrong.
Like her hiding the poisoning, I understand it’s killing the rats but there are some rats out there carrying diseases and can seriously harm people. Sometimes the seemingly harmless animals have to die in some circumstances.

I actually cried when blossom died. Poor girl rest in peace
Same, I cried to Rest In Peace baby girl 😞🥺
I started tearing up as well. I have a girl right now, Diamond, who has a golf ball sized growth on her side, but we can’t afford the $400 surgery to remove it (which is only to test if it’s cancerous or not) and the vet said it could come back even stronger and there’s a chance she could die from the anesthesia, because of their tiny respiratory systems. I didn’t wanna pay $400 to go home without my baby girl. She’s been through so much already. When she was a baby she got her neck caught in the corner of the cage door because she started slipping out without my fiancé’s knowledge while he was closing it, (I’m talking he had the door fully closed once he noticed her up there and there’s not even enough room to get a finger through that stop) and she made it out with nothing but some bruising, and she ended up being the most lay full and energetic out of her sisters. I’ve lost five girls over the last year, and it still breaks my heart every single time. I cried for a good half hour when I noticed her lump, because I couldn’t handle the thought of losing another one. The only thing we can do is keep her happy and comfortable until she decides it’s time to go. It kills me to see her like this, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain, so there isn’t too much I can do for her. And other than having a golf ball growing from her side she seems perfectly okay. I think after watching this I need to go give my girls some love, and some extra special attention to my hairless, Wonder. Blossom looked just like her.
felt her pain :'( losing a pet hurts so much
Same omg that was so sad
soft
The fact they recorded her with blossom is just heart breaking and shows how much most humans don’t care about others..
I says this respectfully but she did agree to this
I was so shocked when Blossom passed away. I wouldn't expect them to show that because I doubt they would have with someone losing a dog or cat. I've been where she is and losing a rat is just as painful. At least most of the people in the comments seem to have a big heart.

I was so happy to come to the comments to see most being so supportive of this woman and her pets !! I admittedly stigmatized rats as well, until my daughter wanted one so bad , I tried to talk her out of it, finally I decided we would try it , she picked one out and suddenly I see this creature who treats my daughter so well, teaches her responsibility, nurturing and more. And it turns out I'd recommend a rat over a hamster for kids specifically (although I have and love a hamster he isnt as social, playful or patient for an with children as the 2 rats we now have are. And I feel are better for adults )

RIP blossom, such a sweet girl :( the problem with surgery on small animals is that their bodies can only take so much, and with such a large tumor, it may have been cancerous. Female usually get tumors right on their arms and are normally fatal. At least Blossom was with her mommy the whole time
Rip 😔
The decision to operate on them is such a difficult one. Mammary tumors normally aren't cancerous on rats, the problem is that they keep growing to the point that it impacts their quality of life. With my rats, I usually chose not to operate but they eventually would need to be PTS because the mammary tumors grow so large and it wasn't fair for them to deal with.
Rest in peace, sweet Blossom.
I had a rat put down because of a large tumor. It was heartbreaking. She and her sister were my babies and it was so hard to lose them. They both died right in my arms. I'm glad I was with them till the very end.

I have both male and female rats. The girls don't really a smell except when they're in heat (every 3 to 5 days) and even then it's very faint and not unpleasant, kinda like coconut.
Intact boys smell more neutered boys, and neuteres boys smell more than girls but it's not bad unless they have poor living conditions. The boys kinda smell faintly of...new sewing fabric?

CPR that can’t do on the rat but she died that woman has a really good heart she got surgery to remove a tumor and died after that doctor took the tumor out and small to do that is not fair that was gone after that like that man said was really risky that went really wrong 😳😵
Many rats do survive surgery with a exotic specialist and a younger rat will have better life chances overall with removal. She would still need to be put to sleep if they didn't remove the tumour unfortunately. She has no way to know the future, she made the best decision at the time that she could. Surgery in this case would probably have survival rates. It's a difficult decision to make, but even the surgeries with the highest success rates have people who don't survive unfortunately. I do feel bad for blossom, and I'm sure she will feel guilt over this even when she made the best decision she could at the time. I've been there too, and it's always difficult. Sometimes you need others to remind you that you did your best.
That's why people don't spend money on surgeries for very small animals, as there little hearts usually cant take the stress of surgeries.
Rats are amazing pets. So misunderstood, but extremely intelligent (and emotionally intelligent!). There have been studies that clearly show that rats have empathy.

I have a white-grey one called Mokita, a white one with a really light crème on the back that's called Whisky (she is getting blind and deaf btw but don't worry she is still a happy girl) and i got a naked dumbo rat called Misty who had really rough skin but is cured now. I always had pet rats but now that i am living on my own i can't function without them💖
She's so sweet. I actually felt her pain when Blossom died 😔
NOOO I DIDNT FINISH THE VHDEO I KNEW SHE WAS GONNA DIE 😭
My daughter had a guinea pig named blossom too! Unfortunately all the little 8-12 pigs died & my kids grew up! In their 20’s now! Pets are good for training your kids to love & be responsible! But pets have no soul & man is a different creature (with a soul!)!
When I was a child I did childish things when I became a man I put away childish things! We have to grow as Christians to love man more than worldly possessions! Man has dominion over animals & should always use them to benefit & NOT ABUSE ANIMALS TRUE ENOUGH!
But don’t put animals before your marriage or loving your neighbor!
Pet rats are just adorable, smart and lovable. Make sure to learn about their care before jumping in, but they are special and so much to love.
That lady is no where near crazy, she has a kind and loving heart towards rats and she stands up for them. She has a great heart and no one should judge her for trying to save rats.
The son is so nice and caring. You can tell he really loves his mom
Hello Sarah👋 thanks for sharing. How are you doing today?
And thats another prove that his mom is a good lady🥺
That's so sad how she just came out of the vet and blossom had died :(
she and Bruno Madrigal would TOTALLY connect on a spiritual level😂
It was not a crazy obsession. It was so wholesome and I cried a lot. What an extremely empathetic human being
People have to sleep outside you know and rats are very dangerous. Would you want to try n sleep on the ground with rats around? You guys are so selfish thinking its cool to stop buisness owners/ restaurants from being able to eliminate a art problem.. Like get a life .
Better yet go live in Africa Please
hypocrite rat lovers I drown pest rat caught in my smart trap chew on that it's a lot of fun XD
@@user-a6k9i6n9o6M😭😭
This isn’t a crazy obsession. If she had 357 rats living in her fridge cuz she liked the way they lived in the fridge, then yeah. Crazy. She’s a nice rat mom. Y’all awful for making her look crazy. #R.I.PBlossom
Rats aren't gross. They're very affectionate and playful.
Right?? They are the most wonderful little guys!! I have 3 and I love them all to pieces. I'd have more if it wasn't for my husband. Maybe I should be like her and kick him out and get more!!
thank you
Thank you I have 2 sweet rats that are always stereotyped
Yeah! Have 5 of them and they are so lovely!
Yep! I had two as pets and loved them. My oldest now wants a pet rat 🐀 ❤️. As long as my husband agrees to it, I want to get her one. They aren’t gross. They are adorable and loving. The ONLY thing I don’t care for about rats is their tails… only bc they remind me of snakes.
She is obviously a very kind and caring soul, watching her when blossom passed broke my heart :(
This production company could have portrayed this in a better light. Rats are some of the greatest pets a person could have. They are highly emotionally in tune. They are highly social animals, enjoying snuggle time with their humans, sharing good with their humans, and knowing when to “groom” a human who isn’t feeling well or may be feeling emotional. They’re also highly intelligent, able to learn commands quickly. My rats know when to run to their cage for dinner, to do “paw,” chase their tail, stand, come when their name is called (even without food), etc. Truly the greatest pet I have ever had, and I have had a variety of pets in my years.
In response to this poor lady’s grief of the loss of her friend, this is real amongst all rat owners. These little buddies are so in tune with you and view you as one of their pack, one of their friends. They take care of you like you take care of them so when their short lives come to an end, you truly feel it in your heart.
I'd choose 19 rats over that guy too. 🤷🏽♀️
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Lamo same
id choose 19 rats over men any day 😳
(coughs in likes women)
@@caliicocam7809 hah same
@@lemonzyt Well wouldn't you choose your dog over your unhealthy marrige?
She has such a huge heart. I wish there was more people who cared for all animals as much as she does
At the expense of her marriage. But what the heck. I'm just saying she should have never gotten married, and just been a "rat lady"...
I'm like that with pigeons lol but they become you're life anything that happens to them will hurt you a thousand times.
"I love rats more than I love people". Relatable. So relatable.
Why are they making her seem creepy, rats are beautiful and loving animals that you can create a bond with.
Rat owners be shaking their head when they hear the horror music at the start of this video. Rats are amazing. Period.
I feel for her. I dread the moment that one of my 3 girls dies, thankfully they have at least 1.5 years left. Fancy rats (pet/domestic rats) are completely different from street rats and they make sweet and intelligent pets. My girls are very clean, they groom more than my cat does, and they are fully litter box trained. They are affectionate and playful, and a joy to keep.
@Skunky Stinkerson Oh that’s terribly sad... My heart goes out to you 💜💜 My rats love to groom each other- it’s really funny to watch them chase each other around to groom each other xD
I am a rat lover my self and have some rats so when her rat died I literally cried my eyes out I know someday they have to die but it’s just heart breaking
It’s crazy unfair that such smart and loving animals only get to live such a short while.
I was so heartbroken when Blossom died :( rest in peace ❤
Wow, I actually cried at the end. She’s a loving person and I wish her and his son all the best!
I have no judgement towards this woman. She’s not doing anything bad to anyone and she takes care of her pets. I actually felt sad for her when Blossom died
She’s very good to her rats. Normally I see hoarders of rats and it makes me sick. She truly cares. I really like her. She’s got a great vibe.
exactly. i have 12 rats and ive seen other people with that many or even less and they don't care for or clean and feed them enough. they get dirty and crowded. rats need constant care and as you get more it can get difficult but don't get them if you cant care for them. its expensive tho lol. i have 3 cages, 2 for my boys, both together hold 11 and there 7 in them, and my girls have one cage that holds 7 and there's 5 of them. they always have food and water and enrichment and space and friends- just some people don't care enough to give those simple basic needs, they only like having them to look at and not care for. its dissapointing
The way this women is with her rats is how 98 % of rat owners are . We just love our pets like any dog owner t will be ir cat owner will be
Same
The love for these tiny creatures can never be underestimated. They live, feel and care. Their little hearts beat for a short time and it’s hard to not get attached to them. I had pet mice growing up as a child and I loved them. I wish they lived longer and I wish I knew what to feed them to extend their life expectancy. God made creatures great and small so we could love and care for them. This lady has a big heart for these little creatures. I appreciate her love and compassion for these tiny furry friends.
Hello Barbara👋 thanks for sharing. God bless you, have a blessed day
I have mantids and they don’t live long either,I hate watching them deteriorate when they get old,they loose their vision,they can’t hunt anymore and have to be hand fed due to arthritis,and eventually you have to make that tough choice of whether or not to let them go.
As an “ex” rat owner who has lost 6 rats and watching the dying.. watching blossom dying was...
I can’t..
I feel the same way. I’ve lost five over the last year, and I broke just as hard every time. And we recently lost my fiancé’s chonk of a boy, the father of the rats we have now (I lost momma last July) just back in March. Granted he was two years old, so he was an old man.
The scenario hits too close to home for me, as I have a girl right now, Diamond, with a golf ball sized lump on her side, just above her back leg. Unfortunately I can’t afford $400 to test if it’s cancerous, especially when the chances of it coming back stronger or losing her to the anesthesia are there as well. The only thing I can do for her is keep her comfy and happy until she decides it’s time. She doesn’t seem to be in pain so I can’t do much else.
I think after watching this I need to go give her (and her adopted hairless sister, Wonder, who looks just like Blossom) some special lovin.
Ik this video literally made me cry. I watched all but one of my rats die. Its so awful.
I lost 2 turtle and the last was given in her abitat cause from me are illegal the other literally fell of the window and commited suicide
I feel the same way..😭😭😭😭
I had two pet rats that passed away. Broke my heart 💔
Omg...that got me at the end...I cried and got all chocked up. The ONLY thing wrong with pet ratties are their short lifespans. They are amazing, intelligent, loving little beings ❤️🐀🐁❤️
It can be surprising sometimes the places your heart leads you. We care about our pups and cats like they’re our “children”. Rats are like little pups! 😳
Fun fact: ratatouille
ratatouuuuuuuuillee
🙈🤣🤣🤣they are not common rats 🐀 they are breed ones.
Rémy is the name of the rat lol
🤣
I’ve worked with rats for many years and i have never met a more sweet, calm, intelligent and well natured animal. They make great pets. Maybe 19 is a little excessive but they can be a very loving addition to a home
"when i die, i'm going up there and there's gonna be a ton of rats waiting for me" i was feeling bad for her an all but this made me laugh
I think she was saying that her past rats are waiting to meet her. I'm not a big fan of rats myself but I can tell this lady has a beautiful heart.
Glad she ditched the husband lmao. Imagine being that upset about your wife's pets!!
She is so caring and empathetic towards other living beings...I see nothing wrong with her but I hope she doesn't abandon her husband and the rest of the family either...
RIP Blossom. I bet she loved Shauntel right back. She'll be waiting for her in heaven 🐁❤💛💚💙💜🐁
“i love rats more than people” honestly? me too.
so sad about blossom. this lady is a treasure
This made me cry, such a beautiful woman, and her rats are just absolutely adorable, rest in peace Blossom🌸🙏🌸
Her rats are pretty cute tbh.
As someone who has two lazy boys, I can't imagine the smell, let alone the territorial peeing
so true! especially since she has 19 of them and run loose in the house...
I have 4 female rats lol haha and they can get smelly haha. I love how dedicated she is to them.
@@lotusgrl444 I don't think she free roams them all the time. You're supposed to let them get exercise or of the cage for like an hour a day. I felt like they just filmed that for the show. Most people don't let them run around like that because they could get hurt and she does have top of the line cages.
@Skunky Stinkerson Exactly! People just need to clean their cages more or give them bigger cages. Its just like going to someones house who owns cats. Having a cat only means a smelly house if you dont have enough litter boxes for the number of cats, or dont clean them regularly. Having a cat doesn't necessarily mean you have a smelly house. Something similar applies to rats. If you have adequate floor space for each rat, keep them in a ventilated area, and clean regularly, the smell just doesn't build up. You can even get paper pellet bedding with deodorizer already in it.
5 boys and 4 girls here. Just add a few little drops of organic raw apple cider vinegar with “mother” to their water. Not only is it good for them, it also helps the pee to not smell.
I felt so bad about blossom, she was such a cute baby, and that lady has a very kinda warm heart ❤️
I bawled my eyes out for Blossom. I've been there :( Having 19 at once tho, there would be death so often which would be really hard. They clearly have wonderful lives though and I applaud her, also for standing up for wild rats (whether or not it did anything in this instance)! If people went around poisoning feral cats there would be an uproar. Rats should be no different!
Bruh pet rats are so cute?! Like?! How can you dislike them?! I have 2 pet rats Ashe and Emooji
They're soooo sweet and friendly!
When blossom was all drowsy after surgery it was the most precious thing ever 😭💔 Rest In Peace sweet girl..
Bless her heart for her efforts to try and reduce the purchase of mouse and rat poison. She isn’t going about it in an aggressive manner, she is respectfully asking the shop owner to consider not selling the poison and when he declined she accepted it and did what she could by buying some and disposing of it.
Also, my heart goes out to her after losing Blossom 😔 It’s always hard choosing whether to put our little fur babies through surgery when they’re sick but you can tell how much she adored her and how much she loves and cares for all her rats.
RIP Blossom 🌸
RIP blossom 💔😢
seriously RIP 🥺🥺🥺
