While rats in general may not be so cuddly always remember the golden rule, all animals are different and have different personalities. Rats normally socialize with other rats and need that socialization. I picked mine because he did not like the company of other rats. He was always aggressive towards other rats even his own brood but when he was either solitary or with just me or other people he seemed to always be his happiest. He was also very cuddly and as weird as it sounds he would sometimes sleep with me. I fell asleep after a long day while I was playing with him and forgot to put him back, I woke up about to freak out that he got away only to see him sleeping next to me. It was very sweet.
That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you meet an animal that is different than the rest. My rat Dean was like a dog in a rats body. So strange. He was a free roam rat on the sailboat we lived in. He chose to sleep next to me in bed almost every night. He'd still be there in the morning too. Run over to me from his favorite cubby across the boat and over to the bed right into my lap and flop down. I could always tell he was coming for me because he would run with this special quickness. He just exuded confidence and always did even when he was the smaller rat. When I met him he was in a tiny tank with a bunch of other babies. I put my hand in and he immediately walked out of the crowd all confident and jumped in my hand. Wouldn't jump off. I paid two dollars for his life. God I miss him Sorry. I just wanted someone to know about Dean.
(based on my past rats) Expectation: They won't go into that one hole when it's covered in books and because they have the whole apartment. Reality: They get into the hole...
Expectation: you'll have a bestie forever! Reality: you only have them a few years. You get so attached to the little bums! You love them, care for them, and basically treat them like a human kid. Then next thing you know, they are considered "old" and then you worry about them "leaving". Damn you furry (and not furry) little balls of love squishes, why can't you live as long as a dog or cat, or even bunny?
the way my boys greet anyone who comes into the room is by pretending they havent been fed in at least three months! they just hang on to the bars, stick their paws out and get all jiggly ... even if I have only been gone for two minutes
Same! It doesn’t help that my mom and brother constantly give in and feed them Cheerios - they know if they just look pleadingly through the bars and maybe stuck out a paw, they’ll get whatever they want!
Many years ago I had a pet rat, she would love to sleep on the back of my neck when I had a hooded jumper on, she would just stay there while I did shopping and all that, people would always stop and pet her whenever they noticed the tail hanging down, she was such a friendly little critter and everyone loved her
the homes I visited before getting rats myself never smelled that bad so I was like "itll be okay" but now my room just smells like I keep at least 5 panthers and 3 grizzly bears in here
That's hilarious! And everything is so true! Have you ever had that moment where you're trying to fairly distribute the treats, and one rattie steals from another and you have to give everyone one more because their cute pleading faces convince you they NEED one more 😂😂😂
Ahh, I knew I was missing something! Yes, every single time I try to give each rat a treat, by the time I finish the first is back to giving me sad eyes because they want another! It’s a never ending cycle!
Shadow The Rat if you haven't seen the page Dapper Rat you are seriously missing out! It's absolutely hilarious! The middle menu at the top has a chapter about treat triggers! I think you'll enjoy every comic there XD www.dapper.com.au/ramblings.htm#triggers
expectation: i want a rat who reaches 1,60 m height when she stands on her hindlegs Reality: they are all small and just go to 40-50cm without tail in lenght when you take the really big ones =(
I didn't know rats could bark. My hamster never lets me get beyond reality, but I love her anyway. I enjoy watching your rats, whether they're cooperating or not. Thank you for sharing them with us.
I have two rats Loki and Thor and each one is different form the other. Loki is very calm and listens while Thor not so much. Also Loki loves cuddles and when they are sleeping Thor literally rocks Loki to sleep and it's the cutest in the world. Rats are a bit hard to care for but they do make great pets in my opinion. They may not always listen, come when called, be playful 24/7 but they're pretty great pets in my opinion.
....... I HAVE TWO RATS ONE BLACKISH GREY THE OTHER TANISH GOLD I MISSED OUT ON A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO NAME THEM THOR AND LOKI!!!!!!!! .... Then again its still not to late they haven't learned their names they have now.
I swear I thought it would be so much fun to play with my rats and teach them little tricks... but they are neither interested in toys, nor training xD They just wanna walk through the apartment and chase each other
aww, so cute and very very true! Everytime I think I've got rats pinned down, they continue to surprise me and teach me something new. I've just learned you gotta go with the flow!
I just got my very first rattie babies - 3 boys. And I love that the expectations CAN be true, but only SOMETIMES. They can be super cuddly, and then super uninterested in you. They're fickle. Like kids. But they are so sweet and funny. They always make me smile. They are just 6 weeks old, so I'm just starting my journey. Love your videos. Thanks.
I'm late but Expectation: Potty training OK HERE WE GO there's a litter bin right in the corner with rocks.. and a bit of water.. PERFECTION Reality: WHY ARE YOU ALL POOPING EVERYWHERE- AND RIGHT NEXT TO IT! POOP IN IT NOT NEXT TO IT! sakaaaalbwrddrzknzlaaln
My 1st rat learned to use a litterbox after he was out of his cage for about 12 hours (I was gone for the day) and he saw out cat use her litterbox. They bother came to meet me at the front door when I came home. Of course he also found a new bag of Hershey's Nuggets and I found partially eaten Nuggets secreted all over the apartment when I moved out.
My Two older boys use the litter bin, whereas the three younger boys (about 6 weeks) find it to be a great bed. Regardless of the 3million baskets/ hammocks hanging around
I havent even thought about training my rats, so idk if its a coincidence but my girls for some reason listen to me when i go "oi you two come here" like i dont get why they do it but they just both come bounding over, and they do it like almost every time
When I was a teenager I had a few rats, my first one was special. Constantly chilling on my shoulder, whenever I was playing video games, watching tv, even just walking around the house and would follow me like a puppy.
Me and my sister each got a rat when we were young, but for whatever reason we never named them, they were "My Rat" and "Her Rat" etc. Hers was very sweet but mine was scared of everyone but me
I love rats, I’ve had many throughout my life and they all hold a special place in my heart. They all had a distinct personality, some were out going, others just liked to cuddle, some liked going for walks my biggest one (he was huge) was scared of everything lol
The "getting along" part is accurate. I have two rats. They're funny because they love to cuddle, but then Harry likes to bully his little brother. He pins Prince down, then aggressively grooms him while he squeaks in protest, like what your rats did.
Shadow The Rat alright I will but she had seven babies and she’s being a good mom rn but the I didn’t even know she was pregnant the pet store said they were both boys ahhh
Oh dear, make sure to separate her and her cagemate as they can mate again right after birth! I hear its a good idea to use a bin cage or tank when the babies are young to avoid injuries from falls and such, it might be worth making a bin cage just for the next two weeks. Otherwise I wish them luck, feed the mother lots of protein foods for her hard work, poor fluff will need it!
Shadow The Rat yeah the same hours she gave birth to all her babies we went out and got a cage for my other rat rico they are separated and doing well I’m going to be looking at diys to make them a bed and I’ve been asking around to about how to care for them
@@rawrrico You don't have to do anything, mama does it all. Just give her things to make a nest out of. I gave mine shredded news paper. And male rats have giant balls, so if they dont have giant balls, its a girl.
That cuddling one hit home. It of all my rats, Hazel is the only one that will actually sit still for that and that's only if we're wrapped in a fluffy blanket
Thank you for this video. I am a new rat owner and thought I wasn't a good one because my rats were like in the reality check parts. For the greeting part, I am guess I somewhat luckier as they really do come to me...And check if I have food for them lol!
Alot of the expectations were true for me but so were alot of the realitys. I love evry aspect of rats apart from cleaning there cage but even then it's nice to decorate it and see them explore. Also, I love your raties! 😄
I had a rat as a kid. My first pet that was just mine and not a family pet like our dog. She was the best. Super friendly. Loved to be handled, ride on your shoulder, and run around the room. She would run to the top of her cage every time i came down the hall after school to get her out. She never ran from me. Never bit me, even if my hands smelled like food. Sweetest girl. I miss her. Wish they lived longer.
Shadow The Rat hahaha in everything from the reality section is my fancy rat world but just can't not fall in love with them lol. I'm so excited I finally found a second hand critter nation 2 story cage for them. Sorry I just really wanted to tell someone. My pets, rats and my dog have always been mine and my daughters but she moved away for school and I'm the only one now to take care of my girls so I don't have have many people to talk to about them. The cage is huge and my babies are 5 months old you can imagine the room for them to play in lol
The rat I had was supposed to be snake food, snake wasn’t hungry so I adopted him. Didn’t train him or anything but he’d watch tv with me on the couch.
Coming when called: Your expectation is actually my reality! Granted, they've never had much aptitude for learning tricks, and that's just fine, but they always come running when they know there's a treat involved! Also, in your reality segment of 'Getting along' I got to say, the behavior in the footage you showed is rather tame compared to my two. I kid you not, it sounds like bloody murder, but every time I go to check, they stare up at me like I'm stupid or something: 'Whaddya want? Yer interrupting our fun! Do you have food? No? Then go away cuz we're playin!' They are definitely louder and more aggressive than yours towards each other, but they were raised together, and are completely inseparable!
My rat was adopted after we spent a semester doing the Skinner Box experiment and oh boy, let me tell you how hard it was to train that little boy. Now I don't even want to train him anymore, I don't wanna remember the report I had to make on that thing and how long it took him to press the bar
I used to have an albino rat when I was a kid, he used to jump up on my lap while I was eating and would then pinch my food off me and run under the couch with it xD
I've had the Joy of Ratties for last 20 years now...but, like any Life...have to RESPECT THEM ON THEIR TERMS ❤ ANIMALS ARE NOT TOYS! Just accept them as they are! And Enjoy them for themselves! As US Real Animal Respects DO! ❤
Такие миленькие и умненькие. У меня тоже были два любимых крысачка Боря и Тёма. Они были такие добрые и ласковые, дружили с попугаем. Они прожили со мной почти 3 года. Очень тяжело, когда они умирают.
Warning: Rats may look like miniature teddy bears, but this is a ploy to steal your cheerios and attempt to ride your shoulder.
So true! They robbed me of hundred of cheerios and gerber puffs, the fiends! XD
I tried having Riley bite a peice of gerber puff off the whole puff after spinning but she stole the whole thing and ran away with it. Heather did the same.
True story

Sorry. I just wanted someone to know about Dean.
@@paigedavis1704 Dean sounds like a great sea-worthy rat lol
Davien McCarty one of my old rats used to do that. One I still have just puts herself to bed as she can jump from my bed to her cage
I did this today I'm glad he's not much of a runner
Expectations: rats playing with several toys and you
Reality: Plays with one toy and runs from you
Expectation: Playing games and training.
Reality: POOP EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME
ThexVaultxTech TRUE
The Vault Tech well... that's how rodents are lmao Just like my Chinese hamster he shits everywhere
At least they're tiny turds that are easy to clean up! 💩💩😂
My chins are shitting machines I swear.
My rats don’t do that theyvwait to poop till there in there cage
(based on my past rats)
Expectation: They won't go into that one hole when it's covered in books and because they have the whole apartment.
Reality: They get into the hole...
NanaCh@n This is SO true
EXACTLY
So very true. Look at all this play area and Yoggies and other treats, but they run behind the book shelf. ARGH!!!
So true
Yes this is so true 😂
Expectation: you'll have a bestie forever!
Reality: you only have them a few years.
You get so attached to the little bums! You love them, care for them, and basically treat them like a human kid. Then next thing you know, they are considered "old" and then you worry about them "leaving". Damn you furry (and not furry) little balls of love squishes, why can't you live as long as a dog or cat, or even bunny?
Someone in the bio-engineering industry seriously needs to work out how to increase Rats life-spans.
@@tristanbackup2536They'll. Cuz whatever increase human life-spans is testing on Rats first.
the way my boys greet anyone who comes into the room is by pretending they havent been fed in at least three months!
they just hang on to the bars, stick their paws out and get all jiggly ... even if I have only been gone for two minutes
Same! It doesn’t help that my mom and brother constantly give in and feed them Cheerios - they know if they just look pleadingly through the bars and maybe stuck out a paw, they’ll get whatever they want!
You should see the way my rats greet my python.
i love it
Spaceman Spliff Uhm.. no thanks.
Mine chews the bars for attention and food. I just wish he'd chosen something quieter.

Legit question: How do you deal with their water needs when carrying them around for extended periods of time?
@@gaterzoom cucumbers as an example, usefull in long trips aswell
Expectation: It’s gonna smell bad
Reality: It smells worse than bad 😂
Koko Kringle YES! 😂❤️👍
the homes I visited before getting rats myself never smelled that bad so I was like "itll be okay" but now my room just smells like I keep at least 5 panthers and 3 grizzly bears in here
xD
I never had this issue with mine. Makes me wonder how often you clean out the cage. Do you clean the cage its self when you do?
Miranda Cunningham every 2-3 days, cage itself every month
That's hilarious! And everything is so true! Have you ever had that moment where you're trying to fairly distribute the treats, and one rattie steals from another and you have to give everyone one more because their cute pleading faces convince you they NEED one more 😂😂😂
Ahh, I knew I was missing something! Yes, every single time I try to give each rat a treat, by the time I finish the first is back to giving me sad eyes because they want another! It’s a never ending cycle!
The struggle is real!! And their faces are so cute and sad without a treat! 😂

I think you'll enjoy every comic there XD

JourneyWithKai omg this happens to me all the time and I know I should not be giving them treats but you can't say no to there little faces 🐁🐁
JourneyWithKai omg yasss mom rat problems haha
Expectation: I will be buried in rats and become the Rat King
Reality: idk, but probably my expectations are totally realistic
@Noodle Poodle YES OMG!!!
expectation: i want a rat who reaches 1,60 m height when she stands on her hindlegs
Reality: they are all small and just go to 40-50cm without tail in lenght when you take the really big ones =(
I don’t think you know what a rat king is 😰

Крысы умеют еще и шипеть, как кошки или мурены. Это крайняя степень защиты и крайняя степень испуга.

What perfect names for their personalities!
omfg my boys are named the same Thor is big and grey while Loki is small ,grey and white
....... I HAVE TWO RATS ONE BLACKISH GREY THE OTHER TANISH GOLD I MISSED OUT ON A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO NAME THEM THOR AND LOKI!!!!!!!! .... Then again its still not to late they haven't learned their names they have now.
They are not too hard to care for, but their sweetness makes it worth it.
Btw...my 3 ratting are Ratatat, Brat, (or B.Ràt) and Spirit . Love them!
Expectations : they love you
REALITY : they like you but they hate you a little bit
I wish life was only expetive
my rats are pretty much exactly like the expectation clips :’) except for the training things ,, guess i’m very lucky
same here!
Same
I've got a fancy rat
And his name is James
Спокойной ночи котёнок мой маленький...люблю тебя малыш 1
The unfortunate part of the last bit is that as much as we want them to they do not last all that long. Great times while they can be had though.
So true :(
0:52 I love how he just waddles away like nope!
Yup, Cream was tired of me trying to film clips of picking her up :P
Shadow The Rat lol she looks like our old rat boo. And sorry I meant she not he. ;P
Expectation: they will be no fight between them
Reality : WWE
@0:13
Haha! You taught your rat to run backwards. That's the funniest thing I've seen all day
I swear I thought it would be so much fun to play with my rats and teach them little tricks...
but they are neither interested in toys, nor training xD They just wanna walk through the apartment and chase each other
This makes me smile but also a little sad. I had two pet rats but they died of cancer.
R. I. P. Vanilla and Quest
all of these are the cutest things ive ever seen
aww, so cute and very very true!
Everytime I think I've got rats pinned down, they continue to surprise me and teach me something new.
I've just learned you gotta go with the flow!
So true! :)
I used to have a rat named Lola, she was adorable and sweet, but sadly died this year, I love watching these because it makes me think of her😊
When you said loving your rats as an expectation I was like
*_”hol’ up-“_*
I'm so glad that's the reality of handling fancy rats 😭 I swear I thought I wasn't bonding with mine 🐁🐀
the ending was too wholesome
The cheesyness was necessary, I just couldn’t resist!
I just got my very first rattie babies - 3 boys. And I love that the expectations CAN be true, but only SOMETIMES. They can be super cuddly, and then super uninterested in you. They're fickle. Like kids. But they are so sweet and funny. They always make me smile. They are just 6 weeks old, so I'm just starting my journey. Love your videos. Thanks.
Seeing them being naughty and not listening actually makes me like them more
Samee I think its sweet to see their personality's
I am watching this as my rat is running around and no where near wanting cuddles
I'm late but
Expectation: Potty training
OK HERE WE GO there's a litter bin right in the corner with rocks.. and a bit of water.. PERFECTION

My rat is one of my most cuddly animals. I have two boy rats and they always lay in my arms and listen to me when i ask.
Такие миленькие и умненькие. У меня тоже были два любимых крысачка Боря и Тёма. Они были такие добрые и ласковые, дружили с попугаем. Они прожили со мной почти 3 года. Очень тяжело, когда они умирают.
These are so true lmao
My rats were literally pasted to the side of the cage to greet me, lol.
More like reality vs reality
Lovely video. Thank you very much😊💖
They are so cute!
Good video. They really do make great pets.. they were very sweet with you.
Quick question: what do you use as your bottom level tub in your cage??
Im glad she is making these videos because if she only showed the good things, everyone would just buy rats without knowing the cons
i love when rats get it into their heads that they must Run for no discernable reason
This was quite possibly the cutest video ive seen besides cat videos. Keep up the great wOrk shadow
4:44 the white one is awake but the others asleep!
Hi, just wanted to say really enjoy your videos, they are informative and fun and I can't wait to interact fully now with my boys. Thank you

I have two for a month now and I love them to bits. I don't call them rat's, id rather say. Where's my boys.
Latte's quite greedy!! Love that personality!
Im such a big fan, and I don't even have rats! XD
Thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you. Not many rat owners show how rats can be offside.
ACCURATE AF
My rats really only want me for the treats lmao. That and hiding in my shirt
That's not true Kyrs they groom you don't they? They love you
I feel like pet rats are the living embodiment of the gru meme, with the first panel always saying "I obtain a pet rat"
The sound XD
Yeah that sound hurts my ears...
My rat came to me all the time. He knew who had the treats.

Can relate to all of this LOL my ratties are my babies but sometimes they are the most stubborn little stinkers out there.
So true :P

You can't stop
Rats are some of the best pets I’ve ever had. Definitely the best small pets.
My fancy rats get along, try training them with a cat around
Arwynne Roulston makes sense
I love my rats vuy it kinda hard to train them when I have 4 cats
Did you just give that rat a High five, okay that’s awesome
You should expect a cute little friend who likes riding on shoulders
Reality: They like hopping down shirts just as much, its like a warm cave to explore.
How cute! What a fun video!
