Since my daughter started keeping rats over 2 years ago they've probably ended up being my favorite kind of pets. They're clean, well behaved and very loveable.
Disgusting
The wild kinds are ?
@@Awormm sure
@@richardcraig8780 I meant to say the wild kinds are crazy i was just lazy
@@Awormm sure
The best life you can give them. That's why I do it, too. A sweet little creature that has such a short life deserves the best life. There will be a special place in heaven for you, and all your little ones will be waiting for you. Rats rule! 🐀 💕
I had 32 white rats. Bought two a few months before the pandemic. One got pregnant, the pet stores shut down.. so I raised them for three years. Bought a ferret cage and just enjoyed my rat farm. They were feeders and died for every health reason under the sun. Still had a better life then becoming snake poo
32 over a period of time....not all at once.
Our precious Amelia passed three days ago. She was the last of our beautiful dwarf sisters and lived 4 years. Listening to you talking about all of your rattie babies is so soothing to me. Thank you.
RIP
RIP little rattie :(
I hope you end up feeling better
my rat Alice died and I’m currently grieving and very depressed and devastated
So sorry🥺
@@Dinas_cozy_cottage so sorry🥺
It's so incredible how trained they all are! All of them are so super sweet and I adore them 🥰
They are so cute.
They are as little bears, so cute🥰
The photo lineup is so adorable! Amazed they all stayed put long enough for you to take the shot
Many rats are restless, photo is amazing 😊
15:33 That picture should be in a rat calendar! So cute!
All their names so cute.
hope all are well, best of luck to Donut, thanks for the info about your ratties
Oh my gosh, all of them are so adorable!!!!! I love Butter and Toast, they're so tiny!! And Butter's lil fluffed up hair is always so cute! And I love Egg and Omelette, they look like my two rats lol, and Banana and Blueberry just sound so chill, and Olive and Donut I feel like they would be the chill aunt's of the group. I love all of them so much, I wish they could just live forever 😭😭
They're all just so cute! I'm so glad to hear that Donut is still doing well.
I remember having a rat with similar hernia to toast. Never knew what it was from so glad I found this! It never affected her though, was just a little lump on her tummy.
Blue hooded rats are my favorite
Edit: This is also the first time I've heard of dwarf rats.
Your girls are just so beautiful! 💜🐀💜🐀

Was the funniest thing ever😂😂
I love how they all just stared at you like, “moOooom!”🙄
I got 4x sisters (5 months old)
• Stripey
• Patch
• Ziggy
• Dot
Named due to markings
Only Stripey was a little cage aggressive at start as she had eye infection which needed Vet treatment which stressed her out big time... she was in a mood with myself for 2 weeks as I had to handle her during treatment and she wasn't happy at all afterwards whenever she seen/ smelled my hand scent when entering cage.
All Rats are amazing and easily handled now. My 10yr old girl loves when the girls lick her fingers clean of food lol.
I free roam the girls 12hrs per day... I keep cage doors open all the time and only closed when at work. I leave doors open when I sleep to give girls as much free roam time as possible.
I have two pet rats that I would love to find loving homes for but I find it difficult to trust strangers to take them and actually treat them as pets and not food for reptiles.
Yeah. You really can't trust people. I just read in the news the case of one woman who temporarily re-homed her pet pig because it got too big for her current house and the family that took it killed and eat it. Talk about trauma and trust issues. 😑
@@16SF 😭😭😭
I'd be really mad if the people I allowed to "babysit" my pet ate it rather than treat it like a pet. I'd sue them!!!!
I’ll take them I promise not to feed them to my snakes 😁
I love them all, so very much 🥰
Thanks for sharing how wonderful ratties are❤
I have 2 rats and one mouse! One of them is hairless, they're so cute❤🐀🐁🐭 your rats are so cute too💖
Is the mouse 🐁 in the same cage as the rats ?
@@Aisha-721 no they all have separate cages because one of them is a male and the other one is a female and the mouse is a female too but I got her recently and I don't know how good her and my other rat would get along so I keep them separate, there cages are next to each other's tho :)
@@potatoesalad4629 Hey, I’m sorry to say this, but you need to keep at least two rats TOGETHER. In my country three together is actually the minimum. Keeping them in separate cages will make it so they can’t cuddle or groom each other or play fight or all these other things that are essential for a happy rat life. Regardless of how much time you spend with them, you won’t replace a ratty friend. This is animal abuse. I’m not saying that to be mean or anything, you probably didn’t know better, but for your animals well-being please either neuter your male rat (even tho this harbors some risks, please do this at a rat knowledgeable vet) and put them together or get at least another female and another male for your rats. And please don’t put the mouse with the rat, they have completely different language and it would probably end bloody
It’s amazing how you can rats to be this smart. My hat off to you. Thanks for this video.
sorry for the late notice my rates died 2 years ago thx for all the wonderful tips you have gave me
Omg toast and butter are so cute
The rat pack family. So cute, so sweet. Beautiful, loveable sentient souls.❤ Poor misunderstood animals.😢
Ah I didn’t know about the enthusiast group in Virginia. I just moved away from that and am now on the east coast. I’m looking into getting a service dog now, so no more rats for a while (my two boys passed within the same month ❤). But hopefully one day I can again. My rat family helped me so so much with my disability, I love them so much for all their kindness to me 😢❤
Omg, THERE ALL SO CUTE. egg and omelet look exactly like two of my rats taser and laser! And banana looks like my rats sage and cinnamon. All your rats are soooo cute I've learned everything about rats on your channel thank u sooo much
Aww they are so cute, we to have rats but them I developed an allergy to them. 😢 They would follow us around and sleep in pockets and hoods ❤
We absolutely love the photo of them lined up!!! Priceless!!! We love their empty oats container too!! Our boys just got one too lol!! Your girls are so beautiful!!! We love them!!
I love all your rats. They are so smart and cute. We had one about 30 years ago. A pink-eyed white rat, Mr. Itchy. He was such a cool guy. If I didn't collect cats, I'd have a few rats.
First I just want to say I love your videos. All of your rats are SOOOO cute, I started watch them after I got my girls and they've been so informative
Anyways, I have a question for more experienced rat owners. I'm a newer rat owner, I've had my girls for about a half a year and I hoping someone more experienced could answer my question. Here's some basic information. they're very sociable and confident and I love them more than anything. I take them out of their cage to play on my bed with me (I put blankets down over my bed beforehand) and whatever boxes and toys I grab them that day. The only issue is that they scent mark everywhere every time I take them out of their cage, and they're on the bed for a while. I take out their litter pan and put in on the bed too and they only go to the washroom there but they keep leaving those droplets of urine every where. I've tried moving them to their litterbox when they do it but this only seemed to confuse them and one of them had a few accidents where they peed somewhere other than the litter pan so I stopped doing that. Is there some way I can teach them not to scent mark with urine or is this just something I'll have to live with? Thank you for your time, sorry for my rant lol.
Thanks for the update and for introducing them all and telling us about them!
how did you manage the picture of them all together like that lol
Wish them all long, healthy and happy life! Rats are adorable! 😍
I have a pet rat. I've never seen him/her. I hear him/her every night exploring and finding food in the house, (which is VERY scruffy!) I admit to leaving bits on occasion. He/she has been stranded after outside access was sealed by my landlord. Outside rats are subject to poisoning. I really hope that he/she is happy without other ratty friends, and wishes to continue as my guest. Unfortunately my greyhound best friend would be lethal if the two should meet. (Experience!) There's no smell, chewed up stuff of course, and I love the nightly sounds. Doggies and rats for ever!!!!🙃🙃🙃🥰
Awesome video and photos ❤
It's been great to get to know your mischief a bit better! Whole lot of cuteness!
At the end of the video, you mention how you've had a lot of rats due to their short lifespan and your longterm interest in them. I'm not sure if you've talked about this elsewhere, but I'm wondering how you handle removing them from their cages after they pass? In my experience with just a few rats, it was very difficult to do so, and once I did, I wasn't sure how to handle their bodies. It would be great to learn about your experience and perspective on that awful process, but I would completely understand if you didn't want to talk about it. Thanks!
We had two boys identical to Donut and Olive. Sooty (solid) and Bootsy (Berkshire). They fought like that, too. Constantly together although there were seven other rats. They were inseparable.
They are all so cute! I love your vids, thanks for sharing your life with pet rats! This was also very educational, I learned a lot. Keep it up
Super cute!!
Like and share for this lovely woman. Let your friends know aboutt rats and how adorable they can be. It helps grow her channel.
Love all your cute ratties! ❤
I literally have gerbils name toast egg and omelette lol
Why do you people like breakfast so much?
🍳 🥞
Because it’s the best meal of the day 🍞🍳
Rats are a 'sometimes' food. But never for breakfast.
@@dazofthemoo1531 ???
You eat rats? 😭😭😭
@@Invaderzimmmm 'sometimes'
They are all so sweet. How cute they all are. The dwarf rats are so tiny. God bless you loving them. 🎉
Thank you for introducing your mischief. Looking at other peoples rats on youtube brings back happy memories! I kept rats on and off for a number of years here in the U.k. and it worked out that was about 40 rats in total!! So many amazing characters! Mainly girls but some boys too. I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing them!😊🐀🐁Xx
I just happened across your video and it was great. I had 5 girl rats years ago, they were so sweet and so much fun.
OMG They are so so so cute i love their names also 🐀🐭.
The little ones look like they could be the children of the others based on their size.. I am use to seeing field rats.. Light gray.. They get big and have seen them try to take on my dog
Toast and Butter are dwarf rats.
How cute are their little outfits 😍
They're all very lovely critters.
BUTTER’S HOPHOPS MAKE ME SO HAPPY I LOVE BUTTER SO MUCH 😂❤️
Cool crew. 🐁🐀🤙
I love how well you've trained them.
They are so smart and independent it's too cuteeee🥺🥰🥰🥰
These little potatoes are so CUTE, I would love to get some pet rats but my mom would never allow it, I have been talking her into getting furless pets since I've done a lot of reasearch.
Omg…they are all so smart and adorable!!! 😍🥰🤗🐹🐁🐀
It's unusual for a genetic aberration (dwarf) to produce an improvement in health conditions, rather than creating new health issues. Think of many breeds of cats, dogs and rabbits and their genetic concentrations (eg, small heads, pushed in noses, extra long or extra short bodies,) or even rats :hairless, russian blues, harleys as you mentioned, tend to come with new sets of problems that the originals don't. That dwarf rats are less prone to tumours and cancers (you didn't mention if they are more prone to anything else) is amazing!
What is the issue with Russian blues? /gen
It takes a special human to care for and love rats. Most people think they're dirty and disgusting. Rat people are very very special because we love one of the most hated species on the planet, and aren't we lucky to love them? We get to see what rats really are: clean, loyal, intelligent, loving and faithful. We also have such strength as rat lovers because of the heartbreak we go through many times. Take care Esther!
The Omelet was lightly toasted!
very cute, fun to watch
Oh my goodness they’re adorable my brother used to have pet rats even had a cat and a rat that were best friends and my daughter she used to have pet mice I think they’re adorable I’ve always loved them I think it’s awesome🥰💕
I always were curious how rat owners deal with the short life span of rats, I used to have rats and my mother loved them as well but since she was very sad when the rats passed away I stopped getting rats for her sake
Great Video! Such a lovely group of ratties! Great work with training and their care! Wishing them long lives. 🐁🐀❤️
I'm in Virginia too. I have 2 rex male dumbos. One is gray, and the other one is beige. Mine came from feeder rats at a local pet store. 🐀🐾
Never thought there would be rat breeding scams like you mentioned, wouldn't expect much profit at all
You'd be surprised - I've seen people scammed $200-300 dollars out of rats, especially the more unique varieties like werewolves which often go for $70-100 or more. Usually they'll send a photo from google and ask for a payment beforehand - pretty sketchy since even breeders who do downpayment only do $10 or so usually, but if your really wanting one variety I could see it being easy to overlook the red flags.
What I was more referring to was breeders who mass breed and rehome sickly or too young rats - that's the more common type of "breeding scam" and leads to people getting sickly or poor tempered rats.
It's crazy how intelligent and active rats are! I would like to get rats in the future if I can, but I currently have a hamster and cat so I of course can't right now lol. Your rats or so cute!
What a fun lil play area!
What a precious video!!!🥰
These Babies are Adorable! What treats are you giving them?
Typically for training treats I give them cheerios broken into bits, gerber puffs broken into bits, plain yogurt, and occasionally meat baby food! As for out of training, they get bits of my dinner 2-3 times a week alongside weekly fruits and veggies.
I think it’s awesome how do you get them trained that is so awesome they’re adorable🥰💕
Thank you! If your curious about the training process I have some tutorials on various tricks here: th-cam.com/play/PLGThSDBAdLELI-HLODOx9FFPXMZVCbjQs.html

My sweet Zacatecas died last month from complications of a petuitary tumor. I'm so sad but I know that she isn't ill anymore. It's so unfair their little lives are so short & they commonly develop certain illnesses. I'm cryogenically preserving her body until her surviving wife, Butter Cups Cups Cups! passes so they can be buried together. I just can't bare the thought of burying Zaca alone😢 Until then, Butters needs an older friend to keep her company. I've searched some local shelters but there aren't any older female rats or female rats in general so I'm just waiting for now. lord only knows how long Cups has left since she's about 2-2.5 years old & has mammary tumors.
I can't do it anymore .I rescued for years . You fall in luv and before a blink of an eye they die and I wind up in a deep depression
My OH My !!
So many pretty Girls ❤️
Sweet and smart
Lovely ❤️
I would LOVE to have my very own lil "Butter" baby! I'm in California, & I can't find any rats for sale anywhere!💕🐭
i love them all!
I got my two rats from a reptile store near me they were being sold as feeders but I decided to save them
Every single one a treasure.
0:45 anyone else see that thing in the back zoom by??
Wow that's was interesting and they are pretty ladies and your a professional rat handler

Lady rats are more hyper and task oriented. I have had more males because they are more chill and brux and boggle which i love.
Ask you a question I've been thinking about getting a pet rat but I am never had one before I've had a guinea pig and a and a dragon bearded dragon before and I've have a dog and a cat I've lots of pet experience but I'm not sure how to deal with rats because I really like them so I was wondering what kind of rats would be good for a beginner
