When I get my rats I make them ride around on me in a hoodie all the time, and they get comfortable with me that way and it's a lot easier. Also rats don't wag their tails.
Those cages are WAY to small the last one is OK for just one rat,the 2nd one is a little bit small for travailing, both ways you should have two rats at least in the same cage, unless they are being mean to other rats, or sick and you are trying to keep them from the other rats.
Can someone answer my question please? I have a 15 gallon aquarium right now. Can 2 rats live in it nicely? Or do I have to build a cage instead? If I need to build it please tell me an appropriate size! It can't be ginormous but it can be largish. Thanks!
you better get 2 or more rats, no matter how many time you spend with it, most of the time your rat is alone and has no one to sleep with, play with, cuddle, groom,..
i had 2 gerbils, one of them died, and it made me feel sad, seeing how he missed someone to play with,..
thats why i am getting 3 brothers pet rats, so if i'm busy with one of them the others have each other and when one of them would die, i have time to find a new friend, and they would still have eachother
Lol put a sweatshirt on your hairless baby :D and lol, tar is rat backwards. Ive thought of that name but is sounds more like a guts name and im a female rat person.
nothing wrong with hand feeding treats! Bites happen sometimes! I've taught mine to take treats gently! And anyone who can feed a rat to a lizard or anything is fuckin sick! Buy mice, rats are intelegent creatures,would you feed a dog or cat to a lizard? How about i feed your skank ass to a shark? Makes me sick! Educate yourselves!
This video is exactly pertains to exactly what the lady said it's for, PET STORE RATS. Don't support the "Big" pet store chains. In fact when purchasing rats seek out a local reputable breeder.
@APT420 sometimes the big pet stores get lucky when a breeder dumps a litter there. I am soon to be breeder but I have gotten some awesome petstore / feeder rats. but obviously a well bred socialized from birth rats will be that much better. I dont encourage getting feeder rats any more. there are lots of pet rats that need homes. If you "save" a feeder it will just be replaced by another they dont care what happens after you buy it.
@Anne123N What diseases? unless they are pet store rats they are bred by breeders who watch their every step carefully. Therefore, there are no diseases in most pet rats. Even pet store rats are disease free. If anything, we give them cooties and they get sick from us.
I own 11 snakes 70 tarantulas 2 bearded dragons 1 frilled dragon 2 chameleons 1 centipede 3 geckos 1 hamster and one a soon two rats I think all animals are beautiful snakes are not evil I give the prekilled frozen prey if your a animal lover than you love all animals not just one type.
@westsidetarantulas I once told a friend that I like lizards and she's getting al mad on me because they eat hamsters but that's nature right and I got a hamster my self :)
Help? I have two little rats that DO bite the hand that feeds them? Like they avoid to food nibble on my hand.. it's not hard but I don't get it? I even washed my hands! Then if I drop the food they eat it!? This isn't the first time I've had rats too these are my 5th and 6th.
Stop hand feeding them....Many people like to give rats food by hand...BUT this CAN cause rats to "bite before they look"...
In nature rats do not offer each other food, unless it is a act of submission or trying to gain entry to a larger group....Hand feeding is ok for the first few weeks..but should be discontinued unless "treating" them for tricks.
" rats belong to sewers?" wtf? wild ones are living there yes but people are forgetting something: who created sewers? us. And wild rats are of course using good opportunity and go living in sewers cause there is safer: no natural enemies. ( at least not so much..) and they find food so easily in there. And of course when they are living in these kind of places it is not miracle that they carry diseases.... So in my opinion wild ones are very smart using us to find safe place to live
I hope the cages on the table are not the ones the rats live in, they are way too small. Also, if you get your rats from a good(!) rat breeder (rattery) they will be tame when you get them. Don't buy pets in pet stores, they were bred for the money in rat mills and treated horribly!
You probaly got a rat that has been abused in the past, wether it was from being loney or the owners hurting their rats. for that rat i would say wait another year then get a pair of the same gender
People, please help! I have a rat (girl) who is already two years old and she just keeps biting me and i cant do anything! First when i bought her she bite me very painfully and I just tought that she will reliese soon that i dont want to hurt her but she didnt... If you know what I should do then plz help me!

also, i found that my rats didn't eat almost half of the store bought food i was giving to them. turns out they don't really like alfalfa sprout speeds of which the food had a lot. so i ended up making my own food from this recipe i found online and they loved it! google search for Subee's homemade rat diet!
a lot of store bought rats have mycoplasm which is a form of bacteria that lies dormant in their lungs. it can be aggravated by an unclean habitat. there is no cure for it and it's devastating to watch them suffer with it. just an fyi for new rats owners/lovers.
i've heard that buying from a rat breeder will give you a better chance of having a pet rat that doesn't already have this disease.
This "expert as they call her, is not an expert. In another video she says rats last about 1-2 years. They actually live 5-7. Mice live 2-3 even. Also she says in this video, "As you see Tar is really comfortable being with me and holding him in HIS arms." What?
I have that blue cage on the left for my rat but mines a little diffrent but im going to get a big one when i save enough money because it's so small so i let my rat play out a lot & i think you should get a bigger cage too:)
expert my ass she has no idea how to care for rats seen all the rat videos with her in and the basic mistakes and mis information she keeps dishing out makes me cringe.
i have 4 rats altogether i have 2 new dumbo rats one of them keeps sneezing and i have changed the bedding to see if that would help and now my rats have all started to sneeze i would just like to know how i could get this to stop thanks.
@STORMTR00PERS A lot of times rats get 'new home sneezes' where they will sneeze, but are not sick. If it doesn't stop though, then you should take them to the vet, they could have a respiratory infection. What bedding are you using? Pine and Cedar are toxic for rats. Aspen is the only safe wood chips you can use. Carefresh is very dusty so that could be irritating the rats. Do you have them in a tank, or wire cage? Tanks have poor ventilation so that could also be the cause.
I have just got 2 new Dumbo rats and one of them keeps sneezing so i changed the bedding to see if that would help but now the sneezing has spread to my other rats so i would like to know how i could help them stop sneezing thanks.
@STORMTR00PERS Could it be because your using the wrong bed liner? Aspen or Pine chips cause dust that could aggravate. I would try using the cotton chunks they sale at petsmart. It's what they use in their tanks. Good luck with your rats
@luckyloser89 What? Aspen is a great bedding and the only safe wood chip, I highly recommend it. Pine and Cedar are toxic for rats, that is why they are not used. The Aspen bedding doesn't have dust. Carefresh actually has a lot of dust which can irritate their respiratory systems and it's much more expensive then Aspen.
Wow. Blabla, said the guy who called me a bitch. U r funny xD . This boxes in the video are for the rats and they r all alone they r not only for watching u supid idiot ;D Btw i never told bad things to u in the Comment before, only the true.
@LadyKi77y I assumed "smth" in the sentence "you don't know smth about rats" was some sort of abbreviation for an offensive word.
I don't have rats now, but I used to have 3 rats. I had 3 because they love to play. 1 of them was born with deformed back legs and I made him a little wheel-chair so he could run around. I loved my rats so don't accuse me of being some sort of animal abuser. Who thinks rats should be kept alone in tiny cages.
I had alot of rats and this girl here only dont know smth about rats and when u think the cage is big. then u dont know smth about rats too. finito. bb
Blabla said the Guy who call me a Bitch ^^. This Girl is bathing her rats and all Rat Owners know that it is wrong to bath a rat! And this little cages are not only there for watching u total idiot.
@LadyKi77y It is not wrong to bathe rats. It's bad to do it too often. Bathing too often will make their skin dry, or males with over-produce buck grease. A bath every month will not harm the rats, and sometimes they are needed if the rat gets into something, or is eating a messy food, like oatmeal or baby food.
absolutely nonsense. rats may eat cheese. their stomachs have evolved since their introduction to western europe in the 1200's to eat virtually any food - in MODERATION of course. a piece of cheese will certainly NOT hurt a rat in any way, so long as a small piece.
I got my rats in November and they love me and all that but whenever I try to train them they freak out. I put them on the floor and they just keep running back to me. Its like they aren't interested in the food they only want to be on my shoulder (I think thats were they feel the safest) How can I get them used to the floor so I can teach them tricks???
This woman is NOT an expert. It's sad that anyone can claim to be an expert and post videos that are full of misinformation like this woman's videos are.
Those cages are way too small! Even for a mouse or a hamster.. Please, learn more about rats before you go "advising" other people with the wrong information..
i had a rat and it ran away with these wild rats and then one day i saw it behind the pot plant out side and i put it on my shoulder and it bit my ear it was hungry and thought i had food for it so it sniffed my ear cos it thougt food was in my ear and it hurt i was only 4 though
wouldn't you just put food in your hand and show them when you got it to show them you bring them food and care for them and then they look up to you if you hold it they might think oww i need to take this of you and they might bite you too :( expert village is really bad
They do bite if they aren't used to being hand fed. A good way to deter biting is by saying something like, "treat" when giving food. I learned this the hard way...
Letting males and females roam together...that's not a good idea. Please ExpertVillage - replace these videos with some real experts, this lady, whilst I'm sure she believes she's an expert, is not.
@tenmashi That is very true ^^ But at least it is a better selection that cheese c: They do have some vitamens in them, so yogurt drops do have some benefits ;)
please help! i have two rats and every single time i put my hand in the cage, they both staart attacking me. once they are out they are perfectly fine. but they bite, run to their house, run back out, bit, and repeat a ton of times in like, 30 seconds. as i time them out of the cage, they squeal and cry, and when they are out of the cage, they do not bite, but they try to get away from me like they are terrified. i got them in october, and am nothing but nice to them. what should i do?
@Nala5106 i just bought a rat and its staying in the corner of its cage, not moving really its a baby i'd say about 5 or 6 weeks old so i have a problem with my rat too
if you bought it from a knowledgeable breeder, there shouldn't be any problem socializing the rat, he/she'll probably scared or not used to the new environment.
if you got it from a pet store, seriously good luck! you might get a nice rat but it's rare, usually they will bite if they're over 4-5 months old... pet store really has the worst personality rats......
@yny Yes, my rat is very friendly now, i bought her in a little pet shack, that has good animals and at first i guess the ride home and concidering she was small was a bit of a shock for her, but now she's doing so much better:)
@Nala5106 Thats a terrible situation to be in. I don't know really, but i would suggest using gloves with them, and maybe just taking them out one at a time for a while, and always have treats ready to give. There are ways to train rats to become more sociable, I just never had one that need the training.
hi, i have two female rats, and my best friend has two female guinea pigs. they love to run around and play, and she has a large playground for her guinea pigs in her basement, would it hurt if i took my one of my rats over there for 20-45 minutes and let her guinea pig and my rat, (both female) play on the playground together or since they are different species would they hurt eachother? but not at all letting my rat in her guinea pigs cage, just let them play, and then take her home.
@Nala5106 I wouldn't recommend that. Maybe on the floor in an open space they're okay, but in a confined setting, no. Guinea pigs are gentle animals, but on the rare occasion that they bite, it can be harsh. Rats may be smaller (sometimes) but they're also territorial (even females). Confining the group could result in injury to one of the animals.
I have a pet rat, named Steve. I can't socialize him at all! I've tried everything! He's fine in his cage, where he has lots of room and toys, but when I take him out, he gets scared. I can't even touch him without him squealing. I don't know what to do :(
A few things, finger feeding usually causes biting. They think 'oh, this finger usually has food. It probably has some now, so I'll bite it.'. Also, letting rats 'run around on their own' is fine, so long as they're properly handled and tame. Which mine weren't. Well done, expertvillage, on finding another 'expert'. ¬_¬
When I get my rats I make them ride around on me in a hoodie all the time, and they get comfortable with me that way and it's a lot easier. Also rats don't wag their tails.

also, i found that my rats didn't eat almost half of the store bought food i was giving to them. turns out they don't really like alfalfa sprout speeds of which the food had a lot. so i ended up making my own food from this recipe i found online and they loved it! google search for Subee's homemade rat diet!

a lot of store bought rats have mycoplasm which is a form of bacteria that lies dormant in their lungs. it can be aggravated by an unclean habitat. there is no cure for it and it's devastating to watch them suffer with it. just an fyi for new rats owners/lovers.
i've heard that buying from a rat breeder will give you a better chance of having a pet rat that doesn't already have this disease.

This "expert as they call her, is not an expert. In another video she says rats last about 1-2 years. They actually live 5-7. Mice live 2-3 even. Also she says in this video, "As you see Tar is really comfortable being with me and holding him in HIS arms." What?

i have 4 rats altogether i have 2 new dumbo rats one of them keeps sneezing and i have changed the bedding to see if that would help and now my rats have all started to sneeze i would just like to know how i could get this to stop thanks.
STORMTR00PERS 8 months ago
@STORMTR00PERS A lot of times rats get 'new home sneezes' where they will sneeze, but are not sick. If it doesn't stop though, then you should take them to the vet, they could have a respiratory infection. What bedding are you using? Pine and Cedar are toxic for rats. Aspen is the only safe wood chips you can use. Carefresh is very dusty so that could be irritating the rats. Do you have them in a tank, or wire cage? Tanks have poor ventilation so that could also be the cause.

@STORMTR00PERS Could it be because your using the wrong bed liner? Aspen or Pine chips cause dust that could aggravate. I would try using the cotton chunks they sale at petsmart. It's what they use in their tanks. Good luck with your rats
luckyloser89 8 months ago
@luckyloser89 What? Aspen is a great bedding and the only safe wood chip, I highly recommend it. Pine and Cedar are toxic for rats, that is why they are not used. The Aspen bedding doesn't have dust. Carefresh actually has a lot of dust which can irritate their respiratory systems and it's much more expensive then Aspen.

@LadyKi77y I assumed "smth" in the sentence "you don't know smth about rats" was some sort of abbreviation for an offensive word.
I don't have rats now, but I used to have 3 rats. I had 3 because they love to play. 1 of them was born with deformed back legs and I made him a little wheel-chair so he could run around. I loved my rats so don't accuse me of being some sort of animal abuser. Who thinks rats should be kept alone in tiny cages.

LadyKi77y 9 months ago
@LadyKi77y It is not wrong to bathe rats. It's bad to do it too often. Bathing too often will make their skin dry, or males with over-produce buck grease. A bath every month will not harm the rats, and sometimes they are needed if the rat gets into something, or is eating a messy food, like oatmeal or baby food.
BrookeMunro 8 months ago
absolutely nonsense. rats may eat cheese. their stomachs have evolved since their introduction to western europe in the 1200's to eat virtually any food - in MODERATION of course. a piece of cheese will certainly NOT hurt a rat in any way, so long as a small piece.

wouldn't you just put food in your hand and show them when you got it to show them you bring them food and care for them and then they look up to you if you hold it they might think oww i need to take this of you and they might bite you too :( expert village is really bad
oliviabodycomb 10 months ago
They do bite if they aren't used to being hand fed. A good way to deter biting is by saying something like, "treat" when giving food. I learned this the hard way...

Chesse is NOT good for rats.. it is a myth do your research lady..
peoples dont feed chesse to rats or mice..
most Rodents are actually lactose intolerant and the cheese can cause runny stools etc.
Giving a Rat a small piece of cheese occasionally for a treat is ok, but not as a daily thing.

if you bought it from a knowledgeable breeder, there shouldn't be any problem socializing the rat, he/she'll probably scared or not used to the new environment.
if you got it from a pet store, seriously good luck! you might get a nice rat but it's rare, usually they will bite if they're over 4-5 months old... pet store really has the worst personality rats......

@Nala5106 Thats a terrible situation to be in. I don't know really, but i would suggest using gloves with them, and maybe just taking them out one at a time for a while, and always have treats ready to give. There are ways to train rats to become more sociable, I just never had one that need the training.

hi, i have two female rats, and my best friend has two female guinea pigs. they love to run around and play, and she has a large playground for her guinea pigs in her basement, would it hurt if i took my one of my rats over there for 20-45 minutes and let her guinea pig and my rat, (both female) play on the playground together or since they are different species would they hurt eachother? but not at all letting my rat in her guinea pigs cage, just let them play, and then take her home.
Nala5106 1 year ago
@Nala5106 I wouldn't recommend that. Maybe on the floor in an open space they're okay, but in a confined setting, no. Guinea pigs are gentle animals, but on the rare occasion that they bite, it can be harsh. Rats may be smaller (sometimes) but they're also territorial (even females). Confining the group could result in injury to one of the animals.

I have a pet rat, named Steve. I can't socialize him at all! I've tried everything! He's fine in his cage, where he has lots of room and toys, but when I take him out, he gets scared. I can't even touch him without him squealing. I don't know what to do :(

A few things, finger feeding usually causes biting. They think 'oh, this finger usually has food. It probably has some now, so I'll bite it.'. Also, letting rats 'run around on their own' is fine, so long as they're properly handled and tame. Which mine weren't. Well done, expertvillage, on finding another 'expert'. ¬_¬
