This made me smile, two of my rats chex and flake do this, Poor chexs is so blind. (Not literally but she can harldy see) So she sways just like this all the time :) when i see them do this i always think they will never be able to live in the wild hiding from bigger animals :D They wouldnt be able to sit still. haha
We are, indeed, the champions my friend. We will keep on fighting, right to the very end. It is because, as I said, we are the champions and we have very little, if any, time for losers due to, as I previously mentioned, us being the champions. Of the world.
im verrrry srry about snozbee who looks like my old rat lucy but their probably up in heaven dancing to this song! :'-(ilove your video its a great tribute to such an amzing and cute rat. i had ablack rat and beige rat and a black and white rat who were females that passed away. i know how hard it is to lose a pet. just remember the good times. im sure there all hanging out and playing in heaven. im sorry for your loss.
I just got a pink eyed hairless rat and she does this quite often, my other 2 fancy rats who have dark eyes don't do it. Rats have horrible vision and depth perception and pink eyed rats have even worse vision so swaying their heads back and forth is how they get a better view and judge distance. Since my rat is hairless it looks funny...like an old lady losing her balance lol.
My rat Kamen does this sway a lot lol. Last night I was doing the sway in front of him and making fun of him and he walked up to me and put his paws on my nose and squeaked like, "Cut it out mom thats not funny."
How cute. Some of my rats sway, most rats who do it do it because their vision is poor and they're trying to "center" or focus. But I never saw one sway this much, it's very cute, and she's a very cute rat. Sorry you lost her, she's probably met some of mine up there by now.
Sorry to burst ur bubble dude it aint dancing albino rats do that because they got bad eyes so they do that to focuss in on whats around them.. but good video
Very cute rat! I have an albino with honey coloured spots and pink eyes, does that too! and a brown and white hooded rat, i love them they are so gawjuss! x
ahahaha i love this video.. my albino does the head thing too. it reminds me of the SNL skit with jim carry where they're at a club!!! anyone remember?
OMG I didn't know other rats swayed! I thought our rat Buttons was the only one, hahaha. I saw something about red eyes... and Buttons has red eyes. Any correlation?
Aww! Is she an odd eye it looks as if she has a pink and a black eye (ha ha pink eye , black eye) my rat really does dance, it's hilarius, but he only does it when "his song" is played
Moleogod is correct. The rat is trying to hone in on the object he's trying to see. Many rats do this but albinos especially because they lack the eye pigmentation.
if she is by herself then shes swaying because she feels alon and sad, i would recommend getting her out to play everyday, trust me u dont know wat u got until its gone, i think this is the last day with my rat snuffles:'(
no its not food rats with pink eyes can not see aswell as normal eyed rats so the move the heads around trying to get as much sence on the back of there retainers so they can see better and judge distance
Our rat Swayzie May sways like that also. Doesn't it look funny too. It would be interesting designing some glasses for our white rats with pink eyes eh. Your rat is gorgeous, Great video :-D
well dont take this the wrong way but are u sure u dont have a piece of food that youre waving back and forth because its obviously looking at something... great vid by the way lol funny
Nope, no food, Pink eyed rats sway like this to get a better focus as they have poor eye sight. This poor little ratty has really really bad eyesight so she sways ALOT! lol :)
Besides if there was food involved a rat wouldn't just stand there, she'd climb up your back along your arm and hang from your hand till you gave it to them!!
I can definitely vouch for this. I've have several pink eyed rats-- one almost completely blind-- and have witnessed the swaying many, many times. I work at a petstore, so I usually warn customers about that when they take home a pink eyed rat, just so they don't start to worry, lol.
@cursed2 I had a pink eyed =] she did that took. My little Ali <3 and yes, if it were food, they would be ALL OVER you trying to get it. I was eating a sandwich the other day, and my rat Chip comes up and tries to steal it. I put him on the floor away from my bed, and he did NOT give up. He jumped right back up on my bed. So I tossed the rest of the sandwich in the trash. Chip and Cosmo (my other rat...dumbo <333) JUMPED INTO THE TRASH to get the sandwich.
actually rats do that on their own. Especially pink eyed rats because their vision is so bad. Its a way for them to scan their surroundings. Although this one does it quite a lot. lol.
Definitely no food. Nobody believed that i got my rats stand on back legs without any food, before i proved that that only results rat clinging to food in the air
My rats don't sway like that because they are black-eyed, so its the first time i actually saw this.
I have an image in my head of rats hanging off a bit of baby rusk in the air now... and the funny thing is, it wouldnt suprise me if my lot did end up doing that if i tried!!
Our white rats with pink eyes do the same thing without food. Because they can't see very well they sway backwards and forwards to make out solid objects. It can look quite funny, especially when put with music.
Aww My baby boys do that. its really cute. He does it mainly when he's in his cage. Can you eplain why because i know its to do with the eyes but im not 100 % sure. is it so they can see things easier?
I think it mostly helps them to define shapes when they move thier heads back and forth like that. Its more common in pink eyed rats because they have worse vision but Ive seen ones with dark eyes do it too. Regardess its cute! :)
One of my two rats is swayin, too, but she isn't a pink eye, just a.. half-pink-eye (is that possible?^^) but it got much better, shes only swaying at times, shes excited or frightened, but shes the coloured nearly the same as yours.
Nah, she's a pink eye with poor eyesight so she sways to get a better focus on things. I just think its cute so i recorded it and added music when i was bored lol.
I have eleven rats. I've had as many as twenty-two at one time. ^^ Nothing impressive for a rat fancier. I know of people who have over two hundred pet rats.
Your video is cute! I had an albino boy, Squeak that swayed back and forth too (trying to focus). I always said if I could only put a pair of shades on him it would be the coolest little video to see!
How cute! I had a rat named Ginger who used to do that. I called it her "Axel Rose" dance. Ginger is no more :( but I now have a really cute albino named Salty (check out her videos)
I don't know if you know this... but I've noticed that your pet rat is albino. The reason he is swaying his head like that, is because albino rats have difficulty seeing things clearly and so they sway their heads from side to side in order to get their vision in focus. Sorrel is cute by the way! nice vid! 5/5
