Pet Rats drinking Tea

[wowdirtsA]

Do you let it cool completely before giving it to them or is it still warm?

[MrDanbob98]

That's really cute

[SillyNerdify]

it's funny how they're wrestling for the tea X)

[Illchangeitlater]

Mine like to drink tea from a spoon or a syringe (without needle ofcourse!!) It's fun to see them enjoy stuff.

[JFuzzman]

Lol look s like you'll need another water bottle? :P

[MineCraftMOP]

my rats not drinking out of that same type of bottle im worried i put where its visible so i dont not please help

[norxcontacts]

They're rats, they'll drink battery acid.

[meathena]

Cute! I used to give my rats little bowls of decaf green tea every day and they loved it. A couple would even wash their faces in it - apparently they wanted to smell good :-)

[xLisssaaax]

@aw so cute ! they wanted to smell good :)

[aquamarinebbe]

how much, milk, tea,water ratio (in a bottle) would you give for 4 male rats? thanks

[ForwardN2Unknown]

I used to let mine drink tea from my mug.

[LaizaLeatham]

they'll drink anything I drink. They even tried to drink booze... I wouldn't let them

[wizzyjo]

its a myth that rats are lactose intolerant, they actually have the same chances of humans as being lactose intolerant, the main problem with milk and rats is that it thickens their mucus which can cause sneezing and clog their lungs up. however, beautiful girlies :)

[gurkinz]

is tea good for them? i want to try it out with my rats

[finn366]

Its really rare they get it, water is always best for rats at all time but this is just a treat for mine, great for old and sick rats to who are struggling to eat or drink, it gives them energy

[chasie447]

@finn366, We give our rats gatorade sometimes for there belly aches cuz my rat is almost 4 years old. He had like 3 tummy aches and if you give 'em gatorade it helps! <3 <3 <3 R.I.P Joe

[only1chunky]

@finn366 can they have sink water or does it have to be bottled coz i really dont know?

[SilentMoonGlow]

@finn366 What kind o tea do you give them? I used to give my chicken and noddle soup :) They loved it. (When they were sick or just as a treat)

[meathena]

@gurkinz try decaf green tea - super good for them.

[Illchangeitlater]

@gurkinz Tea is healthy for people, so I think it's good for my ratties too. Mine love chamomille and green tea without milk or honey, and I give one of them allot of thyme tea because he has bad respatory problems and it soothes him when he's having a bad day. But I know for sure that chamomille is very good for them! And black tea doesn't do any harm.

[pyrosparkes]

tea doesnt have to have milk in it... why not try giving them black tea?

[finn366]

I have tried and only 2 of my rats liked it without milk and that was Ronny and Reggy, but all of these in the video only liked it with milk :)

[FunnyJellyBean27]

HAHA i have a rat too omg i think they like it

[finn366]

Lol they do get excited when they have it as its not very often, must taste nice compared to water which is what they have everyday

[boredjoey]

i dont think tea is good for them.

[finn366]

They dont have it very often and only a small amount. They always have fresh water in their cages at all times

[boredjoey]

Well thats good then i guess.

[flipchloe]

1:32 it looks like they are making out while having a sip of tea lol

[finn366]

lol :)

[jlambertstl]

Cuties!

[finn366]

Lol thanks

[ilovehorses789]

Hehe, I saw one stand on anothers head to get a drink xD

Your rats are gorgeous. Looks like you take good care of them. you really know what your doing

[finn366]

Aww thank you :)

[IcenSheWolf]

That is so adorable!

Though if they are lactose intolerant, why not just give them straight tea in water?

[finn366]

Thank you :)

I have tried tea in straight water and none of them liked it lol, so they are rarely given tea because i dont want to upset their little tummies :)

[TumbleAndCheer101]

Im glad they got a taste of tea because I love it also!

[finn366]

Lol, nice little treat for them :)

[WildFlicka]

i gave my girls a sip of Green Tea for the first time. it doesnt hurt them and they go nuts like this :)

[finn366]

My rats dont actually go hyper after having tea :S

Glad they enjoyed Green Tea :)

[Bagerzz22]

Is the tea hot?

[finn366]

NO NO never hot! I leave it to cool for a long time so that its only slightly warm, thats how they prefer it :)

[Bagerzz22]

Oh alright. Maybe I'll try that if I get a rat :)

[ratlover35]

lol i didnt know rats liked to drink tea XD they are like fighting eachother over getting it...how funny and cute

[finn366]

Thank you, they dont get it very often :)

[FLAVICOLE]

ummm do you serve them sweet tea or unsweet because I want to try this, or do you serve them tea like what you make on the stove, what brand

[finn366]

The tea is just standard tea that we drink, for example tetley tea bags etc, just cooled down but they only have it once every few months if that to be honest.

[Dislobell]

Wow they are gunna be hyper! So cute!

[finn366]

Lol they didnt actually drink that much, the bottle is shared between all 7, a lovely small treat for them :)

[yoona]

they're soooo adorable. Some of your rats have the most beautiful markings! :] Either way they're all so loveable

[finn366]

Aww thank you very much :) I have now also got 2 more rats that i need to do a video of soon, there called Shadow and Hudini :)

[yoona]

Yay! I'll be watching for that hehe. So how many do you have now?

[finn366]

[yoona]

[sticky2208]

[finn366]

Hehe i think they must be twins lol, both absolutely adorable :P

0:19 do you mean Holly drinking with her head tilted lol, she always does it lol :)

[selectivex]

OMG! they are so adorable!!!!! It make me laugh to see all of them drinking together in sync... What kind of tea is it and how much do you give them and how often?

[finn366]

Aww thank you :)

It is just normal tea that we drink and is given very rarely maybe every 2-3 months as milk can upset ratties, dont give them much

[cinemageek]

Lots of head-squishing as they clamor for yummy tea! :D

[finn366]

Hehe always fun to watch :)

[sehryn]

I give my rats fresh soy milk...it is available in most good IGA and supermarkets. It is said to be excellent for female rats in particular as it reduces the incidence of tumours. I have never had to deal with a tumour in a rat yet. Of course having said that I suppose that experience will occur one day as I love rats.

So try soy mlk in their tea...I love it in tea and Im sure they will too

thanks for sharing the very cute video. I had to give you a 5 star rating :>

[finn366]

Thank you for my 5 star rating :D

They only have tea once every 2 or 3 months and a small bottle is shared between 3 cages and 7 rats lol, i wouldnt give it to them all the time.

I didnt know it would decrease chances of tumours i have heard it with some other foods, never know if there true or not lol.

Ive had 12 rats and only one with tumours so far, so im lucky i think.

[ratlover35]

fresh soy milk eh? i will have to try that i had a very cute rat named Max who got a brain tumor and died a few months ago :(

[finn366]

Im so sorry about Max, its horrible to lose one i know how it feels :(

[Xtoxina]

aww.. it was only yesterday ^_^ cool mine love soda xD they go nuts for it^_^

[finn366]

Thank you :) Its a nice treat for them :)

[sian545]

Aw they do love tea, my two sometimes get into my cup D:

Did you build the wooden cage? It looks rather big :D

[finn366]

Aww thank you, i think they all sneak a taste in our cups :)

The wooden cage yes we did make its 5ft tall with lots of shelves and hammocks, loved by 3 of my girls :D

[sticky2208]

aw they are so sweet hun, looks like they are enjoying it love how they nudge each other away from it lol :) mine love tea aswell, and hum how is caffine bad for them ? lol in large doses maybe it is but not as a treat, mine have it often and they are fine, ignore these silly people sweety, hugs to your ratties from me xx

[finn366]

Thank you hun, glad someone realises its a treat, the cage is not small and all loved, hugs to your gorgeous ratties too :)

Thanks for a lovely comment hun :)

[catanddoginfo]

very cute!! Thank-you for sharing this video. I didn't know that rats could drink tea... what kind of tea is it and what's in it? Great video!

[finn366]

Thank you :) Its just normal tea as in making a cup of tea, they really dont have much its a treat every few months

[MasterOfTheMidgets]

I was kinda impressed at how Coco Dixi and Dotty some how managed to drink from the tonic all at the same time : P That was funny.

[finn366]

LOL i was actually surprised myself they dont usually, must of known i was filming them so on best behaviour lol :)

[mandyjean007]

Haha, I liked how they pushed each other out of the way for the tea xD

Cute, I should try that sometime.

[finn366]

Thank you :)

[TamTamHorsey]

i cant belive you let them drink tea XD

mine well yeah go spaz over drinking my milk i cant imagin them with cafine

[finn366]

They dont actually drink that much as one small bottle is shared between 3 cages and 7 rats, and they dont go hyper or anything just enjoy it :)

[andyjm79]

Very cute. I never tried mine on tea!

[finn366]

They dont drink very much as too much milk will upset their stomach, a nice small treat :)

[RatPirate]

Oh cute. My rats love drink the tea too.

[finn366]

Lol its a nice treat for them :)

[amylovesrats]

[FunnyStuff908]

[FunnyStuff908]

[oPuPo]

Wow Lola at the start looks amazing hun. You must be SO chuffed with her progress :). No music on this one huh? lol.

Very cute video :). Wouldn't tea make them go hyper? :)

[finn366]

Aww thanks hun, were very proud of her weight loss and she is doing amazing now and shes happy to have lumps removed so she can run even faster now lol :)

Tea is given to them maybe every 2 or 3 months so very rare! and there no hyper than they usually are no no difference hehe :)

[blackberry15]

[StarsHollowJinx]

[finn366]
