  • Rats are generally good swimmers (especially as babies) but until they are very used to the water they are justifiably scared of it. This vid reminds me of my little guy House as a baby.

  • Cute but dont put your small animals in water! (Not to be mean or anything) Cuz they have oils in their fur that keep up their immune system and keep them warm! :)

  • if he wanted to be in the water he would swim and be happy instead of searching a place to leave. Do not put rats in the water.

  • how did you teatch him to swim, my rats hate water, they will jump out and scratch me

  • cutie nose

  • Well, i still think, that rat didn't wanted to be there... It tried to come out, but unfortunatelly. Give a hand, help, and if it still doesn't get out, i'll believe...

  • I wanted to get 2 dumbo blue hooded rats. Sadly, my parents are sterotypists. Can I have some facts to prove my parents that rats aren't dirty creatures and that they are very fun and smart and loyal? I don't really want to get a Guinea Pig!!

    That rat was exploring, not freaking out.

  • @MegaAwesomeFilms The fact that they bite the least out of all pets. And clean themselves more on a daily basis then a house cat.

  • @MegaAwesomeFilms the're more intelligent than dogs,the're sweet, they wont bite unless you piss them off,the're easy to care for,and the only things that are really expensive are the docters visits.

  • @kitkatkittykat5000 Some will bite if they have been left in a pet store into adulthood and haven't been socialized. I got a rat years ago who would sit on my shoulder and out of nowhere, bite my earlobe till it bled. I love rats but some can be biters. With intelligence comes the potential for unexpected behavior.

  • that is sooo cute.. i want one so bad but my parents say no how do i convince them?

  • @Horsegirl939 point a .45 in their faces. jk one way is to educate them on it, most likely they think rodents are nasty. just try to prove it could be a good pet and you can handle it

  • its not swimming you just put it in there and its trying to find away to get out

  • So cool! I love his colors too! Awesome!

  • how did you get your rat used to the water? I really want my babies to try swimming.

  • @brittybby2010 it won't cause an ear infection because when rats go underwater they flatten the ears so not to get any water in. Also, rats are strong swimmers and can swim without tiring in water much deeper than that, imagine a wild rat in the sewers, they have to swim a lot sorry for the long comment :)

  • This rat didn't want to get out. Rather, he was investigating the edges of the tub. Just like he would do on the ground or a couch or anywhere else. If he really wanted to get out he would have tried jumping, not just swimming around and sniffing.

  • All my rats hate water. Anyone who comments saying these rats want out, you clearly have no clue. Mine kinda flew out of the bath. Epic jumping skills. :P

  • Wow! O_O Mine act just as described by Spleedah when they come in contact with some water... XD

  • I want a siameeeese!

  • I'm pretty confident the rat was fine. I've had rats before that don't like the water, and you can tell when they want to get out. They paw at the sides, they look up at you desperately, they squeak loudly, and when you put down your hand they grab onto it like the last train out of hell.

    The water was shallow enough that it could easily stand, and didn't seem to be in danger.

  • He wants out. That water is WAY too deep for a little baby like that. The water can get into his ears and cause a bad infection. I'd only recommend that much water on an ADULT.

  • I'm about to get 2 rats myself. Their names will be Salt and Pepper. I is happy!!!

  • hahaha my rat used to do that exact same thing ^_^ so cuuttee.

  • people that thinks rat are demons are bunch of butfucking biblesuckings fags rats are the most loyalest animal in the world and would never turn on human like dogs and cats and gay boys bunnies the one who say rat are ulgy need to look in the mirror and tell there self to beat it if anyanimal is ulgy its you your the one that are demons and ugly that why u cant find a bf or or gf that why you down animals you dont you should off your self

  • @eaglecody settle down. Rats are great pets, but you'll make people think only weirdos have them with comments like that!

  • Aww hes a cutie... and a good swimmer ^_^

  • @kez245 you should always put your hand in there so if they want to get out they can

  • oh he's gorgeous! :D

    he obviously didn't want out, he was paddling around and sniffing

    n___n looked like he was having fun to me!

  • anyone that thinks the rat want to get out of the water probably doesn't own a rat or understand how they behave. He's just exploring. Had he wanted to get out, he'd be much more anxious.

  • How can a rat be cute? RATS ARE UGLY DEMONS! JEEEEZE!

  • @Shaythaflip5 First: There are no such things as "demons".

    Second: Rats are beautifull creatures and has a very good reason to be in this world.

    Third: If your gonna complain, PLEASE troll on a paper or something cuz nobody wants to hear trolling from you.

  • @Shaythaflip5 You are talking about "ugly demons", yet you have not mentioned human infants. Those things look like little Martians, cry, smell, shit all over the place, drool, and cheese. Any rat is more intelligent than any human infant under 1.5 years of age. But it doesn't matter. Rats are, and will always be cuter than human infants. That's a fact.......

  • i have a rat exactly like that

  • aww he looks happy :) just swimming lol

  • Awww what a little cutie

  • @vivalabad6 you mean, WHAT A LITTLE UGLY DEMON!!!!!!

  • WOW. looks like one of my rats! :o

  • Poor rattie, hes trying to get out :(

  • @MarkotaSan POOR RATTIE HE'S UGLY HE'S A SATIN!!! JEEEEEEZE

  • rats do love to swim... but try to give him/her somewhere where they can sit out of the water and go back in when they like... i know i personally wouldn't like to be forced to swim (eventhough i enjoy it)

  • Ohgod people, you think too much. Rats and mice are awesome swimmers, they don't swim a lot, because they don't need it !!! just chill out , its just a cute swimming rat (:

  • oops. looks like a girl...nuetered?

  • she's like "get me out of here" lol

  • Omg, that looks exactly like my rat :O

    I can never pick mine up though their too vicious :( .. Cute ratt :)

  • @XxboomproductionsxX aparently u aren't very experienced with handling them correctly or if they really are as viscious as u say then they are snake food.

  • @eagleflyr Its because the old owners taumented them through the bars and their not used to me :(

  • I kinda acts like mine does when it wants to get out... Sure it's ok with being there?

  • OMG! its like a rat version of the Siamese cat! its soooo adorable!

  • TheYellowtulip, no offence but i disagree, if a rat has been introduced to shallow water where it is able to touch the bottom with both front and back legs it should be ok with more deep water after all they are natural swimmers (: i have two of my own btw :)

  • I think the water should be more shallow enough for the front legs to touch the bottom. It is hard for it to stand with its back legs for too long, it needs to rest once in a while on all four feet.

  • i don't think he really like !! nothing to go on , just water ..

  • How do you get your rat to cooperate in the tub like that? mine just scurries up my arm if i try to put her in the tub.

  • rats rock and yours is clearly the most adorables one ive seen. i cant wait to get one I LOVE RATS!!!!!!!

  • You should get two if you get any. :/

  • I know, when I take my rats out to show my friends and they say "I want one!" I always say, you should get 2 or more, they are social animals

  • I'm gonna get one, then once I'm used to taking care of it I want two! :D SO CUTE

  • That rat is adorable, but like people are saying the rat doesnt look like its enjoying the water too much. Even though people assume rats swim in water, live in sewers, exc. Remember, PET rats are NOTHING like WILD rats. Just as the dog was bred from the wolf, PET rats were bred from WILD rats. So although wild rats may be fine with swimming in sewers, but pet rats hate water, and since they're very clean animals, cleaning themselves often they shouldn't need a bath

  • I think pet rats evolved from cats, they act in so many ways alike.

  • that is like the custest rat!

  • fucking adorable

  • clearly not enjoying that too much

  • how cute. I wish I had a tube..

  • Comment removed

  • aw, ha like his nose :)

  • Thats cool, I may have to try that.

  • I recently got a siamese rat along with a mink! Very nice!

  • pfft, ever heard of sewer rats? they swim

  • its cute but dont you see she wants out of the tub? =(

  • yeah, she should have little stairs. it's not that awful not to have them, but i think she wants to come up and have a cuddle

  • looks exactly like my rat but he is bigger and is more cream on his back than white. But he has the same colouring.

  • what tempurature do you generally make the water?

  • she is so cutty! i like her black nose!

  • SOO cute Im just scared to put more water in my bath tub while I give my two rats a bath because there small & the bath is huge.

  • just slowly increase the water, and dont let the water run while your bathing them. for just swimming, they are okay because they are naturally good at swimming as long as they like it X3

  • Awhhhh! How sweet =].

    I love these kinds of videos. They always have nice comments ^-^.

  • it was trying to get out. my rat is like that 2...so i just take her out quickly. but it was soooo cute :D

  • Look, the rat want to get out!

  • He did not want to get out, as I'v already said the other rats didn't like it and jumped up the bath or climbed onto my hand so they got taken out. He was the only one who didn't do that and kept on paddling up and down

  • @kez245

    yes!

    because if he want to get out he wil scratch to the rim!

  • Holy crap how'd u get him 2 swim! Darn u lucky lol my rats afraid. :(

  • my rats love swimming the play and swim:D

  • aw! ^^

  • No, some rats LOVE the water. Mine did. Would just lounge around in a little pool I made for him out of an old glass pie pan. He was also a great swimmer.

  • Before filming I put my hand in several times to see if he wanted to get out, the other rats did he didn't so I decided to film him

  • Rudolph the red nosed rat!

  • Its a siamese! I've always wanted one with those markings and yes she is very cute :P

  • oh my that has to be the cutest rat on earth! i have 1 but shes a lilstinker and stuff the poops in the tub

  • My rats don't need baths and do clean themselves, I just wanted to see if he liked water and liked swimming, which he did

  • @kez245

    some time's my rats don't clean themselves very well and i have to get something pink off my ollies back XD

    but she loves the towel afterwards XD

  • either my rat is super inteligent, or i doesent need baths. cuz my rat washes herself like a cat, and its very cute :P

  • were did you get this little rat?

  • He came from a pet shop, but I try and get ny rats now from breeders

  • poor rat

  • lol siamese

  • ummm..... were those rat terds in the tub?

  • haha what a cutie... he swims just like a dog!

    I was thinking about putting mine into the bathtub too, but he'd probably kill me... :D

  • wow. she looks exactly like my rat :D

  • Aww bless, I have 3 rats and 2 of them love a swim but Charlie likes to sit on the upturned wash basket and watch but its not worth forcing them to do anything, but you lil rat is soooo cute xxx

  • U can see he enjoys being in the water, not like some of the vids on here ive watched were there being forced to swim and are scared stiff! He's realy cute!

  • Aaaaw, he is cute! ^^

  • my ratties hate bath time...

  • So cute! You've set it up perfectly, he can swim AND stand in the water. So he can do what he wants =) so cute, I'd wish my rats liked water!

  • Aww, i discovered the other week that one of my rats cant swim. I usually bath them in a bucket but because the bath tub was full aleady i just put them in there. The little one was swimming around fine but the big one just sank so i had to hold him up the whole time.

  • I love it when rats have these markings but I 've forgotten what its called. Any ideas?

  • I think its agouti or something like that

  • Thanks :)

  • No...Siamese. Agouti it's a marron colour.

  • Yeah, it's not a himalayan like it says in the text - himis don't have the coloured spot at the root of the tail, they just have the one on the nose. Siamese have both spots =)

  • omgomg!!!! sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THAT'S SO ADORABLE!

  • FREAKING CUTE!!!!

    I'll do that with my futur rats (if they like water)

  • You're rat is so pretty! My rats don't like to be put in water but they absolutly love having it poured over them, strange animals! lol :)

  • He is too cute! :) I think it's awesome you let him have some playtime in the bath!

  • to much water in there

  • Aw so cute! I'd do that with my rat but he hates water.

  • I have exactly the same rat! <3

  • My 2 old rats hated bath times!! But sometimes they just needed a good clean, they pooped so much whilst I was bathing them!

    I'll have to see what my 2 new ones think of the water!

  • My rats do not want to swin :(

    This one is very cute, it seems to be the as my Gaston ^^

  • my little louis loves water!

  • cool

  • what a pretty rat!

  • mean would have been making the water too deep for him to stand. as long as he can stand, he has the ability to jump out at any time. it is VERY rare, but there are rats that enjoy the water, sometimes so much that their human has to keep the toilet seat down to stop them from jumping in during free roam time. this rat is lucky to have a human who loves him enough to let him enjoy his passion for swimming. he is so handsome too.

  • if he didnt like being in there he would jump out if he hated it that much , because bath tubs arent that high , becuase my rats hate water & they always jump out & its not high for them at all .

  • Cute.

  • i think, this rat likes water. it's true, some rats like water some rats don't. My rat ketchup(he died a month ago=() didn't liked water. my rat joey loves water. he's also jumping into the water!=)he was also acting like that and i also though he wants to get out, but when i put him out the water, he jumped into it again!XD it was so funny

  • I HAVE A RAT NAMED JOEY TOO!!

    hahaa.

  • HE'S TRYING TO GET OUT! he keeps trying to climb up the side. rats hate water..that is so mean.

  • He not trying to get out, if he wanted to I would have got him out and rats are very good swimmers. Not all rats like it and like I said he was the only one that enjoyed it.

  • Not all rats hate water! I had a couple of rats who LOVED water.If this rat hated it,he would of been jumping to try and get out or climbing up the owner's arm!

  • Every rodent tries to get out of the tub when they want, so a RAT could jump out if he wanted,

    I'm rating 5 Stars!!

  • REally? when they do not have solid footing, they can jump out of the water? Have you guys taken video of that...?

  • Are you sure that rat was having fun? seriously-Looked like he wanted out..I would believe he liked it only if there was an island he could access, and still decided to stay in the water. That just looked unkind. He could not escape?

  • I know my rats and he was perfectly fine in there and if he wanted to get out he would have jumped up the side of the bath or scrambled up my arm like the others did.

  • Omg! You're horrible!

  • Thats too effin adorable, only 2 of my babies -tolerate- bathing, lol!

  • LOL Thats so cute! My rat Jade will stand in shallow water to eat peas but will NOT take a bath LOL All of my rats hate baths. Once I made the mistake of washing 5 of them together. Never again.

  • Aww, how cute! Jasper looks like my rat Cyrus. I ought to see if he likes water... he's *hyperactive* (because he's so young).

  • How do you do that? I mean, my rats just jump out and go crazy!! How do you get them to like water?

  • Hi I didn't get him to like water :-) he was just the only one out of 9 that liked water.

    You could keep trying them water, such as try pea fishing in a small tray to get them use to water

  • yeah, ok! ;D
