The only thing valid on this vid is the sexing info...it won't hurt to give rats grubs..but no need in USA because well nourishing rat blocks are available..the newspaper advise is silly..the ink hasn't been toxic for over 40 years..the base tends to be soy since then...please don't use his advise to care for your rat. OMG.

Obviously those 35 years were not spent studying rats. This is the worst advice I've ever heard!

Lift by the tail?!

That cage?!

Cat litter as bedding?!

No lab blocks?!

Ugh. I was going to forgive all the terrible information in this video because I was sure it had to be from the early 90s... but nope, there at the end: 2008. Jesus rollerblading Christ.

@KGIPopsicicle Oh lord. No it will make them sick. Read up a bit on rats and I hope to god you don't own one, must be an unhappy little thing.

[RoscoTheRat]

@WeLoveBeingRandom They may not own a rat but they are completely right. -_- 

[RoscoTheRat]

@RoscoTheRat Ps and that food is totally unhealthy for them! Homemade or lab blocks is the way to go with the food.

WHAAAT!? NEVER pick up a rat from its tail. Never keep them in tanks, either. And you can introduce older rats to young and other adult rats. :/ And if you use cat litter, only use paper based bedding! No ceder, and no pine!

The whole "tanks make your house less smelly" is because the stink is trapped with them, and can cause respiratory issues. Just litter train them and the smell will go down dramatically.

I don't care how long you've been studying for buddy, you don't know sh*t about rats
