at 21-22 he does like a little twitch does that mean anything? very calm and adorable rat i just got mine and shes very antsy and stressed its been 2 days

I know this is late, but

When he grinds his teeth he is bruxing, which either indicates extreme happiness or nervousness.

His eyes popping out of his skill is called boggling, which indicates the same.

But in this case, he's just loving the attention :]

R.I.P Bach Thi.

Is she a dumbo, or a hybrid? Those droopy ears are sooo lovely. Can I pet her?

[bloodiedkitten]

I know this is late, but he is a dumbo hooded :]

He's a petstore feeder, but he was my heart rat all the same :]

So Good...

If ratties had the life spans of cats or dogs they would be popular pets/companions.

I kinda wish I had males. I like how large they are and how they are content to just chill on your lap with you. My girl rats are almost always on the move. Any moments where they lie still are rare.

@maxa60 It would be nice if I could have a pet rat that could live as long as humans do. Not only these rats are smart, they can be extremely loyal towards their owners. They're pretty much the bite sized version of dogs, except they don't bark.

@ArachnidFanatic

Females are much more hypteractive than males. She will calm down with handling but expect her to be hyper for the rest of her life. Rats are great pets reguardless of the sex and some females will calm down a lot. Make sure to give her rewards for allowing you to handle her. Yogurt is a great one as they can't grab it and take off to eat.

@ArachnidFanatic Yeah let them get used to their new surroundings, try not to take them out too much during the first week or two. When they are obviously not nervous oh your presence, close off the area and open the cage door. Wait for them to get curious and inspect you. Be patient, don't rush it. When she finally makes her way out of the cage, give her a treat to gain some trust (my rats love fresh fruit. Try blueberries) Does she have a companion? It's highly recommended you buy 2 at a time.

One of my boys did this for the first time today :) He'd climbed down my top and fallen asleep and when I heard a weird noise I looked down and he was doing this. I was very happy :)

careful when you take them outside, i've heard horror stories of people getting their rats snatched right out of their hands by a large bird like a hawk.

When did this rat vocab come into existence? I read it on Dapper Rat (best ratsite ever)
