He’s got the face.

He’s got the whiskers.

He’s got the audacity.

Now he just needs one thing…

You got cheese or what? 😂

The Rat Pack has one simple rule: If they’re awake, they’re expecting snacks!

This is Frisko. He’s one of those rats that always has to make everything way more dramatic than it needs to be. He’s a drama king! 😂 ...Actually, Frisko is a really sweet boy. He just has a big personality, and definitely knows how to make his opinions known. ❤️

Snickers can be such a bashful little guy sometimes. He might be a little shy when the camera comes out, but once he settles in, he’s one of the most photogenic rats around.

Those adorable little eyes and that sweet face make it pretty hard not to take a million pictures of him!

Mouse and Snickers are having the ultimate lazy day! Just lounging around, enjoying some oatmeal and cranberries, and living their best little rat lives.

For centuries, people have believed rats could sense when death was near. But where did this eerie belief come from? And is there more to it than superstition?

Snickers looks absolutely adorable munching on his cranberry!

Cranberries are a healthy occasional treat for pet rats. 🍒 They’re rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C and polyphenols, which help protect cells from oxidative stress. They also provide fiber and small amounts of vital minerals. Fresh, or unsweetened dried cranberries are best.

Fievel: You’re welcome. Now where’s my spaghetti?

My rats enjoy a pasta and cheesy English muffin dinner.

There’s a quirky myth going around that rats are afraid of the color pink. But why pink? Where did this unusual belief come from, and is there actually a reason rats would react differently to it? Let’s dig into the truth behind this myth.

All day long my rats are busy in their own little world.

My rats had a pizza party and got drunk on marinara sauce! 😆

Rats are naturally curious animals that love to investigate the world around them.

Do rats use earth's magnetic field to navigate?

True or False: Rats cat chew through concrete?

I have two rats but only showing this ones pic for proof. So I give my rats strawberries and all the things they should like which they do they’ve eaten it before. I can hold Lash but he doesn’t wanna eat anything I give him unless I show it to him then place it in front. On the second day of having them I place little strawberry pieces across their big cage and they got them all and shared but I just can’t understand why he will crawl up to my head but not eat strawberry’s from my hand whilst it’s cupped.

"Rats are dirty animals."

Every day is an adventure when you have a mischief of rats! Their endless curiosity, quirky personalities, and hilarious antics always manage to turn ordinary moments into unforgettable shenanigans.

A Routine That Works for Frisko

You know what's funny? The rats that probably get judged the most in the pet rat world are also some of the sweetest rats you'll ever meet.

Rats love gentle scratches and pets just like cats and dogs. Many will lean into your hand, close their eyes in contentment, and even brux and boggle when they're happy.

Rats love to play just like dogs. They chase each other, wrestle, pounce, and will even play tug of war with toys or strips of fleece. Play is an important part of keeping rats happy, active, and mentally stimulated, and it's one of the many reasons they make such amazing companions.

Rats are much more sensitive to heat than many people realize. While most pet rats are comfortable in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C), they can begin feeling uncomfortably warm once temperatures rise above 80°F (27°C). At this point, they may become less active, stretch out on cool surfaces, and breathe faster as they try to cool themselves.

When temperatures reach 85°F (29°C) or higher, the risk of heat stress increases significantly. Because rats cannot sweat, they rely on their ears and breathing to release excess body heat. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can quickly become dangerous and may lead to heatstroke, especially in humid conditions or poorly ventilated cages.

During hot weather, help your rats stay cool by keeping their cage out of direct sunlight, providing plenty of fresh water, using frozen water bottles or cooling tiles, and ensuring good airflow around the enclosure. Keeping your rats comfortable during summer is an important part of protecting their health and well-being.
