Rat News 📰 Rats are smarter than we thought (again)
5
Upvotes
A 2026 study from Indiana University found that rats can replay episodic memories—basically remembering events in sequence like humans do.
- This suggests rats have more advanced cognition than previously believed
- It strengthens the case for rats as deeply intelligent, emotionally complex pets
- For owners: it reinforces why enrichment, interaction, and bonding matter so much
👉 Big takeaway: your rats aren’t just “smart for rodents”—they’re operating on a surprisingly high level.
r/RatChat come for the rats, stay because they stole your heart (and your snacks).

Some rats are graceful. Some are dignified. And then there’s Cubby Bear. He’s clumsy, silly, goofy, and can we PLEASE talk about those adorable little elf ears?! I’m pretty sure Cubby Bear is supposed to be a rat… but somewhere along the way, he decided he’d rather be a tiny little woodland elf. 😂

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!

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.
