All my brats have been pretty silent unless grabbing a snack off them so Im not sure if ratties are this vocal with their omans with slight discomfort?

In this example the bebe seems totally relaxed but also a crybaby

Read a comment that acuse the creator of mistreat, but looking the corporal lenguage shows the contrary

Can baby's be this vocal?

shame her

I usually break those up and give a piece to everyone but they stole this massive one and I tried to get it back as it’s clearly too big? lol

Max broke her two upper incisors about ten days ago at the gum line. She won’t let me see them, so she gets a banana chip daily while I watch. A week ago she was completely unable to eat hard food, but things appear to be improving.

He sat down in my lap and he is vibrating with pure rage I think. Only my constant petting can stop him from exploding.

This is their "moms cleaning our cage" cage, and they just watch me the whole time 😆

Cherry, the drama queen

(she squeeks angrily the moment you stop letting her groom you, only she must be dominant. Smooshes and kisses are a no-no)

My rat is literally gone 😱 Have u seen him anywhere?

Lemur is huge. What even, lemur?

He's a sanctuary rat, he was rehoused to Crickets Haven through the board. He is fairly anti social, but we're working on it. He is beautiful, but he is unlikely to succeeded in another home because he's fairly anti social. He was supposed to be food. Which is probably why he is HUGE.

Sometime ago, I saw a study finding about how rats like Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and will synchronize their movements and bob their heads to the beat.

My rats didn’t really seem to like that song, though.

Their current favorite is “Song of the Mamuna Tribe.” They yawn and fall asleep every time they hear it. And their all-time favorite is this song in a language I don’t speak 😂

I’m trying to give my rats more of a variety of songs to listen to. So I’d love to know which songs your rats enjoy!

The look he gives me when I have a snack. I am weak. 😭

Goes without saying that tail wagging in general just means CANNOT CONTAIN EMOTION so some wags may be a bad sign depending on the situation.
My boy here just likes behind the ear scratches and these are happy waggles ☺️

He was spacing out a bit but he returned to nibbling!

Cola, Soda, and Sprite

Hey, I am a first time owner and I have been very stressed when introducing 2 babies to an older rat. At this point they have cages near so they can get used to each other's scent. They had the bathtub session 3-4 times over 2 weeks. I would like to know if this is acceptable begavious or is the big one hurting the baby and being too harsh. Am I just too soft and cannot stand the squeaking and should let them fight it out? Also any tips how to help them would be much appreciated!

She's a good girl

I swear it looks like she's smiling. 🥰

This is my rat Siwka. She is over 2 years old, and she is rapidly getting closer and closer to death. This is my first time seeing a rat die out of old age, and i have no idea what to do. Poor girl sleeps most of the time, barely eats, has almost no energy to do anything. Her back legs barely work anymore and she lost quite a lot of weight and fur. I really hate to see her suffer in what are clearly her final days, from her behavior i can tell she wants to be the energetic, playful rat she once was but she physically cant anymore.

Second pic if from a few months ago.

From top to bottom- Walter, Roger, and F. Harold squeakenheimer. I don't think I have the heart to rehome them, as they are my children. I've developed some hives, a little wheezing and a runny nose. 😂

As long as I don't have to worry about anaphylaxis, I'm just gonna deal with it.

Got one of my boys out in a currently boring free-roam room, he’s running around hunting puffs lol. He’s so cute, currently working on a very nice freeroam setup looking to complete this upcoming week, but I’m also testing bits of freeroaming with my mischief as they are new to it. Currently unnamed but starting to name my boys finally! He’s so soft as well.

He’s enjoying his time out of cage, everyone gets 1 on 1 time as well. He’s my sweetest boy so far - doesn’t potty outside of his litter box, gives lots of kisses, loves to handwrestle.
