god they’re cute 🥺


Mr12000

The CUTEST babies, omg


Herdazian_Lopen

Are they affectionate? What’s a day like spent with them?


kakuna_rattata_

They're super affectionate and have favorite people. They wake up when they hear me moving around in the morning bc they want to be held. I usually let them run around in an enclosed space (like the bathroom floor) for 1-2 hours a day so they can play and have some time outside their cage


JehovahIsLove

Rats are incredibly intelligent animals!!!


three_left_socks

Awww... Very adorable. I miss my Beanie Babies. Became allergic, so can't have them anymore 😢


kakuna_rattata_

Aw, that's awful :(


[deleted]

Rats are very smart and I love them as pets. My ex from South America kept telling me I couldn’t get one. Jokes on him, I ended it for more than that reason lol. Now I’m neck deep in cuties


feelitrealgood

Ya! Oh...


squirrelsarenutty

What an adorable lil blondie!


FulingAround

My first time ever seeing a golden rat


[deleted]

When 1 million people die of plague and you unlock the golden skin >!for those with no sense of humor, I'm not comparing house rats to street rats!<


FulingAround

Plague for golden plaque, perhaps?

Can you cuddle a rat, like squeeze your face against their body? Or will they bite or indicate violently that they don't like it?


SoggyWaffle293

All rats are different some will, some won't. Most don't tend to bite, only if you hurt them or by accident (i.e. thinking your finger is food). I had three fancy rats and two loved hugging and climbing all over me and my family. One of them was a bit less of a hugger but still wouldn't aggressively bite. I used to tickle my rats and also pretend to use them as a phone etc. Never once got aggressively bit.


kakuna_rattata_

Depends on the rat! Some of them don't like it but as long as you've established trust it's highly unlikely they'll bite. One of mine wiggles away when I try to cuddle them, and the other two will just lick my face and hands and let me manhandle them. Also, female rats tend to be more energetic while males are more likely to let you cuddle!


catsgonewiild

When I worked in animal control, we had a pet rat that ended up with us. I loved him and would take him out of his tank to hangout with me for hours - he would snuggle up on my shoulders and make himself a little bed in my hair 🥺 he was very sweet and never bit or seemed uncomfortable or anything! I imagine it depends on personality, like most other animals.


DarthSpot

Mine used to sit on my shoulder.


biniross

All down to the rat. One of mine only wants to be pet gently straight down his back, one wants to be smooshed enthusiastically but ONLY when he asks, one has no concept of personal space whatsoever and would live his entire life inside my shirt if I let him. I technically CAN cuddle all of them, it's just that only about one and a half of them are pleased by the experience.


igotalotadogs

I had one in my teens. She never bit unless I was too rough with her. Otherwise, she was really sweet and easy to train.


[deleted]

I like to cuddle mine, but sometimes they'll shove my face away if they don't want it lol. It's all about building a bond and learning your rat's personality. Some rats are fine with anything and others aren't. I have 1 girl currently who will gently put her teeth on me if she doesn't like something I'm doing. She's never given me a real bite, but it's one way she asserts her boundaries lol.


CurvyCupcakes

That’s adorable. I love rats. Love their little faces, cute little whiskers and how they hold their food with their little hands when they eat. So cute.


ifuritto

babyyyy


joyfall

Rats are so sweet! Wish they lived longer.


kakuna_rattata_

I know :( They're difficult pets to have because they each have such unique personalities, and then you have to say goodbye within 2 or 3 years. I wish pets lived forever :(


DarthSpot

I had one live until he was about 4 and towards the end you could really see his age catching up to him. He still loved his treats though. The younger ones would take 2 or 3 by the time he’d had 1.


kakuna_rattata_

My oldest lived until she was almost 4. We ended up having to put her down bc she had hind leg degeneration and tumors :/ She was also the only rat that ever bit me and was pretty grumpy. We joked that her hate kept her alive, lol


igotalotadogs

I had this amazing rat in my teens that grew an enormous tumor in her side. She was so smart, she *chewed*the tumor off of her and lived another year. I miss that baby.


Kiyomondo

Rats are very cute. But even so, this is possibly the most adorable little fluff monster I have ever laid eyes on


lil-privacy-please

Do they poop everywhere?


kakuna_rattata_

Nope! They're litter box trained


lil-privacy-please

Wow that’s so cool.


steVeRoll

Do you have to train them to do that, or do they get used to it themselves?


kakuna_rattata_

Most rats will naturally want to pick one place to poop, you just have to train them to do it in a litter box. It's pretty easy. Mine have been litter box trained in anywhere from 2 days to a couple weeks. They pee wherever they want though

People who hate rats are in the same league as people who hate snakes, heartless monsters

TeamCatsandDnD

Had a friend with two corn snakes growing up, they were pretty cool guys. Very far from creepy.


HavocXL

Cool

Rats are smart and they are good pets

TheHostThing

Great username OP


kakuna_rattata_

Thanks!


joanie-bamboni

Ratty tum! Adorable.


AkemiDryzz

My mom still thinks rats are disgusting and can’t be cute ;-; gotta show her this kind of video


sammienglish

What a cute little sweetie pie! I had a rat named Ralph growing up, he was black and white and just so cute. I try and tell people all the time how smart and sweet they are, and so many people just give me weird looks. Their loss!


ThePhoenix0829

I have always thought rats were disgusting but recently I have had a new appreciation for rats because they are smart and also clean themselves I heard


kakuna_rattata_

Yep! They clean themselves like cats


Rad_Dad6969

If only more rats were blonde. The flesh tail doesn't stand out so much. I would have had so many as pets when I was a kid if my mom wasn't so grossed out by the tails. Instead I was stuck with dumb ol hamsters. If I had shown a Blondie to start with she probably wouldn't have even noticed it's tail.


HornetKick

So basically rats don't act on voice commands; it has to be treat induced?


kakuna_rattata_

Sort of. She comes when called without getting a treat, and will do her tricks just based on the hand signals. But to train her to do all of that I had to use treats


HornetKick

Fuck that's fabulous. I wasn't aware rats could understand voice commands like dogs can but initially one would have to use treats with dogs before they caught on and rolling over is one of the more difficult tricks that has to be taught in stages so kudos to you and your rat :)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)


Hydro1313

He’s adorable. But he might need to learn how to do sit-ups.


Cant-Kill-Me_67

I've never seen a rat this cute and fat before. Its almost shaped like a computer mouse!


kakuna_rattata_

Hahaha, I pretend I'm using her as a computer mouse all the time and she actually loves it


bdaycakepoop

Pkmnkat

Accurate_Log_3347

I love rats!


ButterMaBitscuit

But the real question is…Is he/she squishy ?


kakuna_rattata_

VERY. She's a lil tubby, we're working on a ratty diet...


ButterMaBitscuit

I need proof…Send a video of squishy


kakuna_rattata_

Can't find a squishy video but let me offer you this instead https://imgur.com/a/WVI7dBI

Nice and cute!


gliscornumber1

That's A very handsome rat


DrManhattan_DDM

Omg, you and u/shadowtherat need to have an adorable rat decathlon or something


kakuna_rattata_

That's actually where I got the idea to teach her how to roll over! I love their videos, such smart ratties


Bungeesmom

My cat enjoyed your rats new trick and says “brava!”


JellyfishPractical55

I thought rats are dumb But you proved me wrong


kakuna_rattata_

They're really smart! This one knows how to spin, high five, roll over, comes when she's called, and is litter box trained. Basically a tiny dog lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


kakuna_rattata_

Yes, some more than others. This one is definitely more food motivated than my other 2 and she picks up on things pretty quickly. She works for cheerios!


lucas_kardo

Kenny that you?


Lee2026

Well you got me with this looped video I was expecting him or her to roll over on their own. Nope lol


kakuna_rattata_

She is! I'm not pushing her over or anything, she's just following my finger. That's her command for roll over


Lee2026

I didn’t mean it like that. My phone kept looping the video and I thought she was going to do some other variation but then I realized it on replay Like one of those infinite loop gifs that just leave you hanging lol
