Have you ever seen a rat this big?
Either have I, and my wife brought it home too....
That is 10" from the bottom of the cage, to the top if the cage.....the tail is another 8-9" long.....in the lightweight carrier, it weighed 2lbs, 10.5oz.....

That doesn't even meet the minimum driver weight/height requirements at Mel and Hoopty's track!

Re: Have you ever seen a rat this big?
Very cool-- my kids each have one. They are quite social and intelligent (the rats, not my kids ).
The rats go on our camping trips as well- they enjoy falling asleep on the kids near the warm campfire.

We adopted him from a local Petco, as he was dropped off by a family that did not want to take care of him anymore.
My wife wanted another rat (previous one died a year or so ago) and whom am I to tell her no for a 5$ donation fee?
Besides, I have to have some leverage when 5 new vehicles show up on Monday by both UPS & Fed-Ex

My kids are social and intelligent.
We have 2 guinea pigs to keep them occupied.

That thing is huge, you have to make it a helmet and put it in one of your cars jsut for a picture! That would be real funny.

It might eat the car. Seriously.RC Chick wrote:That thing is huge, you have to make it a helmet and put it in one of your cars jsut for a picture! That would be real funny.
We tried to put it in a carry home cardboard box from Petco, it had it's head threw a self made hole in under 2 minutes.....they gave us a plastic carrier off the shelf.

Extremely friendly so far..it likes to be petted like any cat or dog. I have a cage 2x the size ready for him, just looking to either make or purchase a stand to keep it off the floor.RC Chick wrote:Wow thats a determined Rat! But seriously that is a huge rat.

Re: Have you ever seen a rat this big?
very cool! I was going to suggest a bigger cage but since its new I figured you would work it out. I had a rat when I was about 12-15 I had to find it a new home cuz when I went to live with my dad he said no way. I loved my rat he was a fawn color, I used to take him to school with me and he'd stay in my locker all day. I even made him a rack to sit on my handle bars of my bike, he loved to sit up there and ride with me.
Re: Have you ever seen a rat this big?
The cage he is currently in is a 10g bottom, with a cage topper. The new one (well, new to him) will be 30" tall, 29" wide, and 15" deep, 3 levels.....

Much cuter than the rats I see running along the tracks while I'm waiting for the subway. Probably a lot friendlier too.
