How to Pick Up and Hold a Roof Rat: Scruff and Support

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

I made that video in 2019, and Kitty lived to be nearly 4 years old and in perfect health. Roof rats make weird noises. Adults often make a chittering noise when they are happy to see you, and they make a weird vocalization when they are pissed off (see video_ https://t.co/I1oLs55cRG

Laughing baby roof rat. Turn the sound up and prepare to be amazed! 🥰🐀🤣

Did you know rats can laugh?

Scientists actually discovered that when rats are tickled they make tiny high-frequency sounds that are basically rat laughter.

So somewhere out there is a researcher whose full-time job was tickling rats.🤣

@squirrel_london I hope you'll be OK. In my opinion, the UK still has a great healthcare system.

@awood000 @FionneOrlander They actually have the same dilute mutation as Fawn colored Fancy Rats or Chocolate Mice.

We currently have the only colony of domesticated roof rats, but we would like to give them for free to other breeders so spread the word!
They are arboreal rats, so are better at climbing and jumping than Norway rats, and tend to prefer vertical spaces and feel safer high up (kind of like cats!) So cage height is just as important as floorspace, and you don't need to give them litter for digging because that's not their thing (but they do love stuffing their hammocks with grass and stuff!)
They are friendly to humans, but often don't like other rats they didn't grow up with so you can't just put two strange males in the same cage and expect them to be friends. They are somewhat more active than Norway rats, and even the males won't just sit still in one place unless you bribe them with food or petting.

How to show your rat some love! We demonstrate face, head and ear rubbing techniques on a very willing subject. 🥰🐀💖

@ArieRvanMarion Sure, I'm kind of lazy to teach mine, now, but I used to have some that would come when called, play fetch, dance in a circle, hop and stuff like that. They seem very smart and trainable. Not sure how they compare with Norway rats.

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

@ArieRvanMarion You can't, really, because they are a different species. Nobody has ever been able to cross them and obtain viable offspring. Anyway, they are perfectly good pets, so why bother to interbreed them? Just have a pet roof rat: problem solved!

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

@sprie95072695 We are letting people, especially breeders. adopt our roof rats, and we don't charge anything. We just want more people to be able to have them as pets, someday.

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

These Blonde roof rats are so calm and friendly. Someday, people all over the world will be able to have pet rats just like them. Maybe their children.🥰

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

Don't they look like cartoon or anime versions of rats? #AnimeAesthetic It's almost like if you asked @grok to generate a rat movie, but they are real! 🤣

Roof rats vs Fancy Rats: what's the difference? 🤔🐀

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

@realvicktoon They are calmer, less reactive and friendlier. Also, the females almost never kill or abandon their litters when disturbed (wild roof rats often do) and the males are less likely to fight with their cagemates.

[brian starr 🐀🥰 @brianstarr]

We are one of the few people who are breeding roof rats as pets. And we do not charge for them, either.

[🧜‍♀️real mer toon🧜‍♀️ @realvicktoon]

@brianstarr @YouTube i have not heard of breeding roof rats only norway rats or soft furred rats
