  • This film shows a day in the life of my 5 pet rats Alfie, Bertie, Oskar, Theo and Charlie. You will see the rats exploring the house, being naughty, stealing food, eating, sleeping and grooming and having lots of fun.
    If you don`t have rats yet and wonder how it will be like sharing your house (and life) with a group of rats watch this film and you will get an idea.
    Also watch my follow-up video "A Day in the Life of my Rats - 28 Weeks later": • A Day in the Life of m...

    It takes a brave and humane person to love and care for an ephemeral being like a rat. Their short life spans are sad, but really teach us the true meaning of love.

      Animalier We are brave, we have to be. But you're right, it is entirely worth it. Wouldn't be without rats.

      Rats live for 1-3 years and if you own several it's easier to get over the passing

      Animalier its all relative. to us it is a short life but from our rats perspective they live long happy lives
      Derek Riley if your rats are only living 1 year then you arent giving them the care they deserve and no it never gets easier

    • @NadineMitschunas
      @NadineMitschunas  4 года назад +1

      I can really relate to this, I was always devastated when I lost one of my rats. Eventually it got too much for me and I gave up having rats which is a shame as they are such great pets. But the short life span is really difficult to cope with.

The Christmas video is such a delight to watch and they are ever so sweet as well. You have trained them very well. By the way my third boy is called Roland as in Roland the rat that used to be on television.

    Always sad when the die. Wish they each lived 10 years. Each one is so different, my 3 little brothers are so different from each other as you and every other rat lovers know. The aren't just Rats, they are Binky and Jack and Dobby, or Marnix or Zeddy, as we could see with your Charlie and Theo all so different.

      That is really sad. I lost several rats due to breathing problems, most recently my rats Mickey, Timmy and Charlie. Mickey was only 8 month old when I had to put him down, Timmy and Charlie survived until they were nearly 2 years old. Seeing the suffering really is the worst, it is heart-breaking. I don`t know why rats are so susceptible to breathing problems :-(.
