Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / April 2006longest life?
post your record-holder rat's life time! Personally my 2 current rats are the toughest I've ever hard. They are 2 years and 5 months old. One of them has 2 mammary tumors but still seem happy. The other one is top-shape. > post your record-holder rat's life time! > > Personally my 2 current rats are the toughest I've ever hard. They are 2 > years and 5 months old.

He has hind leg paralysis, but still manages to get around by dragging himself with his front legs. He is very skinny and looks so frail, but eats like a hog - as I type he's noshing on some boiled egg and before that enjoyed a dish of porridge for his breakfast. The old guy certainly loves his grub! Tracey My longest lived was my first rat, Simon. He was a feeder bin rattie from a big chain store, the only one I ever bought from a petstore. Simon was around four when he passed away. That was years ago, and I think that they definitely lived longer back then. More recent would be my old boy, Roger. I adopted him from the OSPCA at two and a half years old, and he just passed away at three years and one month. Roger was a cranky old man, and he wasn't that well when I adopted him. I tried what I could, but the antibiotics had no affect on him. I basically let him do whatever he wanted for the time I had him. > post your record-holder rat's life time! > > Personally my 2 current rats are the toughest I've ever hard.

My oldest living rat was Niko, he was 2 years and 10 months when he passed of old age. He did have slight rear end paralysis but he lived a good life till the end. His brother and sister passed at 2 years and 9 months while his other brother passed at 2 years and 8 months. This was a litter I had bred back in 2002 before I knew anything about rats. ;)  SignatureJoanne Owned by 17 rats. Webshot pics of my pets: http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 Our longest was our most recent, Arie. He lasted 3 years and 4 months, give or take a week or two (we weren't positive when he was born). We also had a girl, Robin, who lasted 2 years, 11 months. She even had surgery at 2 years, 6 months, and did quite well! > post your record-holder rat's life time! > > Personally my 2 current rats are the toughest I've ever hard.
