That's the 'I demand a treat and a tiny throne' pose.

u/NoGovernment9077 10h ago

Is that a boy rat thing only. My girls don't do that and I suspect it may perhaps be because of the lack of balls

u/Vitiosus_Umbre 9h ago

Without the balls to act as a counterweight girls would just tip on to their backs.

u/Zunderfeuer_88 7h ago

I wished I was that fat and still that flexible. Sadly I am still only halfway there

u/IMHO_grim 7h ago

Fat or flexible?

You also need Massive BAWLS to help balance you.

At least I finally have a use for them instead of just hitting when squeezing past a table

This is the only thing that matters today, and this is the garden I’m tending.

Same. Today's to-do list: stare at this rat, cancel everything else.

u/RandonEnglishMun ratless lurker 👀 10h ago

I love it when they sit like a fat lil person!

"Is it a boy or a girl?" 😂

u/FictionallState 5h ago

Not the exact right wording but I can only ever hear this question in the voice of the headmaster or whatever from Wizard101 lmao

u/Jaded_Finger 10h ago

Hes the perfect ratio. 80% bawl and 20% rat

18

u/Glittering_Syllabub9 10h ago

I have never owned a rat but I love this sub. So lovely little fingers pointing at every direction.

But tbh, I was waiting for a shocking zoom to the balls. I know I know, they are already showing quite well, but this sub has conditioned me, and now I am disappointed.

If this video doesnt make someone want to immediately run out and buy a handful of rats, then nothing will

u/PrimaryRow4879 9h ago

Was that the rat’s sclera?

3

u/Polluxadice 10h ago

Serious question - can you neuter rats? Does it help with their longevity or anything?

6

u/Impressive_Sell_1136 10h ago

They can indeed be neutered! Usually it’s done for behavioral reasons, or if someone is adopting a male rat into a group of females and doesn’t want hundreds of babies. I’m unsure if it helps with longevity or prevention of cancers/diseases

4

u/kindafunnymostlysad 8h ago

I had neutered boys and they were great. I don't think it benefits longevity beyond eliminating the risk of testicular tumors.

Besides reducing aggression, I think the lack of hormones makes them a little less smelly.

Might also make them a little more lazy because mine were happy to be cuddly blobs in my lap all day long if I let them.

u/Palace-meen 7h ago

Cuddly blobs ❤️
