How high rats can jump Videos

+alex madrigal well, yah ALOT//isamu.weebly.com/individual-rat-behaviours.html

Uhh I don't know if YOU know anything about rat behavior as that is 100% NOT what the rat was doing. He was trying to find somewhere to hide. He was out in the open and not feeling comfortable and was kind of freaking out. Rats feel more comfortable when they are hidden as they are prey animals. They don't have very good vision either so the rat thought that guy was a stationary object and he tried to climb it to get up high. He was not looking for a "friend" and the rat is very obviously wild as the coloring is most common in wild rats.

+sky peters im sorry for your loss. i once had a pet rat. my little cousin accidentally bit its head off.

the rat in this video took about a week(: but my other took about a month just because she didn't like to focus for long periods of time

do no cuss some are nice and that is very inapropit

...aight

+Savannah Stanley I doubt it is :) (I can't say though, I never trained my rats. They're only a teeny bit more than a month)

It's been almost 5 years so I think the rats have already aged and died. Anyways, I've owned rats over and over again and if you train them when they are young, they can jump as far as 1 meter... and as high as .5 meter. I've managed to teach a few to jump towards a rope (string) and swing for a while then climb up to a platform. They usually do it just for fun. Teaching rats to swim and float is way more difficult.

Fool. Rats love playing! And they love human contact. They are naturally extremely agile at jumping and fantastic climbers. Though I think maybe they should've let them out the box sooner rather than keep putting them back... but they were not distressed. A rat in distress would usually send out a distress call via a lot of squeaking.

LOL, I was starting to think my rat was gifted in high jumping! I see now that other rats do it too lol! It just came off as strange to me when my rat jumped when I first got her because my rat I had b4 never jumped, let alone right out of his aquarium! She can jump out of the bathtub too, so now bath time is more of a struggle lol.

BINGO! I am a huge PIXAR fan but I have been wanting to have rats for more than 20 years! I studied a lot for long time and am having a fun time with them every day. I was amazed to find out rats don't need much care. They don't stink and I wash the cage only once a week. They are wonderful pets.

They are so cute, I have about a 3 1/2 foot tall cage and my 4 older ratties can launch from the bottom to the top shelf with no problem, but my 2 younger ones have yet to make it that far. I really love your adorable ratties, they are so cute, I want some just like them to add to my family =)

im a new rat owner ive had em for about 3 weeks now and they already love me they are so well tempered and playful they are the best

Thanks for the comment. I was amazed how much they can jump even though they are small. I enjoy having them. They are so cool!

u guys r so lucky you guys can have rats i want 1 or 2 but my mom doesnt like rats she thinks its dirty and stuff but i lovem

I don't think they like it in there. I suggest a much bigger play area such as a bed, and some hiding spots out of boxes.

im sorry to say .. very cute but, .. they are scared and they are trying to escape the box ... still cute tho :)

these rats are horefied! Thay are cared and want to escape ASAP!!! Don't do this to your animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive read its bad for mice and rats to be on newspapers becuase it can poinson them with the ink is this true?

Very cute. I love the Blazed one. :D You should see how high mine can jump when it's bathtime... X_x

Yep. I learned that rats can jump very far and high. I watched my rat jump 2 or 3 feet once!

mine can jump way higher than that. she would jump clear out of the box.its really agile.

@hoolahooop it used to be like that, but nowadays the ink isn't bad for them anymore (:

Rats are extremely good jumpers. By the way, your rats look very, very healthy!

The silver and white rat is so pretty-I want one that color.^_^
