    I absolutely adore rats, rodents are my special interest (rats being my favourite) but I don’t think I’d be able to own them again. They’re amazing pets but it’s so hard to loose them so soon. I wish it were easier to keep them for me, but when my boys died I couldn’t find it in me to continue owning them.

    My last rat just passed away and I will be taking a very long(maybe permanent) break from owning rats. Their lifespan and health issues wore me down, so stressful, sad and expensive. Loved them, but I can't do it again. No one should be judging you for not owning a certain animal, I think some rat owners(especially in facebook groups) are a little delusional about how much energy and time it really takes to properly care for them

    I can completely understand. Anyone telling you that your health and safety are not important are odd to say the least. You obviously care very much for all of your pets. I'm having to take a break from having ferrets after 12 years. I developed a skin allergy to them from their waste, I would get terrible, itchy hives especially if I got scratched. My heart ferret passed last year and it's been so hard. I had several who were seniors at the same time and it took it's toll on my finances as well. I've held onto one of their cages and some bedding so that if I'm ready again I have a place for them. But for now I just can't.

    Having rats can be a huge challenge and people don't realize that - if you don't have the ability to care for them anymore or it's impacting your health then you shouldn't feel obligated to! I'm glad you're doing what's right for you and your rats. You have plenty of other animals to share and care for :)

    Number 3 and 4, for me too. Yesterday I had to let another one go. My heart can't take it anymore, I reached my heartbreak limit. And strangly, I have a hard time bonding with new rats, I'm not expecting new rats to be the same loveable babies are my old rats, but I miss the oldies. Maybe it's like you said, and I'm just shielding myself from more heartbreak too.

    You're one of the first few people that inspired me to actually do proper research on rats, I had rats growing up amongst many other small animals, but they were never in the right setup because I didn't know any better. I stumbled across your channel, and it inspired me to keep rats again but in the right setup and the right diet. I've kept rats the last few years properly and even learned to make my own rat mix which my rats love, but I suffer some of the same issues you do so I understand how hard it is to make that decision. the rats I have left will be my last for a while but still being cared for, even I feel odd about not having them anymore one day.

  • @marzettik

    I feel like maybe you got pressured into making this video. I mean you already did a video explaining your allergies, and anyone who has been here a while knows about your chronic illness. I don't think you should have to sit here for over 20 minutes explaining yourself. Our lives are ever changing and that's okay. I mean I always wondered how you took care of so many animals in the first place. I only have one pet and on a bad illness day it takes everything I have to care from them. Don't doubt that you're making the right decision for you, at this time. ❤ Plus any person whose owned rats before, understands the heartbreak of their short lifespans and how your heart rats dig a place in your soul.

    @kluffu5061 2 дня назад

    Don't care that you stop owning rats for now, you're very educational for keeping animals. I wanted to have some small exotic pets like mice or something similar to just observe but then RUclips showed me your Channel and I saw rats and instantly fell in love with them. All your old videos helped me in the almost 2 years, had to neuter one of my old boys (I started with 3) and got 2 more rescued and they finally come along. Again just thanks to all your educational videos. I see your point with missing your old rats, my first 3 are omega shy, I can handle them, but they don't want to do anything with me. My new boys, they just want to climb on me and play with me and those will hit harder when they pass. I watch any video you upload, even if it's not rat related because I learn a ton for any other pet, even though I know a lot about cats and dogs already, still some new information I didn't know before.

    I have mice, i always really liked them and making their house very cool and inspiring, but suddenly i did not like them as much.. i have found the perfect owner for my group of girls, someone who loves hamsterscaping for the mice, so they are lucky. I have two old lady s and my little mouse man and they stay till they die. I loved guiny pigs but they are happy and popcorning till they are six and after that they are very boring and old and still live till they are about ten.. i did not like that part very much because when they get old they are not so fresh as well, they get a big scrotum, they leak urine, and their nails are deformed and not easy to clip. My great live is my rabbits, they have a big pen in the living room, with fleece liners, litterbox, box with hay and grass and veggies and kan walk freely in and out of their pen and roam free, sit on the sofa next to you, dont smell, run and jump and it is so funny ❤

    I hate that people are being nasty to you about your decision. They aren't going to be sitting with you in the emergency room if you have an episode of anaphylactic shock, so they can stuff it! I don't get to watch all your videos, but I watch the ones I can, because you're so meticulous about researching all your animals and giving them proper care. My sister has POTS and EDS and I've got endometriosis and adenomyosis and the fatigue has made it so hard to care for my beans properly. I've struggled so much with whether to keep going with rats, especially after developing allergies (milder than yours!).

    This is my 3rd time keeping rats, I'm 60 years old. I can fully understand your emotions. My adorable Zoomie goes camping with me! He turned a year in march, already has some grey hairs. (black with white feet, white blaze belly) Slowing down, cuddles under my hand (no choices there its happening!) He is my constant companion. His cage buddy Flash is sweet, but he's not my Zoomie. My 2 priors were Mamma as a teen. Later George when my oldest daughter was old enough to be gentle. I have asthma so rats were always a first choice for me. They are an amazing companion. But the short lifespan sure takes a toll on your heart.

    Extremely valid. I stopped for several years but just started keeping them again. My dad used to beg me to stop because I'd fall apart every time they passed which is quite often when you got different aged pairs haha. I've limited myself with 3 of the same age
