What is the average life span of a rat? My friend lost hers at about three years.
It averages between two and a half to about four, sometimes shorter and sometimes longer. I hope Honey will live at least three years. She is around 6 1/2 months old right now.

That rat sounds like she was awfully sweet. They are such nice animals. I love my ratties.

Willie, thank you for the kind words. I love Honey's tongue. In fact, out of all the animals I own I think rat tongues are the best. They aren't slobbery like dogs, aren't rough like a cats.......they are just perfect.
