Pretty simple. The best way to travel with your rat in my opinion is putting them on your shoulder. If you have a little leash for them its the best way and they get to see the world. Also in the winter when I want my rats to get a little fresh air I just put them in my large coat pocket or sleeve. My body heat keeps them warm. Finally rats should not play in snow, but they sure love to eat it. A bottle cap of clean snow & a little apple juice is like a snow cone to them lol.

It seems that she knows more than you do.
One of the pet rat’s most well-known and praised characteristics is their curiosity, which goes hand-in-hand with their high intellect (for such a small animal), and many rats are somewhat adventurous. New things to explore or investigate can be fun and interesting for rats. Some rats may not like travel or new things, due to their personality or a hostile growing environment, but that is not typical of ALL RATS or anything. almyki

Hey any of you who want to critizise her your kinda mean… id like to see you guys put up a better video of rats. I think it was a good video but the only thing is that the fancy bag isnt good and neether is the one they chew out of. its better to keep them in a small travel CAGE. not bag. But your still awesome expertvillage. Hope you keep on putting up these vids about rats.

‘Pet rats LOOOOVE …
‘Pet rats LOOOOVE to go to new places with you’
‘Pet rats LOOOOVE to travel’
‘Take your rat to a friend’s house…’
Rats actually are neophob, which means ‘afraid of the new’ They don’t like to travel, they want their habitual environment. EVERY transport means stress for your rat. And they are not pets, which you should take on a visit to your friend’s -.-
Too much of this unnecessary stress can cause heart attack, fur shaving and other mental illnesses.
THIS WOMAN IS NOT AN EXPERT AT ALL!!!

Actually the bag is a ‘pathologists satchel’ They are used when skeletons are dug up and taken back to the lab for examination.

I like my rats to be in a small hamster sized, WELL AIRED!!!! cage when I have the move them.
I think more along the safety aspect rather than what the carrier actually looks like… for heaven sake, they’re not toys you can play with!!
