How long do rats actually live? Some people that I know that also have rats say to about 7 and others say to about 5. A web site i went to says 3 but my rat is passed 3. ♥ I got a rat about 4 years ago when he was a baby. How long do rats actually live?

Not the usual noises either. He also lifts up his each leg when he walks. He gets his vitamins in his water like he has been and he does have a rat ball to get exercise but I have noticed he doesnt walk around in his ball either. His plate of food goes untouched as well. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do for Milton? Thanks so much.

If you dont have the money for a vet visit then I suggest antibiotics. One of my male rats had gotton slow and lethargic and supressed appetite a while back but with the help of anitbiotics he was better within a week. Tetracycline and Amoxicillin seem to work best. Although he may be healthy and has been well taken care of he could also be old ( in a sense as some rats live to be only a year while others can live 3 or more) or he may have arthritis or respiratory problems ( may be why he's not exercising in his ball ). I wish you luck and hope your ratty gets better. M.Thomson:
