I’m slightly disgusted really that such a cute website would show a video of animals caught up in experimental research. I’m not going to deny that the rats were enjoying that because they certainly were, and I know my rats LOVE to be tickled but its sad really, because telling by their size those poor rats were probably bred specifically for that experiment and will probably be disposed of afterwards, hopefully through euthanasia but they may be passed on for further experimenting or brain disection to further the laughing tests. Poor little ratties :( the world would be much better if scientists put up posters saying *we are wanting to conduct an experiment on whether tickling rats makes them laugh – anyone wishing to lend their companion for a day of fun and enjoyment contact us now! All ratties will be returned happily!* that way no ratties would suffer.

Wow, this is great! BTW, the guy sure had a smile on his face too when he was tickling the ratties. Awww, they’re such cute creatures! I LOVE RATS!

That man has the best job ever. Tickling rats for science! Pure awesome.

I don’t know if this was mentioned earlier by anyone, but why would the rats follow the dude’s hand if they didn’t enjoy what the hand was doing? If they did not like hand action, they would run away from said hand. So, I’m thinking they dig this.

please do not show animals that are caught up in experimental projects, it is too depressing

I’d love to be the grant writer on this project!

CO ducks, chickens, ferrets and kittens rule. Is there anyone who loves this site the way I do who is not seriously thinking vegetarian? I have seen such horrid videos of frightful things done to animals -even free range chickens…with names like Alec Baldwin behind the exposes. The faux fur lie, the dog and cat patchwork leather from China. I never knew it was so terrible and because of Cute Overload, it comes home strong with a lot of pressure. I do need good veggy recipes. Thanks Kip

Its all about a good balanced diet, a lot of play, and fresh air. I regularly walked my boys out in the sun, not on a leash but in a run, similar to the ones you would put rabbits and guinea pigs in. Sunshine is so good for rats! But be careful if you live in an area that has wild rats, as they can carry Weils Disease in their urine……

6 years!! DANG. Darkshins you could start a whole rattie longevity movement! Rattie lovers would love for their babies to live longer than 2-3 max years.
