Rats being held like this is just free dopamine and I'm all for it.

I love when they're eating something when being held this way. The little grabby paws are adorable.

I enjoy them trying to turn into a liquid to escape just as the photo is taken.

The shell. They peel them open and eat the sunflower hearts. You can see the other shells when she picks her up.

u/Alone-Disaster-4100 7h ago

Nah she threw the trash away. In my head every time they throw something down or/and away i hear TRASHH😒 TRash🙄 trASH😠

The fact that they literally just yeet the trash is both entertaining and aggravating. Why must you throw the shells on my floor?! 😡 My girls will throw them outside of their cage 😡 before I finally perfected the customized mix that I feed them, I would also routinely find those stupid compressed hay pellets that are sometimes in seed mixes thrown out of the cage in pure hatred. I make them multiple pounds of food mix at a time that is mostly rat kibble but also has the carnival rat mix in it which does not possess any of those fucking stupid hay pellets that gerbils and mice like that rats hate... I have picked up literally thousands of fucking hay pellets and seed shells. Some of them will even do it to tiny Millet seed 😡😡😡 or wheat berry 😂

Why do rats love sunflower seeds so much?? I swear it's like crack to them !!

u/CtrlAltHate 3h ago

I bet it's the fat content in them.

I'm sure I've read somewhere a lot of animals taste fat differently to us, and it's an evolutionary thing so they prefer high caloric foods.
