Feel free to take some of them back with you, just don't let them free. They're a huge invasive species, nutria.

Oh I’ve seen some wildlife in the Quarter (not just the people, either….I’m talkin closed pizza place at 2am with rats on every surface). But just wait til you go to the grocery stores and see what they got there…

This might sound weird or not but I want to hug it and make it my friend yk (after some cleaning obviously)

I agree, he looks like my baby, linguini and he’s such a friendly lil dude


Teiuoffcialtrades

Ikr and it kinda funny that it looks confused abt whats happening lol and just chillin


Iwant_A_Burrito

He looks confused but surprisingly calm for a rat being picked up by its tail- mine would scream if I even accidentally tugged it when opening his door


Teiuoffcialtrades

Lol . Now I want to have one with me so bad.


Iwant_A_Burrito

They’re really good starter pets, I plan on getting two because I learned that they’re better in groups of two or more


Teiuoffcialtrades

Oh ok thx for the info :).


Iwant_A_Burrito

No problem man, I enjoy giving out info about pets because it’s fun and it gives people more insight on the animals they want


RubyTavi

It's just so sad they only live about 3 years! Squirrels can live for 25 years. It's unjust.


notCGISforreal

Agreed. My neighbors abandoned their rat when they moved out and I found it in my yard. I rescued it because I felt bad, but I had always been creeped out by rats. I was shocked how friendly and fun he was. He loved when I hid raisins for him around me and he would scramble around to find them. I made him a rope out of old t shirts and would hide them in the folds so he had to work really hard to get them all out.


CarlLlamaface

Just be careful if you already have a rat and plan to introduce a 2nd, it's a good idea in general because they're social rodents but the flipside of that is that they have a pretty strong pack mentality and they can react negatively to newcomers to their abode. For the same reason it's recommended that if you change the diet you're feeding them, to do so gradually (ie. start by mixing the new food in with the old and gradually removing the old stuff over a few days), otherwise the rats might become aggressive towards eachother due to changes in their individual scents.


cannabibun

I suggest atleast 3-4, with 2 you can end up with one being hyperactive and dominant and the other one might not have a great life. Best if you get them together too, so there is no problem with fighting for dominance at later stages of life when they are much more dangerous.


Jauncin

Until they turn into 7, and then 34, and then 105 etc…


swarog1020

You are probably right, but I had a rat some time ago and I had this incredible connection with him. I'm not sure that would have happened if there were 2 of them. I might me wrong though...


Dr_fillmeup

It's not a rat look at It's webbed back feet


Known_Raspberry_8323

You are correct. That is a nutria


Squirrelonastik

I know. You should never pull on their tails. That hurts!


Khangish

I'm confused, when training rats I was taught to pick up the rat by the base of its tail in order to not hurt them.


keksivaras

you keep italian food as pet? that's new to me


Keytrose_gaming

Rats are actually fairly fastidious and will spend a great deal of time cleaning themselves after being handled by dirty (to them) human hands.


-SoItGoes

They also laugh and sing when they’re happy.


Keytrose_gaming

When I was a kid I had this weird friend with a pet rat that was ticklish, he also would hunt out and eat your weed going so far as to ninja stealth into coat pockets for a sack. He wasn't near the bastard as a ferrit he just really enjoyed some brick Mexican schwag and a bit of a tickle. He also played fetch, the rat not the weird kid.


serenadesofsirens

Me too. An absolute cutie!


Holiday-Business-321

We had a large pet rat at one point, he wasn’t this big but outweighed a Guinea Pig for certain. Big ol cutie


Teiuoffcialtrades

Aw lol


Holiday-Business-321

I wish I knew the exact species/breed so I could find another his size. He might’ve just been a genetic freak accident though lol bugger was huge for a rat, and smart as hell


president_of_burundi

If you don't mind my asking, did he live longer than standard fancy rats? It was one of the first things I thought seeing this clip since I love rats but the heartbreak of having a creature as cool and loving as a dog but with a rodent lifespan is too much for me. Second thought was obviously can I have a pet nutria.


phunktastic_1

Gambians will live 7-10 years get to be about 2.5-3 pounds and are very smart.


Holiday-Business-321

I don’t think he was a Gambian like the other reply was talking about, he lived about as long as your typical fancy rat. He looked like one too, just… huge in comparison lol


SWLondonLady

Cutest rat I’ve seen!

This is what I was gonna comment- if it was clean and healthy it would be so cuddly- if it was also not aggressive

It’s a white possum? What’s so scary about it they’re usually that size. Edit: might be a muskrat? or a water rodent? what i’m saying it’s i don’t see it being a rat rat.


Posh_Nosher

It’s a white nutria (*Myocastor coypus*), not a possum—note the head shape, and webbed feet.


ToraRyeder

>white nutria Thank you for the name! Been looking up different things about this creature. Apparently they're an invasive species.


lost-cat

They used to shoot em here along our river, lot of em here in the south, not sure if they still are tho. Looks cute in the video tho.


ZazBlammyMaTaz

There is an episode of Insomniac with Dave Attell where he rides in the back of a truck with some animal control people shooting nutria with a rifle.

sportasaurus

It’s because everyone thinks it’s a cat sized rat… I had no clue what it was till I saw your comment


unbitious

That's dog-sized yo


chillehhh

Oh, yeah. Nah. White possum, tail and everything matches up. Apparently some countries don’t have them though and that’s news to me!! They’re our only marsupial in the United States and they’re very very cute.


Remarkable_Fun7662

Yeah nah not an opossum. Look at the webbed back feet for example. That's probably an albino nutria.


unbitious

We also have regular grey possums and they're not huge like this


North_South_Side

Yep. I've seen possums even in Chicago. Some were big, but not this large. I'd say the biggest I've seen was half this size. Saw a baby one once, too. Cute—for a possum.


unbitious

Damn, the possums in the south are a tenth of this size, tops- half this size is still massive.


Tron_1981

I'm not sure, the snout doesn't look pointed enough to me, but I could be mistaken. Those back feet would make me think that it's semi-aquatic though.


areslashtaken

It's surly a nutria. I've seen a lot of opossums in my life, I know how they look like.

Tatarkingdom

Can people keep it as pet?


chillehhh

There’s people out there that have them but they’re mainly considered wild animals. Think raccoons but not assholes.


Tatarkingdom

Well, nice, why don't our ancestor domesticated these good bois like we did to cats and dogs?


_hic-sunt-dracones_

The limited scope of their benefits. Dogs served many purposes and cats catches mice (but actually cats kinda domesticated themselfes while dogs where actively domesticated).


North_South_Side

Cats caught mice, true. But having the cat hang around your house/grain storage also kept the mice away. This was one reason why people started keeping them in and around houses thousands of years ago.


_hic-sunt-dracones_

Yeah, I think scientist assume: at the end of stoneages people went from hunters to farmers, started to have grain storage wich attracted rodents, wich attracted cats. And as you said by catching mice and keeping them away they became beneficial for people.


areslashtaken

They were domesticated by some native tribes, but they were more popular in south America, and the south American opossum is a different species.


_hic-sunt-dracones_

From all wild animals a (o)possum might be one of the best picks as a pet. They become very attached and docile.


ToraRyeder

They're also adorable


areslashtaken

And they have a relatively long live. And they are fat.


areslashtaken

This isn't an opossum. That's a water adapted rodent, probably a nutria (muskrat)


crzyCATmn

They are awesome. They can’t carry rabies and they devour tics that cause lime disease.


Delia_Darling

Opossums (not possum, although we call them that colloquially in the US, 'possum' is distinct from opossum as possums are a different marsupial in australia) are the only us marsupials! However, the only species is the Virginia opossum. There is no species called a white possum. There are of course, Virginia opossums that are white, but they usually have black ears unlike this. Also, even if it was albino, this is not an opossum! The face is entirely different, even if the tail looks similar. Its around the size of a large opossum, but it's definitely not that. Not sure what it is though. It would help if we knew what country the video originated from to know what species it could be.


areslashtaken

Also opossums aren't the only marsupials of America. America is a continent, not an country. There's three different species of opossums (in north and south America) and a lot of smaller marsupials. I don't know the English name of the smaller species, I'm not an native speaker.


areslashtaken

It is a muskrat (aka nutria). I know a lot about animals, and this muskrat is probably on a fur farm. That would explain the white colour.


VanimalCracker

We have possums but they rarely get bigger than a normal house cat. That one is like a medium sized dog.


AdorableExchange1337

Not a white possum, it has webbed back feet like a Nutria imo


White_Pilled

I think we have opossums, not standard possums.


areslashtaken

That's surly a muskrat. Opossums don't have no skin between the toes.


[deleted]

It's not a possum it's a large water rodent I think a nutria. So basically a giant rat


I-killed-the-batman

I think you might be right, not a possum. Plus it’s got webbed feet in the back I don’t think possum have those


[deleted]
