So just the other day I was playing around online and started looking into some rat forums. I found it kind of funny when I seen one that asked what is your rats life expectancy. Then many people listed various numbers of months along with a cause of death.

For example:
31m (ruptured tumour, hemorrhage)
4m (died under anesthesia while undergoing removal of 3"x3" mass from neck/jaw - composition of tumour unknown, suspected lymphatic cancer.)
37 months, suspected liver failure, internal bleeding, tumor. Cause of death was euthanasia.
aprox. 60 months, cause of death unknown.
And so on and so forth.

I wanted to make a post but I knew it would not be considerate to all those rat loving people.

I would have to say: 2-3 months cause of death: HUNGRY SNAKE. LOL!!!

I knew I shouldn't post that there but I figured it would be alright here!!!

Have a good night guys/ gals,

matt
