Just been curious as to rat life expectancy etc. I understand they usually only make 2 years but just curious as to how long everyones oldest rats have been.

My Blanche is now 20 months old, and is one of my first pair of rats, so the oldest of any rat I've kept.

Monty was a week shy of 27 months. He was the oldest rat I've had.

I've only lost one so far, she was 32 months old (but only lived with me the last 5 months of her life).
My older boys must be 33 months give or take. They were "around one" when I rescued them and we've had them 21 months now.

At the minute my oldest rats are 23 months. That's the oldest I know for definite, there have been a couple of others that might have been older, perhaps closer to 3, but I never knew their birth dates for sure, it was just guesswork and going by what others thought.

The oldest I know for *sure* was just shy of 32 months - the lovely Hobo <3 I think I had a few rescues who may have been older, but I never really *knew* their dates of birth. I think Hillary may have been about 2 an a half.

ETA - Hillary would have been 32 months 2 days after he passed away.
