Description
Continuing "Chun-the swimmer rat" theme (because I found out that there is too little of rats that like water... no one mentioned yet to be honestSo yes, Chun likes water and enjoys swimming, so I take him to the sea with me.
I took this photo right before he dived
And we can see that his fur is partly curly, he isn't actual rex, one of his granpas was satin, the other was sphynx. I like his eyebrows the most. Yes! this one long curly hair.

Aww. Most of my ratties weren't too fond of water except one girl. She loved to run through the little 'bath' I'd make for them.

Besides Chun, I had only couple rats that could tolerate water, most just hate it

I hope I will find a rat that enjoys swimming too...
I have a summer house by the lake and it would be soo much fun to swim with a pet there

You might find! I had Chun first to like swim, but now one of his sons does it too) It is really fun to swim around with rats, as long as you don't have to swim chasing the little beast But make sure there are no children around -_-

Ohh sounds like you've had a situation with some children...
And I might actually enjoy chasing a rat in the water, sounds like fun
I hope I will find one

LOLLL. xD I love it when people say things like that.
And awww, swimming together, thats awesome!
If i had a rat i would train it at a young age to be comfortable outdoors.
I have a trail with a river less than .25 of a mile from me house!
I would take me rat walking...
and there are still spots and little pools on rocks around the river, but i would
keep a close eye and not let anything hurt my rat!

I don't train them, I just make sure they will be comfortable with ME, then outside isn't this scary at all

im trying! o.o'
i would give it so much love and attention!
i would train it and everything (i trained my cat. xD )
if only there was a way. as soon as i say the word "pet" or "rat"
my dad gets really angry! >.<
i dont ask for lots of pets, only rats! (excepting my cat... but that was after my other cat passed the
golden bridge. he was my best bud.)

Everyone I know who got a rat for the first time in their life start to love them even if before they didn't. So does their families.
If only they make a first step!

Thank you for this wonderful image, I feel that there is a shortage of good rat photos, especially in a natural environment.

Heh, I usually don't give my rats bats, so I noticed that chun likes water when he was adult already.

Not really, he swims around and then comes to me or my husband. I could post that part too.
