A very clever one by the look of it. Pity it couldn't learn to flush too! LOL

Did anyone else notice it's tail? Is that a white tip or degloving?

 

[twitch]

that's a gambian and its a white tip on the tail.

Ha ha thats so awsome. I wish my dog could do that (no pciking up poo!)

At first i didnt know what kind of rat it was and i thought thats a huge rat! :lol:

It's a pouched rat. I saw this one already. Are Gambians and pouched the same species?

 

[twitch]

yep. the full title is a african gambian pouched rat. the name gets shortened a lot

 

[madeittothemoon]

Hahaha... that's so funny! And it makes me want a gambian even more.

 

[jellybeanqueen]

haha, that's awesome. xD
although the size kind of startled me at first!

 

[daisy184]

sooooooo kool. can you buy them in the uk.....
I guess you'd need a double floored rabbit hutch to house it, but most the time it'd be freerange...

Oh they are so adorable! I want one now. hehe.

It's Matisse! I've seen his videos before. He was a good rat.

Gambians are great but much different from our rats. They are illegal in the US to own. I'm not sure if they are illegal anywhere else. I would suggest anyone do very extensive research before owning a Gambian as they can be a challenge to someone who thinks they are some kind of animal they are not.

I don't know if Gambians and me would go together, but I do love seeing Matisse and his videos!

 

[Wench]

Holy crap I want three.

 

[magickat]

OMG! I should have read all the posts first. I was just telling my mom (who is visiting and afraid of rats) that my girls are not going to get as gigantic as she thinks. Then we watched that and she freaked! :lol: :lol:

 

[RatGirl4]

It'd be so awesome to have a rat that big!!!

 

[Kimmiekins]

Aw, I didn't see this topic until now. I'd recognize Matisse anywhere! He was actually a emin's, not a gambian. His owner is a frequent poster at Goosemoose. He ran off to the bridge at the end of July.

More videos of the Amazing Matisse:
