RAT FACT OF THE WEEK
While rats are often very curious about their surroundings and love to explore, at the same time however, they are naturally neophobic. Neophobia is a behavioural reaction to new foods typically characterized by avoidance of new foods. This reaction is a natural instinct for wild rats to assess the potential value and toxicity of new foods. In contrast to their wild counterparts, pet rats who are accustomed to being provided with a variety of foods tend to have less of a neophobic reaction to new foods.

RAT FACT OF THE WEEK
Scientists on an expedition in 2015 to the island nation of East Timor discovered fossils representing 7 new species of giant rats, all larger than species previously found. The largest of them would have tipped the scales at 11 lbs (5 kg), about 10 times as much as a modern rat. Around 1,000 years ago, evidence of the sizable rodents vanished. Their decline coincided with the arrival of metal tools which decimated large swathes of dense canopy rainforest where the rats lived.

RAT FACT OF THE WEEK
According to the Guiness book of world records, a pet rat named Rodney who belonged to Rodney Mitchell of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA lived to a ripe old age of 7 years and 4 months old. The voracity of this claim has been questioned as domestic rats in general have a lifespan of 1.5 to 2 years with a small number living to 3-4 years max. Various theories include the classic bait and switch by Rodney's parents to save him from heartache or simply bad record keeping.
