Wow, you must have taken really great care of him!! Mostly, rats only live 2 to three years!!

Rats can live anywhere from 2 to like 6 years old! Your rat is one of the luckier ones!

The oldest rat on record was a lab rat named Rodney who lived to 7 years and 4 months!
Most pet rats average between 2-3 years. In the wild, many don't reach 1 year.
