Rats have a rather short life-span sadly. :-( I would say 2-3 years at the most. They are prone to getting tumours, sometimes the kind of tumours that can't be removed too.

Sorry to hear about your rat!! :-(

I'm so sorry about your loss. I love rats and have had three of them. They generally live from two-three years, though someone once told me they had a rat live six years. My rats went with my ex when we split but I still get to visit.

I hope your heart is okay!
