An overview of the life of a rat.How long do rats live?
2-4 years. But there are supplements you can give them to help them live longer. The longest living rat was 7 1/2 years old. Mine died at 2 1/2 ;[.
In general 2-3 years, although they can live longer. It all depends on their genetics and health.
On the average of about two years.
Depends on where the rat came from. Your average pet shop rat will only live between 1.5 and 2.5 years, whereas a breeder's baby might live upwards of three years. But there is a flip side - a bad breeder's rats might only live 6 months or less, while a very lucky pet shop rat with a knowledgeable owner might make it to 4, perhaps 5. Average lifespan for pet rats in general is 2-3 years.
All depends on genetics, and health, and the care they received (diet, exercise, vet care) during their life.
