QUESTION: How long can a rat swim? Survey saysâ¦ 15 minutes. For 15 minutes, a rat tossed into a bucket of water will kick its little rat legs, paddle like a dog, and fight to keep its head above water. So what happens after 15 minutes? The rat sinks like a little rat rock. So you might conclude from this data that a ratâs physiology can only withstand 15 minutes of swimming before it ultimately succumbs to a watery grave. But where this little tale gets interesting has nothing to do with rat physiology, but rather rat psychology.
The average life span of rats is 2â3 years; mice 1â2 years. The average body length of adult rats is 9â11 inches; mice 3â4 inches; with an average tail length of 7â9 inches in rats and 3â4 inches in mice.The average body weight for rats is 350â450 grams for a female, 450â650 grams for a male; mice 30 grams each sex.There have been a few adult male rats that weighed 2 pounds!or two small rats, use a 15â20-long gallon tank or 14x24x18 (approximate) wire cage (minimum sizes; preferably larger) for their housing. Two female mice may be housed in a 10 gallon tank, one male mouse in a 5â10 gallon tankâthis will provide adequate room for a house, wheel, feed dish, and water bottle.
