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.
These myths may come from the observation that rats can fit through some surprisingly small holes, and that a fleeing rat moves with an extraordinarily fast, fluid gait. A rat may appear to swarm along the bottom of a wall and wriggle like an eel through a small hole. quarter is just under an inch in diameter (0.96 inches). Not all rats can fit through a hole the size of a quarter. Large rats and overweight rats are too big. But some rats are small enough to fit through -- especially juvenile rats.
