Theo Testing Food

There are many food review channels on Youtube. There's only one where the food is being reviewed by a rat named Theo.

He holds the foods in his little hands! Such impeccable manners, such a refined palate...

Two of mine (no, that's not one freakishly wide rat)

This is everything I had hoped for from the description.

Our rats are more into grabbing the food and running off to eat it in private, though in different ways. Given a small carrot stick, Pearl the rat grabs one, goes and eats it, and then returns to see if more are on offer. Alto grabs one, and then grabs as many more as she can stuff in her cheeks because why bother with extra trips?

Give him hard spaghetti!

100% of people adore rats after watching them eat hard spag.

The theme song is so catchy! And seconding the tiny hands holding the food is so cute. Great way to start a Monday morning; thank you for the post!

This has given me so much joy in recent days. (Ex- rat owner here, will always miss my little guys.)

10/10 again and again!

Also RIP poor Bjorn. <3

Ratties are among the best of pets. They really are.

This is fun. I do not understand why Theo gives up on opening packages so soon.

Does it have to be raw? Cooked is pretty cute too.
