My rat playing with a tarantula

Crunchie

Warren Veteran
I wondered if a tarantula would make a good play mate for a rat. I tried them together on neutral territory to see how they'd get on. Sadly my rat kept pestering the tarantula who got very annoyed and tried to run away. Here's the video and excuse my shouting at the end. Scrabble the rat had gotten bored with the tarantula and had helped herself to my juice which was on the floor.

The tarantula species is a mature female Brachypelma smithi, quite a big example of the species too. Looking back I think she might well have eaten Scrabble if she had wanted...

:lol: That video is so cute!!
I have 2 rats, and one is very similar to your Scrabble, but her name is Bella :D Not many of my friends and family like my rats, but they're so sociable and friendly!
