A rat’s ribs are hinged at the spine, enabling it to easily squeeze through the tightest spaces—like the pipes draining your toilet. And rats are great swimmers too; they can hold their breath for up to three minutes. See how quickly a rat can go from the city streets to your bathroom.

They put a rat in a tank for three days to see how long it would last? That’s kinda sad. Imagine treading water for that long.
They just can get out the toilet though
Im getting a rat. Imma make sure i keep it in a non-wire cage ;-;
The whole thing about where it’s head can fit it”s body can isn’t always true. I had a pet rat that was too fat for his own good. I had to grease him up a few times to get him unstuck.
Cool
It’s so cute
Great, now I’m going to check the toliet everytime I go the the bathroom.
But you gonna see your poo
EDIT: if you buy this toilet your gonna see everything even you biggest poo in the world XD or gross
I want a pet rat now
I’m on the toilet right now
Disgusting
Eww
When thinking about it the people who do these torture the rat better hope you don’t become a rat next time you wake up
Why tf am I watching this in the bathroom
Oh god, I really don’t think they should put these rats in that situation, made me sad….. I have two rats and it makes me feel sick thinking about outing them in this kind of experiment

*sees rat*
“HZUUGH!!!”
I’m not sure that rat would wanna see what’s inside my toilet
*PUKE*
The rats is smart
It’s not surprising to hear rats breath in water for 3 minutes because a human can survive 3 minutes without oxygen.
