Well, the ones that aren't scattered in pieces round the landscape probably do.

The only thing is that I do not have any land mines at home. Should I ask bratty? :lol:

When they're not dancing around landmines, rats typically live 3-5 years in my experience. As far as I'm aware, Giant or Jumbo rats don't live any longer.

But wouldn't domesticated rats live longer?

I was talking about domesticated rats. I think the average lifespan is less than 3 years for wild rats.

Then their four adolescent turtle disciples will dispose of the mines for them.
