The Rat Terrier is a small and sturdy dog and should be between 13 to 16 inches in height. The UKC doesn't have a specified weight for standard Rat Terriers as each individual dog has a different weight for their height. The Decker Rat Terrier is slightly larger than the Rat Terrier and should range between 22 to 40 pounds. A male should be 16 to 19 inches in height while a female should be 16 to 17 inches. The miniature Rat Terrier should weigh 10 to 18 pounds and should not be larger than 15 inches in height. The toy Rat Terrier is an even smaller version of the breed. His weight should range between 5 to 10 pounds and he should be no larger than 12 inches in height.
The best age to obtain your future pet is at the age of 5â8 weeks (mice), 6â9 weeks (rats) (females older then 6 weeks may be pregnant if housed in community cages) so they grow up with you. The average life span of rats is 2â3 years; mice 1â2 years. The average body length of adult rats is 9â11 inches; mice 3â4 inches; with an average tail length of 7â9 inches in rats and 3â4 inches in mice. The average body weight for rats is 350â450 grams for a female, 450â650 grams for a male; mice 30 grams each sex. There have been a few adult male rats that weighed 2 pounds! Meeting the basic needs of a pet rat or mouse is neither complicated, time consuming nor expensive.
