Surfing Mice.

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets, Video Clips on Feb 5, 2007 at 7:53 pm



Hello we are the Radical Rodents, the coolest and hippest mice in the world. We are all mad keen surfers and as far as we know are the only rodents in the world that surf, which would make us the world’s smallest surfers. Our names are Chopsticks, Bunsen, Harry & Curly and we have been surfing for over 3 years. We love living here up in sunny Queensland because we get to surf most of the year as the water is warm and the weather is mild. Also there are lots of stinking rich folk with massive boats that deliver the waves which we long to ride.

    Those are rats, not mice. :P

    I wonder how much these mice/rats enjoy the water?

    This strikes me as cruelty to animals, pure and simple. How is this “neat” exactly?

    I don’t believe for one second that those rats actually wrote that.

    Just cruel and in my opinion has no place on a nice site like neatorama…

    That is ridiculously cute, and much cooler than dressing your rats up and making them sit around pretending to have a tea party.

    That’s cute! I wonder how the mice/rats were trained to sit on the boards… but hey, if a squirrel and a horse can waterski, why can’t a rat surf?

    I’m glad to see that other folks had the same reaction as me – namely, “oh no, how mean.” I had pet rats for years, so I know they can swim well and they’ll be fine, but still, the poor things must be terrified. :(

    Meh, I’m certain their ‘fears’ if you can call it that were long gone after the twentieth surfing run. Heck, if they’re being rewarded with treats for a good run I’m sure they enjoy the activity after enough practice.

    Nothing that new. I suppose Rob would think that feeding live rats to my pet boa is also animal cruelty? They weren’t that freaked out.
