The Rat Review

The Rat Review is an American YouTube channel featuring the rats Theo, Bjorn, Olaf and Lenny taking on various challenges, with the most popular strand being Theo's weekly "reviews" of various food items, as well as the Rats & Chill livestreams which offer up to twelve hours of watching the channel's various rats go about their ratty business.
==Background==
The channel was created in order to give people a more positive view of keeping rats as pets, dispelling the typical views that people hold of them as well as tackling rat hate, which is an extension of the iGotRats website that the channel was spun off from.
The channel's four "hosts" Theo, Bjorn, Lenny and Olaf were all discovered in 2019 on Craigslist - not being sold as pets, but as snake food, which led to a swift call being made to adopt the four of them. When feeding them their owner noticed that Theo would always come trotting forward whenever treats were placed in the cage while the other three retreated to the back, which is where the idea of Theo's food "reviews" came from, with his brother Bjorn soon joining him.
==Channel Content==
To give a more positive view of rats, the channel shows them not only having the rats being rats during livestreams, but also hosts challenges where the channel's various rats compete to get through mazes and obstacle courses in the quickest time to show the animals' intelligence, while Theo's food "reviews" bely the idea some people have about rats by showing them acting like any other pet would.
