Meet Marty Mouse, which isn’t truly a mouse, just like Virginia Wolf isn’t truly a wolf. He is actually an adorable little dumbo pet rat. Marty Mouse was rescued from a pet shop in 2013 where he lived alone in a plastic box. Now he has a loving home where his owners stay with him all day, letting Marty take his little rat adventures around the house anytime he wants.
As any other rat, Marty loves to snack, but don’t be fooled by the photos, he doesn’t eat unhealthy stuff all the time. As the owners state on Marty’s website, sugary snacks are only for the photos, though Marty occasionally sneaks a bite. If you adored Marty as much as I have, be sure to check out his Facebook and Instagram for more of his adventures.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, recently Marty passed away due to his enlarged heart. His owners are planning on continuing his Facebook account, since they have so many unused pictures and a loving fanbase. R.I.P. Marty, the most adventurous dumbo rat I’ve ever seen.

I miss Marty Mouse :'( I've never cried over a pet I never met, but I felt like I really knew and loved Marty.
Love Marty we all were so heartbroken to hear of his passing it was a total shock . Miss you Marty w all my ♡
I love seeing pictures of Marty. I cried when I read of his passing. I cried off and on for days. Love you Marty!
Miss that damn rat!!! RIP Marty, have lots of "adbenturrs in Heaben" (as he would say it)
What an adorable animal. Many people have no idea what affectionate pets rats make. How sad that so many of them suffer for "research".
Oh, it reminds me times when I have had a rat. :< He was with me over 2 years! So cute guy. :3
Oh how I miss my ratty rat, Pocket...his colour was pretty close to this little dumbo rat. He's cute and the pictures are wonderful !
what a darling! And I am sorry that he passed away. I have been keeping pet rats for 12 years now, always boys. They make adorable pets!
Adorable. My pet rat was one of the best pets I ever had. They really are stunningly intelligent. More so than my current cat!
That's so cute :) Reminds me of a children's book I had when little with a tiny mouse who got into some cakes and stuff. Loved that!
Rats are wonderful pets and don't deserve the bum wrap they get. They die so soon though and it's heart breaking. :(
I love this little guy! So sad he passed away....what a cutie....and smart too!
I think he was adorable. Rest in peace, sweet rodent. It looks like you had a full and wonderful life.
oh, i'm sorry about he passing away...he was a beautiful rat! love!
SO CUTE!!!!! Animals are the best... I wish our society would respect environment more :(
Oh what a little cutie (this coming from someone who doesn't like rodents)
I think Marty was a pretty photogenic little guy. Cute, and talented too! We have a pet mouse named Pipin who my husband rescued.
They should've had a disclaimer or something at the bottom bc he's been gone for almost a month :(
We have a disclaimer in the text, we're very sad that Marty passed away..
