I have had rats as pets for many years and have asked the question to many vets and the answer was the same from them all, NO. The lice that pet rats can get are different from the ones that infest humans. The human lice are not interested in the rats and the lice the rats get are not interested in humans.

Do hamsters get lice from the pet store?
Hamsters do get fleas but it would be most likely for a hamster to not get lice when you buy it from the pet store. It could be possible but it mostly depends on the pet store. Does the pet store seem clean, is the cage seem clean? If not then a hamster might have lice/fleas.
What can you give your pet rat to snack on?
You can give it a piece of cheese to snack on. Honestly I don't think cheese is the best snack for a rat. I'd rather give it yogurt or sunflower seeds. That is what I always give my rat to snack on. So i guess you can try all three yogurt , cheese , and sunflower seeds and see what it likes.
