The rat may have been injured from a fall or other rat. Or the rat may have an infection. It should be noted that rats saliva frequently appears red but it is not blood, it is a substance called 'porphyrin'. This substance can appear when the rat is stressed out or frightened.

Is it bad when your pet rat gets a bloody nose?
That isn't blood, the red discharge around your rats nose is called porpythrin.

Don't worry about it unless it appears that your rat's "crying blood" or sneezing red liquid or they have so much on their nose that it's drpping.

Pet rats are not vermin. Pet rats are raised in a pet store, laboratory, or adoption center and they are raised to be pets or in the case of labs, experiments. if you are thinking of buying a rat remember not to buy a rat raised as food for snakes. Rats bred to be pets are much gentler and sweeter than rats raised as food.
