While they are not poisonous (having no venom), wild rats (not pets) can carry a variety of diseases. Actually, those purchased in pet stores make very good pets. I had one for a few years and he was just great.

∙ 15y agonot really No. Their tails are virtually fur-free, though there may be a stray hair here or there. No, rats don't have hairy tails, but the Dormouse (the small fuzzy brown cute animals) do have fuzzy soft downy hair on their tails. Also, the small brown/gray fuzzy mice sometimes have a little tuft of hair on the end of their tail. I don't know if they are a different sub-species of the regular house/field mouse or not.
