No. All pet rats are vaccinated.
Rats are great pets for older children like around 10 or older. But if you get a rat and you have a younger child in your home it might bite or scratch. But otherwise rats are fantastic pets to have!
All pet rats are the same. They are all called fancy rats except for the Albino which is slightly smaller than the regular fancy rat. If you go to the pet store and see tanks that say small, medium, and large rat you should know that the small rats are simply babies and the large rat are older.
You can find pet rats in a lot of pet stores, or animal rescues. You can find wild rats just about anywhere.

Yes
No, they can sometimes prevent them!
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.
for a pet, or for their predators
no
Pet rats don't have to be cleaned. They are fanatic groomers, and take care of it themselves. -Rat girl <3
