The official answer should be no, its not hygenic, but as an owner of three lovely rats, I let my rats run all over me, including my face and head. I don't think there is a problem with it.

Do rats carry babies under their belly?
no, rats do not have a pouch to carry their babies in. Mostly they leave the babies in the nest while they go out to feed and then return to them. Most pet rats only stay with their mothers for 4-5 weeks, and its best to separate males from females at this age because even though they are so young they are already capable of getting pregnant!
