Pet rats are not domesticated wild rats, rather, they are brown rats domesticated more than 100 years ago to now be fancy rats.
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.
It depends on the pet store. They may if they sell both Dumbo, fancy and standard rats. They will likely put it in with the standard rats. This means it will likely be sold as a feeder.
Just keep trying to pet and hold them gently, until they get used to it. And maybe try feeding them while holding them. I have 3 fancy rats, and they love to be handled.
By far fancy rats make better pets. While feeding rats are bred in mass quantity, fancy rats are bred for a good temperament and a good health. But beware because some pet store rats are from rodent mills so if you are looking for quality then buy from a responsible breeder. While buy buying from a pet store, you may be saving a rat from being snake food, you are also supporting rodent mills and helping them make more rats.
rats can grow many different sizes depending on how much you feed them.how much exercise you give them and just what your rat is but rats can grow quite bis so you much consider that when purchasing one that you have enough space
Pet rabbits only grow according to their genetics.
No. All pet rats are vaccinated.
