No, you can not catch an illness from any rat at the pet store. If the rat is sick it will not spread the disease to humans. But it is possible to get salmonella from a rat if you touch it and then touch your mouth. So always wash your hands after handling an animal.
You can get a pet rat from most pet stores.
I don't have a pet rat!
Emily Carr had one pet rat.
It all depends on if you get the rat from a breeder or not. Pet stores often sell sick rats and they can become very expensive to take care of when they need medicine like mine did. When you get them from a good breeder, they will be healthy, and have better personalities too.
You can help a rat have a longer life if you keep it healthy (water food exercise) and keep the rat in a clean cage (claening at least once a week)
Pet mice and rats do not carry any diseases. Wild rats caused the black plague in the middle ages.
If your pet rat is sick: take it to the vet or your local animal clinic. If you need to find another home for it: advertise it in the newspapers, and on bulletin boards around your town/city, and ask around your school or work (OR ask your mum/dad to ask around their work).
