You feed them foods such as:
carrots (all vegetables, carrots are best though)
meats (once or twice a month only)
oats (rolled ones are best)
rice (puffed or not)
fruits (all kinds)
apple sauce
little strawberry treats (once in a while)
Hope my answer helped make your rat the plumpest rat ever! (don't make them TOO fat)

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.
No, dumbo rats are much bigger than fancy rats. They are both very nice creatures though.
the ones that i know about are the guinee rat(newly discovered species), musk rat, black rat, the brown rat, dwarf rat, and the fancy rat
Rats are rodents. Fancy rats are called rattus norvegicus, and wild rats are called rattus rattus.
I've Seen A Lot Of Pictures Of Carrots In Fancy Rat Cages.
Pet rats are not domesticated wild rats, rather, they are brown rats domesticated more than 100 years ago to now be fancy rats.
no they are fat rats
its not all pet rats its just the ones that are black and white because it looks somewhat like a tuxedo
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.
