I know I might be a little late on this but get the rat from a good breeder. do not get it from the pet store because they don't socialize them, or see if they are sick. Breeders do. First, give it a very big cage. My rats have a 4 story cage to keep them active . you might want to put some activities in the cage for it. my rats have a wheel, hammock, igloo, and a piece of wood for chewing. You have to give the rat 45min.-1hr. of play time in a rat-proofed room. Let them just run around and have fun! The food it might want would be rat block or rat and mouse pellet foods w\ seeds pellets and all sorts of stuff. Rats get sick extremely easily so if you are sick do not handle them because I read that if you do handle them there is a 85% chance the rat will get it sick also, ask some one else to to it for you.
