I have a female rat called Maritius and shes 4 years old and still going strong. Over that time shes had 3 litters of babies. Pay them lots of attention, give them little treats and make sure they can roam around for an hour or two each day to keep their muscles working. They like chasing things too, like the toys you get for kittens. I think also having them in quite a large cage makes them happier n healthier.
Hairless rats live as long as normal rats do; 2-3 years with proper care.
Yes, some rats can live together. There are certain types of rats that dont like to live with each other. If you want 2 rats in the same cage, i would recommend getting 2 rats from the same species. Liek if your going to get a dumbo dwarf rat. You should get another dumbo dwarf so they live good with each other.

Males. Female rats tend to be more active. Male rats tend to get lazy as they mature.
Female rats don't just turn into male rats. Sometimes a male rat's testes will be withheld in his body as a result of stress and he will appear to be female. Of course in such a situation, he is still male.
