Yes you can get rabies from a WILD rat.But PET rats do not carry rabies because at the pet store, they receive rabies shots before they are put on sale.This is why you should never touch a wild rat if you ever encounter one. If you somehow get bit by a wild rat seek immediate medical attention as in going to the hospital to get a rabies shot. If a PET rat bites you do not worry because they WILL NOT carry this disease.

Lets say that the allele for black fur B is dominant to the allele for white fur b in rats If you cross a black rat with a white rat and get offspring which are 6 black and 5 white what is the?
There are two base colors of rats, black and agouti. Agouti is the 'wild-type' rat, and it is designated with an A and is dominant. Black is the recessive form of agouti, and is designated with an a. So if you have a black rat, he is doubly recessive (aa). When you say 'white rat', I'm assuming you mean your rat is a pink-eyed-white or an albino. Rats can get this way in two different ways, either they are homozygous for albinism (cc) or they have so many other recessives that it washes out their color entirely. I am willing to bet it is an albino, as they are very common in pet stores. The problem with albinos is that when a rat is homozygous for albinism (cc), it makes them albino no matter what their other genes are. This rat could have all kinds of recessives hidden or it could have none. Since you bred your two rats and got both black and 'white' babies, I would say that your black rat carries the albino gene 'c' and your albino rat does not carry any recessives that your black rat has, except for black of course (a). So your albino rat is technically a black rat with two copies of the albino gene. I know it seems kind of confusing =) For more information about rat care including genetics please visit my website at http://careguide.evergreenrattery.com or feel free to email me at info@evergreenrattery.com .
