Yes. They eat a lot of things like nuts and fruits. You shouldn't give them citrus fruits, though. It will make them sick. You also shouldn't feed them assorted nuts, either. they will pick out what they like and get too fat.

Yes they are just like us they eat a little bit of everything, though i suggest cooking any meat you give them you dont want it raw.

I use to toss them table scraps. My rats were all very much.. plump.

Yes.

Rats have a few features that define them as omnivores. First, they have sharp incisors to rip through hard materials (a characteristic of carnivores). Furthermore, they also have molars with broad ridged surfaces to grind food (a characteristic of herbivores).

Internally, rats have both gallbladders (aid in the digestion of fats which aids in meat digestion) and a fairly large cecum (which ferments ingested material and aids in gaining nutrients from plants).

A rat is an omnivore. Humans are also omnivores. An omnivore eats both animals and plants. A carnivore eats meat, and an herbivore eats plants.
