Is there a differents in home rats and wild rats?

Answer 1

Yes. Wild Rats know how to get their food, and house rats get it because we put it in their cage. Also Wild rats bite more because they don't get held, but house rats only bite if they are either looking after their baby rats or males are with males from another family.

A:Most pet rats are bred for temperament and genetic quality. Also, any rat which comes from a good quality breeder will be socialized from the time they are born (handled daily so they are used to humans). Wild rats won't have the temperament though in theory, if you got them when they were first born and socialized them, they could be pets...but they are more likely to be skittish and unpredictable where bred rats are typically friendly and very social with humans.

Another difference, wild rats are MUCH MUCH MUCH more likely to be carrying maleria and other bad diseases. That's why, if you know its a wild rat never touch it! or if it is any mouse or rat! Pet rats and mice have been kept more clean and healthy, and although they MAY catch it, it is a lot more rare then a wild one getting it, and spredding it onto you.
