It's really up to what you want in a rat. Females are more active then males. But males are more cuddly then females. Females I've heard are better then males for first time rat owners ,but I got males and they are really awesome. I have never had females so I don't know but from what I've read. Males leave a little sent trail and little dots. Females go in heat. I would go with male rats but i would see a female rat owner too.

It depends what you want to do with it. Females tend to be more active and males tend to enjoy being cuddled...Females do not urine mark as much as males, but urine marking can be controlled by neutering the male.

That depends.. If you want two rats then get two males , female tend to fight. It doesn't really matter if you get a male or female they have both the same attitude.

How can you tell the difference between a neuterd rat and a female rat?

A male rat has testicles and a female does not! Take a peek under the tail! They are rather noticeable! If the male is neutered it may be more difficult. In that case compare the rat to another rat you are sure of the gender of. Male rats are a lot larger than females. Also you may be able to feel nipples on a female rat's stomach.


How will a female rat act to a new male rat?

The fmale rat will sniff the male rat, while he sniffs her at the same time. You will need to watch them for about an hour to make sure they don't fight. If you do not want babies, keep them separate. The male rat will try to mount the female rat, if he is not spayed. If you do want babies leave them together for 10 days (If they don't fight.), and you will surely have babies 21 days after she got prego.
