I'm not sure if you are asking if you should let your pet rat go free as in releasing it or if you are asking if it should be allowed to roam free in the room or something else?

I'll answer the questions I listed above since I'm not sure I completely understand the question.

Should you let your pet rat go free as in releasing it? No. Pet rats have usually been handled a good bit by humans. They've learned to count on humans for food. They may have even been around other pets, such as a cat, that tolerates them in your home environment but another cat in the wild would kill the rat.

Should you let your pet free in the room? Not unless you've completely rat-proofed the room. The rat could get away from you where you couldn't catch it and it could do a lot of damage to your home. It can chew through the wall and go into the attic and chew wires. There are countless dangers of having a rat running free in your home.

Please feel free to request additional information if I haven't answered your question.
