Best Answer

There are 3 main types of domestic rat.

~ Brown rat/Lab rat: Rattus Norvegicus

~ Black Rat: Rattus Rattus

~ Gambian Pouched Rat: Cricetomys gambianus

Depends if you want a big rat, medium rat, or small rat. The Gambian isn't available everywhere. The Brown rat is a very common one, & there's a few variations.

Do some research on each, & see which is of interest.
