Which are better fance rats or feeding rats as a pet?
By far fancy rats make better pets. While feeding rats are bred in mass quantity, fancy rats are bred for a good temperament and a good health. But beware because some pet store rats are from rodent mills so if you are looking for quality then buy from a responsible breeder. While buy buying from a pet store, you may be saving a rat from being snake food, you are also supporting rodent mills and helping them make more rats.
