Yes rats are very intelligent and are great pets. I have one.
Almost but the differences are that: Rats are bigger than mice as most people know. Rats are more intelligent Rats are less smelly Rats are much better pets than mice Related things: They have almost the same lifespan. Note : These are only what I know. There might be more answers to this.
They are great! I have two rats right now and they are wonderful pets. But wild rats can get a little bit nasty.

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.
The main effect is the death of the rats. However, be careful if you have pets. Put the poison in protected places, so that your pets remain safe.
Quite a few Urban communities have rats for pets, including the USA.
