yes rats can see in the dark, they are nocturnal. :)

My rats are far from nocturnal. They are awake when I am awake. If I come down at 2 am they are awake, if I am around at 2p, they are awake. soooooo can rats see in the dark. Will tell you tomorrow cos now they are in the dark and I have left new toys around their cage to play with, and they haven't seen them in daylight. If they are moved tomorrow morning I guess they can see in the dark. They have an enormous cage so it can't all be by accident

Where do rats live?

Rats live anywhere. They prefer dark places, which may be either moist or dry, such as cellars and basements, under houses, and in thick vegetation. Rats are native to all continents except for Antarctica, and there are many species of rats. It is interesting to note that, before European settlement, there were no black or brown rats (the most common varieties) in either Australia or New Zealand, but only native rats which are quite different to the general public's perception of rats.

Can fancy rats see?

Yes, but it's better if they are in a dark room for living spaces. They have much more rods then cones in their eyes. We are the opposite, we have more cones then rods. In other words, rats can see better in night, like bats and cats, and we see better in afternoon when the sun is out.
