Where do rats live?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Rats can live pretty much anywhere they like damp dark places but if there isn't any around they are good diggers so will happily dig holes to live in.

Answer 3

Rats can be found in various habitats, including urban areas, fields, forests, and buildings. They are adaptable animals and are known to build nests in underground burrows, sewers, attics, and other hidden spaces where they can find food and shelter.
