Preguntas Frecuentes

Are pet rats the same as wild rats?▼

Pet rats (Rattus norvegicus domestica) have been selectively bred for over 100 years. They are docile, clean, affectionate, and do not carry the diseases associated with wild rats. They are a completely different experience.

Do pet rats bite?▼

Well-socialized pet rats almost never bite. They are naturally gentle and curious. Occasional nips usually mean they mistook your finger for food. Rats that bite from fear just need patient socialization.

Why do pet rats only live 2-3 years?▼

Sadly, domestication and breeding for docility has resulted in a short lifespan. Rats are prone to mammary tumors (especially females) and respiratory disease (mycoplasmosis). A good diet, clean cage, and regular vet care maximize their time.
