The Rat, commonly known as the pet rat or fancy rat, originates from the domesticated form of the brown rat (*Rattus norvegicus*). In the UK, they are popular companions valued for their intelligence and sociable nature. Physically, rats come in various varieties including distinct coat colors such as black, beige, and chocolate, as well as patterns like hooded, Berkshire, and blazed. Notably, the dumbo rat variety is distinguished by its large, low-set ears, giving it a unique appearance. Temperament-wise, rats are friendly, curious, and highly social animals that thrive best when kept in pairs or groups. They exhibit no temperament difference tied to their variety; rather, personality is shaped by upbringing and environment. These pets are suitable for owners seeking engaging, interactive companions but require regular handling and stimulation. Care involves maintaining a clean cage, balanced diet, and ensuring social interaction. When looking for pet rats for sale in the UK, opting for reputable breeders or rescues is crucial to avoid less suitable feeder rats. Overall, the fancy rat is an affectionate and intelligent pet choice for those ready to provide proper care and companionship.

Very sadly rehoming this beautiful pair of boys due to my son's allergic reaction. They are both approx 1 year old. One grey and one white with red eyes. Grey is more cuddly of the pair and happier to be fussed over. They are both friendly and laid back. Although given plenty of time to free roam each day, they are a pretty lazy pair and don't seem to need a lot of time

Meet Remmi, heartbreaking to sell her but her cage mates have suddenly passed and I can’t see myself getting any more rats in the future. She doesn’t bite but we are working on this.
