Rat Rodents for sale in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset

10 Rat Rodents for sale in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset

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.

FAQs

Is it better to get 1 or 2 rats?

It is generally recommended to get at least two rats rather than just one, as rats are highly social animals and thrive with companionship. A single rat can become lonely and depressed without a cage mate, so having two rats ensures they support each other's social needs.

Is 3 rats better than 2?

Three rats can be better than two because if one rat passes away, the remaining two will still have companionship and are less likely to suffer loneliness or depression. However, having three rats also means slightly more maintenance and cost compared to two, so it depends on your capacity to care for them.

Can I buy just one rat?

You can buy just one rat, but it is not advisable because rats do best with at least one companion for social interaction. A single rat may experience loneliness and reduced wellbeing without a fellow rat.

Are rats good pets in the UK?

Rats make good pets in the UK when kept in pairs or small groups. They are affectionate, social, and interactive animals that many UK owners enjoy. With proper care, rats are popular and suitable pets for many households.
