Luna was a rat that I bought from the pet store because she kept getting loose and they didn't know what to do with her. I had never owned rats and was not looking for another pet. I then found out they had to have a companion thats when I had talked to Keelzdragonz Rattery and reserved a girl while we fell in love with 2 boys. We all were happy 2 handsome Siamese Rex boys, 1 Siamese smooth girl and 1 Blue Rex. Well 2 weeks later Luna had 10 babies! She bred with a Hairless Topear from the pet store. All 10 of these little babies grew and were quite cute! Some found homes and others are here to stay!
This is what they looked like a week old

Try a mixture of some of these. You be able to tell which they prefer Strawberries
We have found rats make great pets.
Some like to be held more than others.
They are friendly, cuddly, and are really inexpensive to own.
They love attention and can be taught tricks.
You have to have two of them (same sex of course).
They need a companion without they become unhealthy
and may destroy things.
Ours have been in plastic tubs with wire mesh tops
and wire cages with plastic large bottons when babies.
Then I have them when larger, in small
animal and even rabbit cagees.
Make sure they are big enough that
they can't squeeze throught the bars
I've used my birdswings I made for them which they love.
I use pine shavings from Tractor Supply (not cedar).
My sample diet is:
Mazuri or LabDiet 5001 Rodent blocks.
Sheps dog food biscuits (from Aldi's)They seem to like these
and do well on them
In the evening we feed a mixture of:
Cheerios
Puffed Rice
Vegetable Rotini or any vegtable pasta
Original Quaker Oats (not instant)
Wheat flakes
Green split peas.
Millet seed
Striped Sunflower seeds, peanuts (use sparingly
Fruits you may have on hand that mine prefer
seedless grapes
dried banana
pear
apple
