White Rats

Discover the charming and intelligent White Rat, scientifically known as Rattus norvegicus. These companion animals are known for their adaptability and thrive in a variety of environments. Originally native to the plains of Asia, they have since spread globally, making them a familiar and beloved pet in many households. White Rats are terrestrial creatures that enjoy exploring their surroundings and interacting with their human caretakers.

White Rats are known for their gentle and social temperament, making them excellent pets for families and individuals alike. They are highly intelligent and can be trained to perform simple tricks and tasks. In captivity, they require a spacious enclosure with plenty of enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. A comfortable temperature range of 65-75°F and moderate humidity levels are ideal for their well-being. While UVB lighting is not necessary, a well-ventilated cage with multiple levels and hiding spots will ensure they remain active and content.
