Live Rats

Discover the fascinating world of live rats, scientifically known as Rattus norvegicus. These intelligent and social creatures are native to Asia but have since spread worldwide, thriving in a variety of environments. Typically found in terrestrial habitats, they are adaptable and can live in both urban and rural settings.

Rats are known for their curious and friendly temperament, making them excellent companion animals. They thrive in environments that provide mental stimulation and social interaction. Ideal care includes a spacious enclosure with plenty of toys and tunnels, a balanced diet, and a clean habitat. While they do not require specific temperature or humidity levels, maintaining a comfortable room temperature is essential for their well-being.

Rats grow at a moderate rate, reaching an adult size of about 9 to 11 inches in body length, with an additional 7 to 9 inches for the tail. They have a relatively short lifespan in captivity, typically living 2 to 3 years. Proper husbandry includes regular cleaning of their enclosure, providing fresh food and water, and ensuring they have opportunities for exercise and socialization.
