Fancy Rat Care Made Easy: Essential Training, Grooming, Dietary, and Physical Maintenance Strategies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798398217797)

Because of their sociability, intelligence, and adaptability, fancy rats (also known as domestic rats or pet rats) are a frequently maintained small mammal as pets.
They are the domesticated offspring of the wild brown rat, Rattus norvegicus, and have been bred for many generations in order to achieve particular coat colors, patterns, and personalities.
The typical lifespan of a fancy rat is between two and three years, while some rats, especially those kept in ideal conditions, might live for even more than five years.
They can be found in a rainbow of coat colors and patterns, from the more common black, white, agouti, and blue to more unusual hues and designs.
Different forms of fur can be found on different sorts of fancy rats, including hairless, nearly hairless, and double rex varieties.
Because of their intense social needs, fancy rats are typically housed with other companions of the same sex.
They have a reputation for being active and inquisitive, and they take great pleasure in discovering new things and connecting with the people who care for them.
Because of their intelligence and trainability, fancy rats are frequently used in rat agility competitions, where they must successfully complete a series of obstacles.
