Choosing Rats
Bringing rats into your life starts with choosing where they will come from. The source you pick has a big impact on their health, temperament, and how much support you will have as an owner. In this section you can learn about the differences between adopting from breeders, rescues, and pet stores, and why some options are better for the rats in the long run.

A responsible breeder focuses on health, temperament, and proper care. They should welcome your questions, let you meet the parents, and never sell babies too young. Learning how to spot a good breeder helps you avoid heartbreak later.
2
Many amazing rats are waiting in rescues or shelters. Adopting gives them a second chance at a happy life, and you may even find bonded pairs or groups. It can take patience, but rescue rats can be just as sweet and loving as any other.

It can feel like you are “rescuing” a rat when you buy from a pet store, but the truth is more complicated. Learn why pet store sales don’t actually save rats in the long run and how supporting them can do more harm than good.
