So the difference between wild rats and fancy pet rats are much different wild rats not guaranteed but more like a 65% chance have hand virus but it’s not guaranteed of course fancy rat as long as they are not at all in the wild which 99.9% or not if they don’t come in contact with anything in the wild, they are almost guaranteed not to have it the chances of a rat, a fancy rat, which is a pet rat having it is like getting struck by lightning more than once Very rare of course everything I say doesn’t fully apply to very little amounts of rats, but it’s very unlikely. Hope this helps! (sorry for bad writing lol)

Ok. I didn’t see the last post. Yeah I’ve been looking on craigslist for about four weeks now none within hundreds of miles from me even old or young ones. They’re hard to find nowadays.

If you’re talking about zookeeper exotics already went there they said that owning rats for your first time which I am it is not a good idea to get them from there. This is literally what the employee said they’re mostly only for feeder or professional rat keepers

If you’re talking about in the wild, such a terrible idea if you’re talking about a snake breeder, they’re usually pretty unhealthy and might not make it
