Don't buy individual ones.

Get at least a pair from the same birth group.

Wash hands with unscented soap before handling.

They're smart buggers, expect them to escape lots so keep the food bowl topped up so they know where to go back to.

Big cage with lots to do, ropes to climb, things to chew, places to hide.

Used to have lots as pets when I was younger. Only stopped because landlords didn't allow pets where I moved to or I'd have got more

I'm thinking males, due to there relaxed nature but females are initially more friendly

She's 3 so lazy over inquisitive I think?

Keep the cage away from your cat

Females can get quite territorial and bitey (hormones... ) so definitely males.

i've always had females because they are naturally less 'smelly', rats are very clean creatures but with males (like most males of any species) their pee smells stronger.

def get more than one unless you are going to spend hours every day playing with it as they need company.

they're easy pets to look after and sociable so make lovely pets. i've had loads over the years and mice too, but they die in 3 yrs or less so it's quite upsetting to keep losing them. i haven't had any rats for a couple of years now.
