Rat question
DO THEY HAVE DIFFERNT COLOR RATS AT PETCO OR PETSMART AND IF SO HOW MUCH AND DO RATS BITE ALOT BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME I AM GOING TO OWN RAT
Answers:We don't have a Petco where I live, and the Petsmart here doesn't have rats for sell, ever, :( Other Petsmarts do carry rats in a variety of colors.
Petland is the place where I have most often purchased my rats. They always have a wide variety of colors and types of rats that sell for $12.99 each. The high price assures that their rats are going as pets and not feeders. I even have to fill out adoption papers when I get my rats from Petland.
Rats rarely if ever bite. Just to give you an idea, I've had over 200 rats so far and only 2 have been real biters.
Good for you for choosing rats as pets. As a new owner to the world of pet rats I would like to invite you to my rat care group, Holistarat http://groups.yahoo.com/group/holistarat... where you will learn all you can about rats and their special needs.

"my life has gone to the rats"
Yes there are a couple different colors and no they don't bite alot
Be prepared for the stench they give off, they make the air get a little heavy
I think they have different colored rats in both places. try to get a rat that's young so it has a lot of time to adabt to you.
yes they have a lot of colors, well mine cost $ 15 and she does'nt bite she only give me kisses licking me.they are really smart she knows her name...like dogs do
they usually have different colors at those places but i wouldn't get them there because they are not handled enough so they bite alot. if you get them at a smaller store where they get more attention they don't bite thow.
They have basicaly white rats w/ tan heads or pure white and white body with brown heads. the white ones usually have red eyes. You can also buy hairless and blue rats there, but they cost a little more. the standard fancy rat goes depenng on size from 4-8 dollars. They dont require much and are inexspensive to keep, Ive heard never feed them meat as it might cause them to bite. Im not sure if that is true but none of mine ever have and i never feed them meat.
A rat??Do you mean a hamster or a mouse like these they use in labaratories?Because rats are dangerous big mice that bite!The colors usually are grey or white..and hamsters can be brown or somehow blond..and also black and white..I hope that you won't buy a rat and buy a regular and harmless little mouse or hamster...
I have owned rats for years. They make terrific pets. There are many breeds and colors for rats. Did you know, they even have pure breed rat shows? Never got in to that myself. Personally I always have had females. They are gentle, if handled often, they become very friendly. I had one who stayed on my shoulder no matter what I was doing. Although it did freak out a few people at the fast food drive thru. Anyway, I have never had an aggressive rat and none of mine all 15 of them, never bit anyone, even if they were handled by someone new. Oh, the reason I only had females was pure ascetics. The males have really BIG testicles and kind of hang out there, to me not a pretty sight. But to each it's own. Good luck, Oh, by the way, they love people food but be sure to keep them on a rat food diet. They can get really fat fast if they eat nothing but people food. It's all the fat and calories.
when i went to go get my rats they only Had the black&white rats. they do not bite. my rats never did.
