Medium-sized rats are the sweet spot for pet owners, blending curiosity with cuddliness. These clever rodents learn tricks, recognize their names, and love to explore, forming strong bonds with attentive owners who enjoy hands-on interaction. **Care Facts**: Keep in a spacious, multi-level cage (2 cubic feet per rat) with paper bedding. Maintain 65-75°F, avoiding drafts. Feed lab blocks, supplemented with veggies like peas and grains. Provide hammocks, ropes, and chew toys for enrichment. Handle daily for bonding and clean weekly to maintain hygiene.
