| Question about Pets:Woud a rat i found in my garage make a good pet? |
If the rat's fur is a brownish color all over, with perhaps a greyer tint on it's belly (be careful handling, use gloves if necessary) then it is most likely wild and you should call a local wildlife rescue.
These rescue operations can deal with wild rats with much more ease. If there is a significant amount of white color in the fur it could be an escapee. IF that is the case, take it to a vet for a full examination to make sure it is well, and without any other pets, such as fleas, mites, lice, etc.
... and tell your folks up front. It's usually not a good idea to ask for a pet that you have hidden from them.
