My best rats were the ones I chose from "feeder" tanks, rather than from Fancy Rat breeders, including the late, great Rattatouille who traveled from Florida to Newfoundland, back to Florida, then to Calif and up to Alaska where he's buried in a state park...
Interesting side note -- Reportedly, one can't keep snakes as pets in Australia, so all the rats there are sold as pets, not food. My local Petsmart carries frozen rats (not sure if they are supposed to be nuked in the microwave first, or not...).
