pet rats

[Lrptls]

i'm finally geting some mammal pets! i think i'v had scaley things so long i'm really wanting something small, furry and a bit more cuddly.

at my work, this lady brought in 2 male rats she couldn't care for any more and i couldn't help but hold and pet them. they are still at the pet store but i put a note on the cage for no one to sell them while i'm still thinking about geting them.

i dont know any thing about rat types but one is black and white and the other is brown with super soft fur, my friend at work called him a rex.? sad thing is, he's got some little scabs on his back and they said i may not be able to help that.

i can ask my friends at work about their basic care and needs because they have pet rats and raise feeder rats but are there some bad things i may run into with 2 males? or any other comments any one might have is great.
