    Okay, what size was the rat? How long have you had her? How many meals has she had with you? What was she eating prior to your ownership?

    Keep it as a pet. Or find someone to sell it to or give it to.

    Yup, a pet rat. They are very social and intelligent creatures. Not at all like a hamster, gerbil or mouse. More like a dog or cat and after proper socialization they can be little box trained and allowed free roam of the house for a few hours each day.
