I went to the Pet Store to pic up two large females a little while back. It was the 3rd time I'd been there that month and the same girl gave me the rats each time. I think she knew they were for breeding/feeding. I got to the check out counter and a lady was behind me and asked what I had in the box as she started grabbing it and trying to look. In the past I had an experience at the pet store when my dad was buying rats for feeding and a store worker asked what they were for and he said, "To feed a snake." And they got all pissed. So I learned from that and when she asked I just said they were for my cousin. I don't have a cousin within 500 miles of me. Haha... Pet store Suckers.
