What is long hair rat?

Long hair rats, also known as fancy long-haired rats, are a domesticated variety of the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). They have longer hair than standard rats, which makes them look fluffy and soft. Long hair rats come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, and white, and can have a range of coat patterns.

Long hair rats are often kept as pets because of their docile and friendly nature. They are social animals and enjoy the company of humans and other rats. They are intelligent animals and can be trained to perform tricks and respond to commands.

Like all rats, long hair rats require proper care and attention to stay healthy. They need a healthy diet, clean living environment, and regular veterinary checkups. Long hair rats should be handled with care as their long fur can be fragile and prone to tangles and matting.

Overall, long hair rats make great pets for those who are willing to invest time and effort in their care. They are smart, friendly, and affectionate companions.
