Rattus norvegicus
This is a "PInk Eyed White" or albino rat. He is a 26 month old (fancy rats usually live 2 to 3 years) unnutured male. He weighs approximately 1lb. The area around one of his eyes is red because of chronic irritation which he has seen the vet for - rats have red tears.
This rat lives in a cage because he is a pet. He lives in a Midwest Single Unit Critter Nation with Carefresh as bedding. He has cardboard boxes to chew and hide in as well as a hammock and other assorted things to play with.
The rat's name is Bug.
