Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

You can raise a baby rat (although it doesn't need to be a baby, too) found in the wild, because they are virtually the same as domesticated ones. At least here in Europe, where I live.
The type of a rat you're looking for is a "Norwegian Rat" or "Brown Rat", which is the most common type in the wild.
Generally speaking, there's a saying that animal you rescued will try to pay that back in love.
Rescued or kidnapped?
A rat in the wild isn't in an ideal situation for said rat.
