Very bad idea to capture wild rats, particularly browns. :PFirst off, they're wild. Second, they carry diseases, including zoonotic ones such as Leptospirosis, which can affect dogs as well as humans.

Not surprised! Their urine alone can cause horrible coughing for people living in the same house. Their faeces and bits of old food they've taken back to the nest provide an excellent breeding ground for bacteria as well.
Not such a fan of brown rats, but the rats in the pics are gorgeous! I love hooded rats in particular!

Unfortunately I have to reduce the number of other pets first which is a shame.

Sadly I am allergic to rats and degus, I had a very bed reaction to one when house sitting for some friends once. They are very cute though although I can only view from a good distance away
