Q:
I’m really interested in getting a pet rat, but I’ve heard they get sick easily. What are two common health problems that pet rats are prone to, and – this is the part I’m really confused about – why are rats more likely to develop these problems compared to, say, a dog or cat? I’m trying to understand if it’s just bad luck, or if there’s a reason related to their biology or how they’re bred.

A:
Respiratory infections and mammary tumors are frequent in rats due to their relatively simple immune systems and the fact that selective breeding prioritizes coat color and pattern over robust genetic diversity, leading to increased susceptibility to pathogens and cancers—similar to the issues seen in purebred dogs, but manifesting differently due to the rat’s faster metabolism 🧬.
