Rat help please

[Chilli]

Well... our petstore had their rats labeled the same way, but its for feeder purposes. The "small" rats are really just young rats that haven't gotten fully grown. How small are the small rats at your petstore? It doesn't sound right that they're small and full grown.

Well, I'll try to tell you the best I can what size the small ones are. They are a little bigger than a fully grown hamster. (not a dwarf hamster, but a regular hamster)

They have large rats there too, and it's the kind we're wanting, but we wanted to get it from a baby and raise it our selves, because a lot of the full grown ones are scared to let you hold them and they run from you when you reach inside to pet them.
