fancy rats = ratas exóticas
Explanation:
Para los gustos se hicieron los colores.
Hay quienes son "criadores"(breeders) de caballos árabes...o perros o gatos; pues tendrá que haber quien se encante con la cría y exhibición de ratas de razas y apariencias especialmente "lindas". (Ocupan mucho menos espacio y me imagino que no requiere tanta inversión). Suerte

Explanation:
Ver sitio web:
http://www.afrma.org/ratvar.htm
donde ponen todas las variedades de ratas aceptables para los EE.UU.

Mirando las variedades creo que son las ratas domesticadas. ¡Son muy buenas mascotas porque son tan inteligentes!

¡Sí, yo he tenido una de la variedad Dumbo!
