German term or phrase: Ratten vs Rennmäuse
Sto traducendo un opuscolo sui roditori.

Non so come differenziare le due specie in oggetto.
Per Ratten pensavo di utilizzare topi (ratti non mi sembra molto carino per definere animali da tenere in casa).
L'unico traducente che ho trovato per Rennmäuse è però topi.

Grazie per ogni suggerimento
