Answer
Dear Cody,
thank you for your question.
Feeder rats are just normal rats, there's no difference. Here's a guide to sexing with photos or rats at various ages:

It's possible that the rat may have health problems due to being taken away from the mother too early and/or due to coming from a mass breeder who doesn't pay any attention to health problems, but that's true for many rats bought at pet shops, whether they are feeder rats or sold as pets.
I hope I was of some help to you
