Question
hi can a fancy rat give u any dangerous deseases or r the harmless because i just bought one and i don't want any thing to happen to me

Answer
The odds of a well-cared for domestic fancy rat giving you any sort of dangerous disease are fairly rare. There have been extremely rare cases of Rat Bite Fever, but that's about it. If you'd like information on RBF, google it, you'll find a plethora of information relating to it. I must reiterate though, it is EXTREMELY rare.
