{"id":38,"count":1,"description":"Although there are many different looking pet rats with various coat types and colors, they all belong to the same species \u2014 <em>Rattus norvegicus<\/em>. This species still exists in the wild, but they are quite different from the pet rats that have been bred selectively by people for more than a century. The different types of pet rats are called varieties instead of breeds. Smooth coats, curly coats, and hairless are just a few coat types. The number of colors is more numerous. Mix them all together, and you get quite a lot of beautiful and handsome pet rats to choose from!","link":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/category\/rat\/rat-breeds\/","name":"Rat Types","slug":"rat-breeds","taxonomy":"category","parent":36,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/36"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/mammals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
