I got both of my dumbo rats at a pet shop and they don't bit. My daugther play with them like if they were toys. They love it. I just wish they wouldn't poop so much.
Shelby17, my suggestion for covering the wire floor and ramp is to use needlepoint plastic you can buy at a craft store. It's cheap and much more comfortable on your ratties feet, plus you reduce the risk of one of the rats getting a foot or limb caught in the slats. I use it all of the time and I cut the pieces to fit and attach with plastic zip ties (buy them at Home Depot--small size). Cute ratties!:)
It is best to get rats from a breeder rather than a pet shop chain, however,it's all in how well the rat is socialized as far as "biting" is concerned. All but a few of my 8 rats came from Pet Smart. It is rare that they bite and usually it is a trust issue or sometimes if you have food on your hands, they may mistaken you as food.
nice rats and verry cute, but as AutomaticShishkabob said: these cages aren't good for those little foods. maybe u can put in some wood plates ^^ my rats love them. ^^
So cute. I have a rat named Juliete also, thought she might be unique.

Cute rattie girls!
You can cover the wire bottoms with cut-to-fit pieces of fleece (great during the Fall / Winter), or embroidery backing.
As far as rats biting... that's rare, and it's typically if they have trust issues / feel threatened, and have been mistreated.
