How can I tell if a rat is wild or a pet, and what type is it?

Question

Is this a wild rat or a rat bought from the store? And what type of rat is this

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

This is not a rat bought from the store. This is a wild rat. It is not possible to determine what type of rat it is from this picture, as the head and back is not visible and the size is not determinable.
