Norway Rat :

Habits. The Norway, or brown, rat lives both as a commensal in close association with man and in the feral state, chiefly where vegetation is tall and rank and affords adequate protection. As a commensal this rat lives principally in basements, on the ground floor, or in burrows under pathways or outbuildings. They appear to be most common about feed stores, chicken houses, and garbage tips. Although more at home on the ground, these rats are adept at climbing and have been observed traveling along telephone wires from one building to another. In places they become exceedingly numerous and destructive.

They feed on a variety of items including both plant and animal materials. All sorts of garbage appear to be welcome, but their main stay is plant material. Grains of various sorts are highly prized. When established around poultry houses, they feed extensively on eggs and young chickens.

Roof Rat ;

Description. A blackish (or brownish), medium-sized, slender rat with long, naked, scaly tail; tail usually longer than head and body but not always so. External measurements average: total length, 370 mm; tail, 190 mm; hind foot, 36 mm. Weight, up to 200 g.

Habits. Roof rats are largely commensals and live in close association with man. They seldom become established as feral animals as do the Norway rats. They inhabited supermarkets and convenience stores, warehouses, feed stores, and poultry houses and were very common in grain warehouses. They may live near the ground, but usually they frequent the attics, rafters, and crossbeams of the buildings. They make typical runways along pipes, beams or wires, up and down the studding, or along the horizontal ceiling joists, often leaving a dark-colored layer of grease and dirt to mark their travelways. Like the Norway rat the roof rat is largely nocturnal and only where populations are relatively high does one see them frequently in the daytime.

They accept a wide variety of food items, including grains, meats, and almost any item that has nutritive value.
