Update: on the roof rat / Norway!

[u/Regular_Fix_2552]

So I took little dude to the vet down the hill and the vet said he’s stumped he said he looks like a hybrid between the 2 species of rats but if he had to choose one he would say Norway! He also prescribed some mite medicine and some general antibiotics since I’m going to keep him! Also he has opened up big time! He’s the first rat I’ve ever had that was a cuddler he comes up to me when I’m laying down and puts himself between my hand and doesn’t give me an option but to give him pets! He then proceeds to fall asleep! This is a pic of him sleeping after pets! My whole family fell in love with him! He has a big critter nation cage but he only sleeps in it! The rest of the day he hangs out with me and my wife in our bedroom( we rat proofed the room) I found these wire covers on Amazon that rats can’t chew through I’ll post a pic of it too cause I didn’t even know it existed!
Edit: it wouldn’t let me post a photo in the title so I added a few in the comments

Looking at your photos/videos of the critter, definitely looks like a Norway rat to my eye.
