Rats like lots of space to climb and race about in; so get a big, tall cage to keep them happy. They need a solid floor as it will save them injuring their feet; but don’t give them a wooden cage or they’ll gnaw their way out of it! A converted aquarium (Vivarium) or aviary would make them a good home. Rats would much prefer to be indoors with you, but they’d be OK in a warm outhouse or shed if there’s really nowhere suitable in the house - but you must visit and play with them every day or they’ll fret.

[One] example of the teratogenic effects on developing neural fields induced by blocking 5-HT involves feeding pregnant mother rats ethanol, resulting in a significant decrease in 5-HT innervation of the cortex and brain stem of their pups. This effect can be prevented by pretreatment with buspirone.6
