Mice are not rats. Mice are very common in Calgary. I see them all the time at the Stampede LRT station. I've even seen them in the roof at Talisman.
Rat food is sold for people who keep
domesticated rats (yes, you can keep them as pets). You know, rats for snakes, giant millipedes, lab research, that sort of thing.
