Should I get my new rat from a breeder or a pet store?

I got a single albino female rat a few moths ago and I’m about to get another one but I don’t want to get a rat that pregnant!

Have you looked into rat rescues? I think there's a few in New York.

I live in an area we’re I couldn’t find any close so and I can’t drive to certain places

you could try Petsmart as they usually only keep one sex at each store that way there are no mix ups and possible pregnancies. You would just need to find a store that has the sex you want.
