Basil (watch Faulty Towers episode 12) You might find it at a video rental store.
#12: Basil the Rat
Manuel insists that his pet rodent is a Siberian hamster. Basil is convinced that the pet shop has conned the gullible Spaniard and sold him a rat — a fine thing to have running round the hotel when the public health inspector is also on the loose.
Series Two, Episode Six — First shown 25 October 1979*
Manuel serenades his new pet hamster on his guitar but things are not quite as they seem. The Siberian hamster Manuel has been sold looks suspiciously like a rat to everyone (except Manuel). As if Basil didn’t have enough on his plate, he just happens to discover a Public Health Inspector nosing around the hotel kitchen.
Sybil and Basil enter Fawlty Towers to a situation far more serious than the trivial argument they are having about whether Basil is free to go to some social occasion that Sybil is nagging him to take her to. Basil would rather do the hotel accounts than attend, which sums up Basil’s opinion about most of Sybil friends — the Sherrins aren’t even part of the human race he retorts.
In the Fawlty’s absence, Mr Carnegie from the public health department is literally nosing around the kitchens, as Basil enters, Mr Carnegie has his nose in a tray of meat. Mr Carnegie is, to Basil, a complete stranger.
Classic Scene…
Basil (sarcastically): Shall I get you the wine list?
Mr Carnegie: Mr Fawlty?
Basil: Mister? Oh Please, call me waiter. Look, I’ll go and get a chair and then you can really tuck in — there’s some stuff in the bin you might like, potato peelings, cold rice pudding, that sort of thing — not exactly haute cuisine but it’ll certainly fill you up. Ah Sybil, may I introduce you to the gentleman who’s just opened the self-service department here… Mr …?
Mr Carnegie: Carnegie.
Basil: Mr Carnegie the scavenger gourmet from…?
Mr Carnegie: The Public Health Department.

I usually wait until I have the rat and then observe him or her to "discover" the perfect name. Or, in the case of a litter of black and white rats we had awhile back, I name them by physical features, i.e., I named the rat with the biggest head Bighead and another with a double "hook" pattern on her back Fishhook, and so forth. I also have two hairless rat brothers named Ratster and Bollocks, a wordplay on Castor and Pollux, the Twins. (Also a play on an obvious anatomical feature of male rats...). I'd say wait til you have the rat, and then decide. He or she will let you know somehow!

Please get your rat a friend. Rats are very social and don't do well on their own. They will still love and play with you even though they have a friend of their own. But they CRAVE having rat buddies around. It's easier to buy him a buddy when you first get him. Get him a brother from the same cage.
My black and white is named Lewey. But I also like Oreo,Xerox (hee hee).
My rats names are Dewey and Lewey. I have also had a Winky, Charlie, Rizzo, Ben and Lucky.

I luv rats... Black and white, eh?
Well is it a girl or boy? Or are you not sure? Smudge would be a cute name for a guy. Maybe Rain, or Blackrain for a girl. <3
