Don't use wikipedia for anything other than a joke reference. People like me edit wikipedia.
>behavior difference between males and females? Yes, usually. Males tend to be cuddlier and lazier as they age, while females are generally active throughout their lives. There are exceptions of course.
>Are there a lot of different breeds of domestic rats? Yes and no. They're all basically the same. There are coat differences (teddy rex, hairless, rex, satin, etc) and there are patterns and colours, but they are all the same rat. Its not as drastic of a difference between a black dumbo berkshire and a lynx odd-eye as there is between a terrier and a greyhound.
>active at night. It depends. If you are active at night, your rats will be active at night. Some rats do have a preference, but in general, they will be active whenever you are in the room and probably sleep most of the time when you aren't.
