Is there much difference nutritionally? Not the big Syrians but the littler ones.

Im thinking of switching over.When my dh bought the last rat it pee'd on him and his hand itched and burned for an hour.My son gets welts from the scratches.Well they both are always hacking and sneezing and Im thinking they might be allergic to rats.My dh is highly allergic to mice but up till now rats havent seemed to be a problem but now Im wondering if the hacking and sneezing is rat related even though I keep them in the laundry room and only have a few right now.
I cant really afford the 80 plus dollars it would cost for frozen every three months(most of that is shipping fees).Not to mention my freezer is small.
