Yes a rat is an endotherm, most homeothermic animals are endothermic which means they maintain a warm body temperature by means of internal (metabolic) heat production.

Yes, rats are endotherms. Endotherms are animals that can regulate their body temperature internally, usually maintaining a relatively constant temperature higher than the surrounding environment. Rats are able to generate their own body heat through metabolism to regulate their temperature.
