At least, pet rats do. They have a mild floral/perfume-y smell, which is extremely surprising to people who own them for the first time.

every pet rat i've ever held smelled like its bedding, normally ceder wood chips.

but from experience, non-pet mice and rats dont smell good at all. they smell like unwashed mammal, which is a combination of BO and urine and quite distinctive. worked in a reptile exhibit for a summer and they breed mice for food, and it smelled.

I'm not surprised that some guy on CE enjoys taking a deep whiff of a fucking rat.

My rats have always smelled amazing too!

Rats are my favorite animals. If anyone wants to see cute rats Google "rats with teddy bears." Adorable!

Stop using wood chips and anything with fragrance or dye. It's really bad for them long term.

Good question, I always appreciate people who want to learn!
Yeah cedar wood chips are poisonous to small animals like rats and hamsters, and little bits also get mixed into their food where they could accidentally eat it and choke to death.

This is my favorite bedding
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CPO7JW0

It's not dyed, absorbs liquid, and is very soft. There are a few other brands that make similar products. You'll often find this fluffy paper in multiple bright colors, but stick with the undyed for their health.
