Well that depends on how good they are eating, drinking, and what they are living in. If they are eating crumbs or scraps on the floor or in corners and drinking from a dripping faucet or a leak in a fish tank and you have a large or medium sized house and/or yard then there could be hundreds and even thousands. My suggestion on catching them is to be to use mouse traps or if you want them to live, then you can order a humane no kill mouse and rat trap from Amazon. They are 13-14 dollars if you get the small ones for mice and rats. The others are expensive.
Hope I Helped! :)

There are two basic types of rats. Black/roof rats and Norway/brown rats. The brown rat, is also known as the Norway rat, house rat, gray rat, barn rat, and wharf rat, is one of the best-known and is the larger of the two. Roof rats are also called black rats and ship rats.
If an alarm went off in the rat colony in Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, it would likely signal danger or an important event requiring the attention of all the rats. Rats would quickly gather to assess the situation and determine the appropriate response to ensure the safety and well-being of the colony.

Wild rats live around houses and buildings, in towns and cities. They originally came from Europe in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. They got to other places by sneaking on ships. There are 80 species of rats. There are 2 common rats which are called Norway rats: black rats and brown rats. Some other kinds of rats are: rice rats, water rats, Rio rice rats, Yucatan vesper rat, American cane rat, Peruvian rat, South American water rat, Chilean rat, Andean swamp rat, wood rat, cotton rat, Allen's wood rat, fish eating rat, white tailed rat, and a whole lot more. Both brown and black rats live in sewers, rubbish dumps, farms, and river banks. You can find them almost everywhere. Brown and black rats are very good swimmers.

Rat food is for rats
Evolution, but by artificial selection, so to speak. Imagine a colony of rats. They all have very tiny differences in their genes, and as these differences neither help nor harm the rat, they are passed along to their offspring as normal. If someone tries to poison the colony with warfarin, many will die. If any rat's genetics give it a resistance to the poison, then these rats will survive, and pass the resistance genes onto their offspring. Some of these may even be more resistant, etc. So it can be that the entire colony is mostly unaffected by the poison.
