Do rats get eye boogers?

[Drew]

Ok i just noticed my rat has a dark gunk in the front corner of his eyes on both sides. Are these like sleepers?

Was it reddish? Rats get porphyrin but shouldn't be too thick though.

There shouldn't be actual eye 'boogers' so much as there can be a build up of porphyrin in the corners of their eyes. It can look like there's something there, but it's only liquid. Once they groom their face it should go away.
