Biography. After Scabbers, Ron's old pet rat, disappeared (having been found out to be Peter Pettigrew), Sirius Black, who felt partly responsible for Ron's loss of a pet, sent him Pigwidgeon (nicknamed "Pig").
Scabbers was Ron Weasley's pet rat. Passed down throughout the family, by the time he came to Ron, Scabbers was living up to his name with patchy fur and a distinct preference for sleeping. Although Scabbers was a loyal companion to Ron, the rat wasn't all that he seemed and was in fact hiding a terrible secret.
Peter spent twelve years living in his Animagus form as the Weasley family's pet rat, Scabbers. However, his identity was exposed by Sirius and Remus in 1994, and Pettigrew, with nowhere else to go, sought protection in returning to the service of Lord Voldemort, whom he found in the forests of Albania.
In the Harry Potter series, it is stated that Ron Weasley was given Scabbers the rat instead of an owl because owls were more expensive. This is a reflection of the Weasley family's financial status. Scabbers was a long-held pet in the Weasley family, previously belonging to Percy, before being passed down to Ron.
Wormtail spent 12 YEARS with the Weasley's, and for the first three films, Ron treated “Scabbers” as a loving pet and treated him well as far as we known. Ron was protective of him, especially from Crookshanks, and taken care of him.

Did Ron ever get another pet?
After Scabbers, Ron's old pet rat, disappeared (having been found out to be Peter Pettigrew), Sirius Black, who felt partly responsible for Ron's loss of a pet, sent him Pigwidgeon (nicknamed "Pig").
Scabbers was actually, as we know, Peter Pettigrew, an unregistered animagus hiding out as the Weasley's pet rat. No matter how hard he focussed his intention on turning the rat yellow, or even if he'd said the words rattus colovaria (erm, we did our best) the spell would never have worked because the rat wasn't a rat.
In the spring of 1998, during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor, in a moment of rare mercy, he hesitated to strangle Harry Potter when Harry reminded him of his life debt. The silver hand Lord Voldemort had given Pettigrew interpreted his hesitation as weakness or disloyalty, and strangled him to death.
Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow was the incantation of a most likely nonsensical and non-existent spell fabricated by George Weasley that could supposedly change Ron Weasley's pet rat Scabbers's fur colour to yellow, but did not have such effect.
Scabbers was technically a hand me down from his older brother so Ron was stuck with him. That being said, the fact nobody complained that it's a breach of the rules strongly says nobody honestly cares to be that much of a stickler towards it.
Peter 'Scabbers' 'Wormtail' Pettigrew is Ron Weasley's pet rat. He is an old, rather useless rat and Ron pretends to hate him, but he is secretly very attached to the rat.
Ron Weasley had deep scars on his arms from being attacked by brains with tentacles at the Department of Mysteries.

Loyalty. The Weasley family kept several pigs at their family home The Burrow during the 1990s. They were mucking about outside when Ron, Fred and George Weasley arrived home after picking up Harry Potter in the Flying Ford Anglia in August 1992, and wanted to see what was going on.
Hermione Granger's cat in Harry Potter is named Crookshanks. Crookshanks is a distinctive-looking half-Kneazle, half-cat hybrid with a squashed face and a talent for detecting untrustworthy individuals.
Harry spoke the word "open" in Parseltongue, causing the locket to spring open. Inside the locket's picture windows were two eyes that resembled Tom Riddle's eyes, before his soul-severing caused his eyes to turn red. The locket then began to mentally torture Ron mocking his greatest fears.
Ron curses himself. The Slug-Vomiting Charm (Slugulus Eructo) is a charm that causes the victim to burp up slugs and slime for approximately ten minutes; they may also take on a sallow complexion as a side-effect. It is described as a green jet of light.

For Christmas, Lavender sent Ron a gaudy necklace which read 'My Sweetheart' dangling from a chain. He disliked it immensely and after the holidays, their relationship began to go downhill. Lavender was very upset when Ron was poisoned, and when he increasingly pulled away from her.
Nothing says Hallowe'en horror more than slug slime mixed with Ron Weasley's vomit, right? Poor Ron was only trying to curse Draco Malfoy for calling Hermione a Mudblood.
He regurgitates the slimy creatures after his spell on Malfoy backfires. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron, said the slugs were his favorite scene in the movie. Of course, he wasn't eating real slugs but tasty imitations. “That was so fun because they had all these different flavors of slug slime,” Grint told CBBC.
