Good Rat care Sites?

[Dahlas]

I have a very nice family interested in either the two boys or the three girls.....they adopted a dog from me a few years ago and did a great job training and caring for him....he is a valued member of the family.
Their son remembered that I had rats and asked his mom how she felt about adding a rat to their family....the whole family like the idea. I think they would be very loving and caring but they know nothing about rats or their care....I have explained they need to be kept with a least one other rat of the same sex..... they are coming to my home on Sunday to meet the rats and learn more about them....I would like to give them some info to read until they come over.....I want to make sure that they are knowledgeable and serious about this commitment....Plus I will send this info to my shelter manager and staff they have a lot to learn as well....
So anyone have any good sites bookmarked for me to pass along?

Good choices! When I was new to rats I found the amount of info overwhelming, so those sites were helpful.

I also like http://www.dapper.com.au/
for ideas about toys and fun things to do with ratties.

And of course, for great advice and almost instant answers for any questions they might have, you can't go wrong with http://jorats.com :wink:

Are you adopting out your baby rats?

 

[Dahlas]

No not my babies.....I did let to go live with my best friend Beth...Nellie and Heather. She adores them and tells me stories of them everyday........
I have 5 foster babies........and they are being adopted.

That makes sense. I though it strange that you were re-homing your babies to people you don't know really well.

Those foster rats are beautiful! I hope they find really nice forever homes.
