Primer for
the Curious
Don't take my word that rats make great pets. Visit the following sites and learn about our furry rodent friends for yourself! Of course, these aren't the only sites out there... just the ones I like best, and I intentionally keep the list small so as to keep up to date on dead links. Avail yourself of the links pages on these sites, however, and you'll be swimming in a veritable sea of rattiness online.
Rat and Mouse Club of America: A great starter spot for fanciers of rats and their smaller, but equally cute, cousins.
Rat Fan Club: Founded by one of America's leading rat experts, and full of great articles and advice (particularly about rat health care). The message boards are especially wonderful.
"Rats Make Good Pets, Not Just Science Projects" by Gina Spadafori: Wonderful article that's a primer for rat care for children.
