Included here below are some listings of websites that I have found to be very helpful in providing information on the care of pet rats, as well as, books on rat care and clubs. I have also included a few links that may help you to find a veterinarian trained in the care of pet rats, in your area.

If after reviewing the material presented here, you still have a rat related question that you are unable to find an answer too:
email: Rat-Info.
If your question is of a more urgent nature and requires an immediate response
