After much negotiating, today my sons got a pet rat each. Aiden has a black and white hooded rex and Angus has a black normal with white belly and socks.

 

I know there are many rat owners on here, so I was just wondering if you know of a rat forum that is as informative about rats as this one is about budgies?

 

I checked Kaz's other pet forums post, but it doen't look as if rats are included.

I have a rat. An agouti hooded :budgiedance: I haven't had any luck finding a forum as yet, but I haven't exactly been looking.. I used to breed them a few years ago and the little girl I've got now came from my aunty.

 

If you need any help with anything that you can't find the answer for send me a pm :thumbs_up:

Excellent, thanks Sunshine, will do! :budgiedance:

:budgiedance: :thumbs_up: :thankyou:

Exciting news... have sent you a PM...

Thanks Maesie, that's great info, cheers!!

Introducing Oscar and Ratatouille

 

They're only about twice the size of a mouse, but I'm told they'll get much bigger! Its amazing how friendly they are already after only owning them for 2 days.

 

Im not a fan of rats, but I bred fancy mice for a few years, and used the ausrfs nsw site alot. I imported a fair few mice from the eastern states from the members of ausrfs and theyre all lovely people to deal with and will help you with any questions you have.
