Before you decide that pet rats are for you, here are some absolute must reads before you adopt. This is a collection of articles that we have found most useful, and for the most part, are inline with our our views on good husbandry and all things that go along with keeping fancy rats. When I have some time, I'll be adding some of my own articles. This list is a work in progress!
