Considering the damage that I have heard that some rats can do maybe you should call him 'Chaos??'

I have a lot of rat care info, if you need any advice just PM me and I can post it all to you.

OOH! kick it to me!!, kick it to me!! I have two new young rat mouths to feed (bear and brutus). it was actually my fault brock ended up with one,
much to the disgust of our mother! Is it online/electronic media, or stuff you have that you need to actually post? no doubt brock and i will end up sharing it anyway.

A big printed booklet. PM me your address and i'll send you a copy.

Blackie, Plague....hmm thinking thinking

I have a Rat manual here, actually I somehow ended up with two copies.

"Rats - A complete Pet Owner's Manual"

Review here: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/pet_rats/39346

If anyone wants one PM your address and I'll throw one in the mail.

White and pink eyes? Just call it Alby for albino, or mixo..

Rats are the best pets for kids because they only live a short time (3 years?), my youngest had 2 females, "ratso and fatso", original huh!

Very clean animals, in fact cleaner than cats, but they need things to chew on as their front 2 teeth will grow too long otherwise, things like sticks and wood stuff that hasnt been treated, they will chew the paint off the cage bars so be careful how you house them. Plenty of green veg along with normal rat food and fresh water daily.If they dont eat it throw it away..

It is essential to keep their cage clean everyday and they like to be handled carefully as much as possible depending on their personalities, at the start I wasnt to keen on them but they do grow on you. They spent many an evening up my jumper around my neck while I watched TV, very affectionate animals, would have them again in a heart beat.

Dont get a male if you have females for obvious reasons, but a male can get real nasty when a female is on heat and a rat bite on ya neck or ear can really hurt

Info is in the post Dutch- sent it out yesterday.
