So,  morticia has to get rid of her ratties.

Please send her a note, shout, etc. if you can take some or if you can participate in a possible train to get them other places!

 Sin. asked me to make this journal for them!

They are looking to adopt some ratbutts and are looking for breeders/adoption agencies in the area. They said they do not mind driving a bit of distance to get them either.

For anyone else who is curious about rat adoptions, you can always check GooseMoose and Rat Forums as well. If you know of an adoption agency/breeder please let me know! I would love to make a list for the page.

Rats can show empathy including complex empathy. They are able to put themselves in the shoes of their buddies to help them out. They also like to share.

I think the world needs to learn from our rodent buddies!

How many rats you got? Who are they? What colors and types? Pictures?

Show me your small furry squeaks! Even if you don't have pictures, tell us about them!


I, Skittle, have:
Isabelle, PEW
Lady Gaga, PEW
Cake, Himalayan Dumbo
Ruggles, Black Hooded
Kipper, Black Hooded

So I put these on the front page as well. If you have any suggestions or links to add, comment here (or PM me on my main account).

For some reason there wasn't an FA group for rat parents, lovers and enthusiasts! So, I made one!

Please be respectful of all our members. That means no EW RATS comments, no mentions of feeding them to your snakes or other animals, etc. Remember, these are our pets, families and children. They are more than 'just rats' to us.
