Introduction... This rat care guide contains recommendations based on our own research, trials, and tribulations which we've gone through over the years while caring for our own rats. Our sources of research include our vet, countless books, hands on experience, and of course the internet. Our ultimate goal is to provide the healthiest and safest care possible. We are constantly looking to learn new things about rat care. We would love to hear from anyone who has new and interesting advice to share! Did you find some information in this guide to be inaccurate? We'd love to hear from you too! Simply email us at cindy@digicitymn.com. We are always striving to improve our "Guidebook" to be the best that it can be. The products we recommend throughout this guide can all be found in the "Reviews" section of this site.
