a newsletter, the Rat Report.
In June 2007, the Rat
Report was discontinued. Membership is now free. Members
have access to a forum. The Rat
Assistance & Teaching Society is the non-profit organization
associated with the rat fan club.

A favourite rat site.
Created by the author Suebee, this website has the very personal
atmosphere of a truly devoted pet rat owner. Not
only is the site full of affection for rats, it is also a great source
of information. There is a comprehensive brochure on Pet Shop
Guidelines as well as compiled a list of articles on cedar toxicity.
An extensive Rat Names List is available for those of you looking for
the perfect name for your pet! Suebee has also included the recipe for the
homemade diet she feeds her rats since the commercial rat
diets out there are often inadequate. This site has a very
popular forum.

The
Rat and Mouse Club of America (RMCA) No matter where you live in the world, you can participate in this club through their bi-monthly magazine called the Rat & Mouse Gazette. Unfortunately the Gazette has recently been discontinued but articles will remain on-line and the magazine may start up again in the future. The site offers an extensive collection of short articles that have been published in the magazine, FAQs, rat standards, and a medical drug chart (an excellent reference if your rat becomes ill). Rat-related merchandise such as T-shirts, beautiful rat posters, mugs and bookmarks can be purchased from the RMCA as well. An excellent resource for everyone. Canada has a chapter of the RMCA in Quebec:
