As a consequence of having one of the oldest and (for reasons that are completely beyond my comprehension) most popular rat web sites on the web, I get a LOT of email. Far too much to keep up with, unfortunately. So unless you have a very specific question for me and you don't mind waiting (maybe for all of eternity) for an answer, I'd like to suggest a better alternative: send your rat related questions to one of the following email addresses. Your message will go to a list of volunteers (myself and about a dozen others) at least one of whom will answer your question, often within 24 hours.
rathelp@yahoogroups.com: This list is for urgent rat questions, such as questions about medical problems. We try to answer these questions as quickly as possible, but when in doubt, see your vet! You may also want to visit the RatHelp list homepage and search the archive.
ratinfo@yahoogroups.com: This list is for more general, less urgent questions. You may want to check the FAQs page listed below before asking!
You can find a lot of useful info starting at The RMCA Resources Page including:
