RATS 101
Which foods are safe? What makes a cage suitable? What’s fact and what’s fiction? Let's break some myths and look into the basics of rat care.
When looking for information online, you’ll come across a lot of misinformation and people arguing opinion over facts. Information is constantly changing and it can be a pain to find out what info is outdated. A good rat owner will always be open to improving their care as they learn and become aware of new information. Our care now and a decade a go is massively different, so to help new and veteran rat owners to find the newest care info, I’ve gathered all the basics into one place and will be updating the guide as new info surfaces.

From being a brand new rat owner to even now, I use this site on a regular basis and always am learning something new from it. Very in depth guide that I share with every rat owner I can. Finding a good rat info site is really difficult and I'm super glad silver had taken the time to write all of this down, so a huge thanks to her! Thanks to this site, my rats have a much better life and I feel like I understand so much more on rat care!
