Rattie Resources
The following is a list of favorite websites, books, magazines and rat associations that would help any rat lover!
Favorite Sites
This site is by far one of my favorite rattie connection sites! Find everything from information on Veterinarians and Health Care to Breeders and Rescue rats across the state to supplies for your rat kids, and so much more! Rattie information from other rattie lovers!
A great site to find information about showing and breeding rats. There are some fantastic charts on here for sexing babies and determining color varieties. They also have several wonderful books and rattie items for sale.
A comprehensive site devoted to rat health care information.
So you have big plans for your rat!? Try rat agility! This site gives you all the information you need to know about teaching your rat how to maneuver a course. You can even buy rattie agility sets here!
It's like Facebook for Pet lovers and so much more! Create your own pet pages, find out about pet products, services, pet news and make friends in your area or across the country!
A great site for all your pet's needs. Petco has been instrumental in helping Rat Haven raise money and supplies for our homeless ratties. I also work for Petco in Viera, FL and bring the rats in for adoption on Saturdays. Please stop in and visit with us. I'd love to help you out with any of your rat kid's needs.
Rat Haven Rescue works together with Last Chance Sanctuary to help find homes for homeless pets. Last Chance Rescue finds homes for mainly cats, so if you are looking for a new kitty friend please check out their adoptable cats on petfinder.com. Last Chance Sanctuary is at the Viera Petco every weekend and their foster moms are nice enough to help out with rattie adoptions when I am at work.
Favorite Books & Magazines
Author: Debbie Ducommun
ISBN:1-889540-71-4
Debbie Ducommun really knows her stuff! This book was pretty much my 'Rat Bible' when it first came out and I still refer to it today. I would say it's a must-have for any rat owner.
Author: Debbie Ducommun
ISBN: 978-0-7938-0651-5
Debbie does it again with this great book. Filled with ideas for games and tricks to enrich your rattie's lives. There is even a section on how to design your own mazes and games and a rat intelligence test!
A monthly publication you can find on most newsstands. There is good general information on pocket pets. I particularly like the ads for products you find in these magazines and the photo contests. They put out a specific magazine just for rats that is fantastic, but I believe it is just once a year.
