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 Information is constantly changing and it can be a pain to find out what info is outdated.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.

Very well written guide which is consistently backed up by good sources unlike some online websites. Suits new and experienced owners as the information is always up to date and easy to understand.
The food list is my favourite resource as my rats love to beg for food and knowing what they can and can’t have so easily accessible is great. This also helped me correct my rats diet as they were not getting a nutritionally complete food - the improvement in their coats and overall health is amazing!
