CongRATulations on bringing companion rats into your family. We are sure you will be delighted with their antics, personalities, and wonderful characteristics. Since part of our aim is to try to ensure that everyone has the resources to properly care for and maintain their companion rats, we have put together this basic rat care booklet for you to download and print out so that you can always have the best available information right at your fingertips. We update this resource every once in a while and that will be reflected on the revision date published in the booklet.
