QUICK ANSWERS FROM RAT-HELP AND RAT-INFO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section of the Lair came from sifting through 100s of answers we've provided on Rat-Help since its inception. While every pet rat is unique and special, there are a few things they have in common; enough, hopefully, that you can find some of your questions answered by using the form below (the actual questions being answered are further down this page). All answers are provided in a format showing the full URL as well as title of each linked article; we understand that sometimes this information will need to be emailed or printed and this will prevent you from losing the links provided. Please note that answers from rat-help and rat-info are not, nor do we claim them to be, a substitute for veterinarian advice and treatment from a good rat vet. This service is for pet rats only! We cannot provide help with wild animals (be they rescues or "unwanted guests"), your homework or lab assignment, or any other situations that are not pet rat related. find all rattie words (AND)find any rattie word (OR)exact match -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enter a search keyword above Rats!
