Intro
This is a short guide to rat care. Please read through this guide before applying for rats from me, as it will hopefully answer the basics when it comes to rat care. Everyone will care for rats differently and I do not expect everyone to keep their rats exactly the same as me. However, I have a duty of care and responsibility as their breeder and want my rats to have a good quality of life in their new homes. If there is anything in this guide that you strongly disagree with, then my rats may not be a good fit for you as pets and it may be beneficial for you to seek pets from another breeder. Hopefully this guide will give you a broad range of ideas to help you pick what works best for you and your rats.
