Some good links for rat info

http://www.rmca.org/ - tons of great stuff for owners and rodent-curious.
http://www.rmca.org/Vets/index.php?action=list is where they hae so kindly listed vets all across the country who are rat-friendly. It's amazingly difficult to find a vet who deals with rats, especially where I live. If you need a vet in New Mexico, I can send you to my terriffic vet, Dr. LaVallee. (Not sure why my vet isn't listed there yet, I've communicatd with the site owner about the vets in the area- who was clueless and that my guy is the only one who knows anything, but he's not listed yet...)

great place to ask questions and just sit back, read, and learn. Tons of data files to read up on, great information from people all across the world who are vets, vet techs, rat rescuers, and shelters.

http://www.ratsrule.com/diet.html the perfect diet for rats, constructed by a vet and a rat expert. It's easy to do, and mixes together to last a long time and make for some very healthy and happy rats. All those years of feeding my pet rats store-bought seed mixes, I never knew that those aren't even good for them and don't contain what they need. Arg!
Pet stores also still sell cedar and pine as bedding, even thoug it's now known that cedar is a carcinogen and rats have allergies to pine that can make it very hard for them to breathe! If only I knew back then. It makes me seriously wonder why pet stores persist in selling that junk.

I'll get more for you soon, I just wanted to share some good initial info, and actually post on here. I'm on Myspace as ratrefuge too, though I think I will have a lot of the same entries.
Once I figure out what I'm doing, I'll have an example of my flyer up for distributon, as well as t-shirts wit our mascott and logo.
