Welcome to Midwest Mischief Rat Lovers' Club! We're based in Minnesota, but this list serves as common ground for anyone interested in pet rats, which all deserve responsible, loving homes.

We encourage members to post any interesting tidbits about rat care, cool rat sites, new rat products, informative rat articles, and anything else that might interest a rat lover. We also encourage members to ask questions when help is needed, and you’re welcome to post about rats who need new and loving homes. Don’t forget to share anything neat you might read on other lists and forums.

Many of our members are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and like to get together to do "rat stuff”; scrapbook; have lunch or dinner; go to the library, zoo, or museums; and so on. If you are interested in attending a get together, please email Cindy at cindy@digicitymn.com for more information.

If you want to talk about rats as food for other pets, we aren't interested.

Please check out the group files for fliers on rat care and club promotion; a list of recommended Minnesota rat vets; and other important information. Members can post photos in the photos section and add information to the calendar.

Please visit RattyRat.com for an in-depth guide on how to purchase and care for your rats, including extras like a never fail way to introduce your rats, a colors guide, a cage calculator, a sexing guide, a huge review section of over 190 different rat products, a giant names list, memorial poetry, rats in science, rat folklore, and much, much more!

If you would like to purchase merchandise with our wonderful logo on it, please visit our shops at Zazzle and Cafépress.

Welcome again, and enjoy!
