Have you ever wondered where that specific article or crosspost went? You know, the one you need now, today, not back when you read it, but now you can't remember where you read it?! Store it here.

This forum is a clearinghouse for posting and storing information regarding rats that has been legally copied, crossposted, or forwarded and for placing any other documents (no illegally reproduced information, please) regarding rats for storage and future referral including health information, event notices, nutrition articles, action items, press releases, rescue groups...anything you want to store "permanently" for future access and to which you may want to refer others. Any city, state, country, continent, individual, group, etc., may contribute. No flaming, no slamming; this is a pet-rat-lovers-only site!
