The Wererat's Books: Caring for Rats

The newer rat books have better, more accurate information on health and care of rats (especially concerning the hazards of cedar and pine bedding); all have wonderful pictures. Responsible human companions to rats should have at least one of these books in their library. If you would like to buy rat books in Canadian dollars, please visit Virginia's Rat-Related Books, an affiliate of Chapters.ca.
