Hi all,

I am just a normal person who happens to have a couple of very cute rats.

I am wondering, is there enough peolpe out there that would want to help in
building a web page about rats as a pet?

Maybe you should start a newsgroup about rats and see how it takes off. I
bet there are the people and only have to find out about it. You might try
posting about this idea on alt.pets.hamsters as there are some there that
might find this idea a good one.

Oh, by the way I forgot to add the warning that chinchillas are addictive -
chinchilla owners tend to agree that you can't stop at just one, LOL
I started with one and currently have 6!

Ya, I am sure I would fit in well with other owners as I also can not seem
to get enough of a good thing. I ended up with 10 hamsters but that was due
to human error when one of the boys hurriedly put one back into the wrong
cage:)

Try alt.pets.rodents.rats for a couple of weeks, and then make up your mind
on whether you want a rat, whether you want male or female, and how many. A
lot of great discussion there specifically about rats, and newcomers are
always welcome.
