Welcome to Chelle's Critter Haven's Rat Care Guide. All the information provided here was put together by Chelle's Critter Haven, and should not be a substitute for proper vet care. We put this together in the hopes that it would help future (and current!) rat owners learn about rats' needs in a bit more depth. Everything written here has been collected from years of experience, personal research, medicinal research studies, veterinary recommendations, and personal opinions.

Of course, this is just a basic guide, and not every viewpoint is presented here for many of the sections. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please don't hesitate to contact Chelle at chellescritterhaven@gmail.com or contact your rat-knowledgeable veterinarian.
