Introduction

Hi, I'm Raquel. I have had pet rats for 18 years. I co-moderate the Rattie_Health yahoogroup and am the rattie "Ambassador" for the North American Rat and Mouse Club, International (NARMCI),--rat shows, socials, education, etc.

Additional Information

"If it's rattie information, you'll find it in our rat meetup."

What Raquel is saying about this Meetup Group

This is the place for information about pet rats! We are a lovely group of more and less experienced rat owners or lovers who enjoy learning from one another about our beloved pets. We also hope to let others know that pet rats are fun! We will meet in neighboring states to encourage others to get together in similar fashion, networking NY, NJ, CT, and PA.

You must be signed in to post a Greeting.
