Below are a selection of web pages that I have found while surfing the web. Some of them are very useful and took me ages to find, others I just like. I have split the page into U.K. site and others so that there's no confusion about where the site is based. Also there is a section on rat communities that you can join!
Below you can see my NEW (correctly spelt!) banner, feel free to add it to your web site if you have enjoyed mine. I hope you find the links useful and interesting.
