January-30-2009: Just want to post an update on Rose- the tumor was removed and she's doing great! The vet used glue
on the incision and it was closed up within a week. After her fur grows back she'll be good as new!
January-9-2009: New photos added to the Visitor's Gallery and new links added to the Links page. Thanks to everyone who
sent in cute pictures or exchanged links with me!
Now an update on the critters: Fiona and Rose turned 24 months (2 years) old this month, a fair age for rats! Fiona has
done beautifully after her tumor removal, she's even taken up using the wheel. Poor Rosie has been working on a tumor of her
own, in the same place as Fi's (under the left arm.) She's going in for surgery next week, so keep your fingers crossed for
her!
October-23-2008: Hello! Been awhile, I know! Anyway, I've reworked the FAQ page and tweaked the Rat Care page (along
with a few others,) mainly because I just didn't like the wording. I think everything is much more clear and professional
sounding, and less like me rambling on. I'm going to try to make time to go through more pages and tweak/remove things I can't
stay on top of, like the poll.
I've also put up a page about my mice, and check out the Crews' Page (formerly the Girls' Page) and meet my latest
additions (up to six rats now!) and see a semi-recent picture of my new cage set-up (soon to be my former cage set-up, more
rats need more space!)
February-19-2008: The long awaited section on litter box training has been added to the FAQ/Trick Training page!!! Udates
to the Feeding/Housing sections of the Rat Care page and a picture of my cage set up added to the girl's page. Also
some new pictures added to the Visitor's Gallery, thanks to those who took the time to send in their pics!
December-14-2007: New picture added to the Visitor's Gallery!
December-10-2007: New picture of the girls added to the Welcome page. Ain't it cute?!
November-22-2007: Lots of new (and cute!) pictures added to the girls page. Plus two videos so you can see their cuteness
in action!
November-21-2007: Some mighty cute pictures added to the Visitor's Photo Gallery. (If you'd like a picture of your ratties
added just send it in!) The litter box training has been going well, I will hopefully have training info up soon!
October-16-2007: Well, I had some extra time today so I finished up the sections on quarantine, introductions,
and socialization. I’ve recently started litter box training with my four girls so I will soon add a section on litter
box training as well.
October-15-2007: Check out an interesting new article on the Myths and Legends page. Also coming soon to the Rat Care page-
sections on quarantine, introductions, and socialization.
October-12-2007: I have decided to replace the Rat of the Month contest page with a Visitor's Photo Gallery. If you'd
like to submit a picture of your rattie/s please send me an email! I've also done a little 'housecleaning' around the
site.
August-25-2007: Some big news...I have added another rattie to my family. Saki is a 12 week old black Berkshire. You
can see some pictures of her in the Photo Gallery! I have also made some changes to the Welcome page by adding a section for
rescue rats in need of homes.
August-15-2007: I've added a new page called "So You Want a Pet Rat?" Also updates to the FAQ and Rainbow Bridge page.
July-3-2007: I've made a new banner, feel free to take a copy! Just right click and save. For more banners check the
Rattie Links page.
July-2-2007: New link on the Links page and an update to the Rainbow Bridge page.
June-28-2007: Updates to the Rat Care page. Also, I have adopted another rattie! A little blue hooded girl named
Lana. New pictures are posted in the Photo Gallery!
April-15-2007: Welcome to the remodeled Rats R Cool website! Every page has
been edited and updated in some way. Some pages have been moved or are gone entirely and new pages have been
added. After nearly seven (yes, I did say seven!) years on the world wide web the RRC site was in need of a
major overhaul, particularly since I must admit I have neglected it in the past few years. As I have mentioned
before, I maintain this website in my spare time and much has changed for me within the past few years and needless to
say the site has sadly suffered for it. I even briefly considered shuting down RRC, but decided to stick with it! Even
though I have not actively promoted it for years, RRC still recevies nearly 2000 hits a month (though that
darn broken counter on the Welcome page doen't reflect it!) When I first started this site I got maybe 10-15 hits that first
month it was online. RRC sure has come a long way since those early days when I hardly knew how to post a photo (now I am
fairly good with HTML!) I would really like for the site to be like it once was---useful to new rattie owners and always up-to-date.
I would also like to start the Rat of the Month contests again. Hopefully I am now in a position to make that happen.
As for my other major announcement- after several years of being rat-less I have adopted
two rattie girls- Rose, a beige and white bareback and Fiona, a black and white hooded. Be prepared for lots
of cute photos!
