I know this has nothing to do w/ rats but I saw a few posts that mentioned this here so I just had to respond!

About everyone who is a tenager who had problems on prev. boards, what rude groups you visited. If you are truly an animal lover you should help anyone learn more about proper care and accept everyone as they are not by age. That is age discrimination. Hey when I was young I was always wanting to learn more and I am sure those mean people were not born w/ all their smarts. I am glad you found this board and like it here!!!
