Question
Simple question, but do you know where i can find information about showing rats? I live in the San Diego area. I cant seem to find any schedules on my own.
Thank you.
Hmm, I'm not really sure what club is most prevalent in that area. Have you tried the RMCA (http://www.rmca.org)? It looks like they have a California chapter (http://www.rmca-socal.org/) and they may be able to tell you more about shows in the area. I'm afraid that's about all I can offer as far as help, I haven't shown rats in several years and probably won't again. Good luck!

Expertise
I can answer any rat-related questions including feeding, housing, breeding, showing, genetics, health, and behaviour. I am a veterinary assistant and though I cannot answer in-depth health questions I am familiar with the most common ailments and treatments for rats. I have owned rats for 10 years and have been breeding them for 5 and have studied everything about them that I can get my hands on. I currently run my own rat care website at http://careguide.evergreenrattery.com and have been answering rat and other rodent questions via email and IM for several years now.
