About Becky Twogood
Expertise
I can answer questions about fancy rats, i.e what type they are (hooded, rex, capped), breeding, what they eat, toys, cages, propper bedding, and general care. I can help to identify common rat ailments, however, as I am not a vetranarian, I can not answer indepth medical questions. I will answer all questions to the best of my abilities.

Experience
I have been breeding fancy rats for the past 5 years, and raising them for 12 years. I have about 30 rats, give or take a few, some for breeding, but mostly Rescues. I say give or take a few because I do alot of rescueing, and I have several rats in and out, quite often, BUT I know them all by name :0)

Hi! I also thought girls didn't mark (I have two boys and they do all day long!) But I also have read that rats "Talk" to each other with the phermones in their pee. Like "I ws scared when I was here" , or "I had fun over here", kinda like that. They can tell if another rat was in danger or scared or whatever by smelling each other's pee. lol. Don't know if that's true but that is what I read. Hope your rattie is doing ok!
