Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Houseing African Soft Furred Rats
When I get home I am going to FL for my vacation and I plan to pick up some African Softies while down there.
Can they be kept like normal rats? I know they have a different nutritional requirement but on the average can I keep them with my rats in a regular rack? ( concreate tub rack, water bottle, food on top ).
Thanks, Blue

I don't have a "rack" of the nature you described but I keep my colony basically the same way I did when I had rats/mice. They are all in tubs with homemade lids. I provide mine with a bit of wood to gnaw on and they definitely use it!
As far as different nutritional requirements there are some thoughts out there and different methods but I personally am still feeding a rodent block just like I was to my rats/mice.
I'm actually in the process of setting up a website/forum for discussion and info on these rats as well as a way for others to track down where and whom they can't get them from. Keep an eye out I hope to have it started this weekend.

Great site Heath!
I was just going to start a thread to see what a good design for ASF caging would be---but there's no need now!
Good stuff!
