Registering on our forums is free and easy! “Why would I register?”, you ask. Well, simply because with the amount of rat owners online, there is a wealth of information being shared daily, as well as photos, stories, and shared comfort when a beloved rat passes on. Being a member allows you to participate in discussions and read hidden sections that guests to the forum can’t see.

How to register:

Visit the forums and you’ll find this at the top of the page:

Click the register link and you’ll be taken to a page explaining the terms and conditions. Have a read through, and when you’re done, tick the “I agree…” block and click “Register”.

On the next page, you’ll be given fields to enter your details. Your log in name need not be your real name. You may choose anything (within reason) for your log in name. This will also be the name other members will know you as.

You’ll choose a password, and you’ll confirm your password. Passwords are encoded into the forum, so not even the forum admin may see your password. Should you forget your password, use the Forgotten Password feature.

You’ll have to provide your email address, but this is simply to verify you are not a computer generated bot registering on the forums. You’d be surprised at how many fake registrations we get every day. A .co.za email address is best.

In the Security Code field, type out the letter and number sequence you see to the right of the screen. This is another verification process.

After filling in the other required fields and answering some security questions, you can go ahead and click “Submit my registration” now!

Check your email for your verification email and respond as directed. After this, the final step is waiting to be verified by me (yet another verification process…they are all necessary, I promise, because fake registrations still manage to get through!).

If you’re not verified within a few days of registration, or you’re having trouble registering, contact tails and I’ll get it sorted out!

CongRATS, you are now registered! We look forward to hearing about you and your pets online!

      Hi email me with the details you’d use in the registration and I’ll create your account. We get too many spam registrations from gmail so I have disabled gmail accounts.

    Hello I’ve validated my account via email twice i think, but I cannot ask questions, or start a new topic on any forum, I have some questions about my pet rat who is booked for surgery this week, so if I could possibly gain access to a forum please.

    Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
    a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
