If you own rats, it’d be great if you could fill in the Rat Ownership Survey which is being conducted by researchers at Bristol Veterinary School. The aim of the survey is to better understand the UK’s pet rat population and it shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to complete.
The survey is available here.
