::Interact::

 It is important to be able to interact with people, share ideas and expand our knowledge. Not to mention it is just plain enjoyable to converse with people that have the same interests as ourselves! 

NIRO Forum

 Once registered (free), the NIRO Forum is open to everyone. Hear about the latest NIRO News, discuss proper care and enrichment ideas, read about new litter announcements, participate in discussions about genetics, and post and view adorable rat photos! We have a section for regular Chit Chat, too. Join up and start posting alongside the rest of us! Approval for new registrations may take 24 hours.

NIRO Rat Chats

  Participate in our weekly real-time chats! VP Dee Hale hosts this chat every Wednesday night at 8:30ET/7:30CT. These chats are an important venue for educating all who attend. Everyone is welcome!
