there is a format that is required and rules to be followed when posting. please follow the format otherwise the poster will be notified to change it. if it is not changed in three days from notification then it will be deleted.
the format is as follows:
in the subject heading please indicate the number of rats, gender and location ONLY. example: 3, F, Saint John New Brunswick, CAN. please use full names when naming cities and states/provinces, abbrivation is fine for countries. you may write out the entire word when depicting gender or use F=female, M=male or B=both genders.
in the body please follow ladylady's format (as this has worked wonderfully so far) which is as follows:

you may also post pictures of them here instead of just the url but if you do make sure the pictures are no larger then 600x600. you can resize in photobucket if needed and you don't have your own program on your computer.
finally, some general rules:
please keep us updated when/if they find homes by replying to the post rather then editing.
when all have found homes please update your subject heading to that effect.
if you find out about new/different rats needing homes even if you have a post going already or even if you are a rescue please start a new topic for the new rats.
only reply if there is a need for more information or if you are notifying us of their homing progress. no bumping for bumping sake. this includes posts such as: "bump", "hello", "anyone interested", etc. unless you are looking for more information or giving more information, do not reply. any replies not offering/looking for information will be deleted.
if you want to post that your home is looking for rats please use the above format, just fill out whatever applies. to make it clearer when people are scanning through the titles please have your title say that you are looking for rats. as a template: "looking for # of rats, gender, area you are located in".
and that's it, thank you for reading and following the format and rules.
