Association of Colorado Rat Enthusiasts (ACRE)
ACRE Colorado Rat Club Promoting Responsible Handling of Rats Through Ethical Breeding & Care.
Welcome To ACRE!
The Association of Colorado Rat Enthusiasts (ACRE) was founded in 2006 and has been gaining support ever since, at that time it was a simple Colorado based forum. ACRE is now a non profit organization registered with the state of Colorado. We are dedicated to the betterment of the fancy rat through ethical and responsible breeding, and by encouraging proper rat care and ownership at home. ACRE became an American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association (AFRMA) affiliate in June of 2008.
ACRE helps educate about rats and how wonderful of a companion they are. We also coordinate rat educational events and shows for the Colorado rat community. This club is home to Colorado rat owners and breeders although many of our members are not in Colorado. ACRE has much to offer and we allow membership to anyone in the world who has an honest heart.
ACRE also offers a wonderful rat forum that helps educate everyone about how to better their knowledge of fancy rats. This forum is the large community that was started before our affiliation with AFRMA in 2008. ACRE's forum, the Colorado Rat List or "CRL" is a great place to learn about keeping rats as pets, and it is invaluable to those of you that breed and rescue, because it encompasses all aspects of fancy rat keeping. ACRE's forum is free to join and always child friendly. Our forum has about 220 members currently.

| Winter Weather Advice! |
| It's that time of year again! Every year we hear of so many cases of
rats suddenly sneezing. Remember that rats cannot handle temperature
changes in the home! Please take precautions to keep the house above
65F! Especially don't let them get cold at night. Remember repleted sneezes = respiratory infections! So please know that rats are are temperature sensitive! This is a very dangerous time of the year as we don't like to turn the furnace on until the last minute since it costs a lot to run. Please keep your friends warm! |
