If you want to talk to other rat-lovers about rats there are two forums that I highly recommend; the Ratlist
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ratlist
And my own group that I founded in 2002, Holistarat
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/holistarat
At present I belong to many yahoo rat groups, and groups that are not Yahoo, and all of them are good, informative forums to learn from on how to properly care for your rats. I will give you the links to any of them that you wish to explore.
We can talk one on one about the care of your rats.
spazrats@yahoo.ca
As for websites that can help you, my own website http://spazrats.tripod.com will lead you to many ratty links that will help you care for your rats.
There are so many sites I could recommend here that it would take up too much room in this answer, so I will just name a few that are kept by "friends" that I know from the rat forums:

The following links I would recommend bookmarking because they will be a continuous help to you as a rat-keeper
For the Health of rats
http://ratguide.com/
The Behavior and Biology of rats
http://www.ratbehavior.org/
For awesome rat pictures, and links to other tips and care pages
http://www.dapper.com.au/
The biggest reason why the Dapper Rat website stands out among others is because of the awesome photography of her pet rats. I know the owner of this website and she is a professional photographer.

The best site and links contained thereon in is The National Fancy Rat Society. Just google that name and it will come up as the first link.
Good luck!!
