Booklets
Tame Mice & Rats Booklet. Author: Not Named, Publisher: Ditchfields. Publication date: Late 1950's. Cover: Paper. No. Pages: - CURRENT
A very good booklet for the beginner in mice, although the rat section is very short and out of date. We strongly recomend this booklet which contains good basic information, including colour breeding. (Many Mouse Fanciers started keeping mice after reading this booklet. Obtainable from some pet shops. Price varies. Obtainable through the LSCMRC for 1 pound including postage.

Some new leaflets on rats are being published shortly by the LSCMRC
Fur & Feather published a regular mouse page from the 1890's to the 1970's when they ceased publication. It was considered a necessity by Mouse Fanciers. Little on rats in later years. On resuming publiction, Fur & Feather have printed occasional articles on mice and rats.
A useful source of out-of-print Fancy Mouse & Fancy Rat publications (as well as many books on other Fancies - pigeons, poultry, rabbits, etc.) is Veronica Mayhew (Antiquarian Bookseller), Trewena, Behoes Lane, Woodcote, Nr Reading, Berks RG8 0PP -email: veronica.mayhew@virgin.net (Please mention this web site)
