Our Society

The National Pouched Rat Society is a not for profit (NFP) animal society.

The society is run by a group of owners, interested parties, and breeders who through their dedication to these fantastic animals, look to protect their interests as they become popular pets and provide help and support for owners

The Society was founded in May 2017 with a purpose of bringing about better unstanding, organisation, community and ethical guidelines of the keeping of Gambian Pouched Rats.

We have grown into a large society and have made real tangible impact on the daily lives of many new and existing owners and their animals across Europe and even further.

Animal societies in general are setup for the betterment of the species, be it, to better the breed, better the ethics or to lobby for change.

Our Society produces guidelines which aim to educate and inspire owners and breeders to adhere to, in order to better the treatment, care and happiness of not just the pouchies themselves but their owners too.
