Wikipedia:WikiProject Rodents/References

The following are references of possible use to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RODENT WikiProject Rodents Group.

I have added my name after books that I have hard copies of; if it is not in your library and not online in part or full, I can look up / scan the info needed. (I have not bothered to do this with articles that are definitely online and linked to here). If you want to offer to look up info in books you have, please add your name to references too.

I have included some of my older pet books- while info might be out of date, there may be some historical info of use in them --6th Happiness (talk) 00:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
