A pen with number 3701 on its pen label means the occupier is entered in class 37 - silvered - and is an adult rat. The 01 after the class number means it is the first entry of that variety. The second and third entries in that class would be 3702 and 3703. Pen labels are supplied on your arrival at the show and these have black numbers for the Variety classes, red numbers for kittens and green for all Pet classes, whether adult or kitten rats are shown. This assists the judges and stewards in deciding which rat goes where on the show benches. Remember to bring bedding for your show pens and put pen labels onto the plastic strip attached to one end of your hire pen. Once your rat is safely in its pen, place the pen onto one of the show benches when it will be placed in judging order by a steward. Then sit back and enjoy your afternoon !
