Please be advised that excepting special circumstances, I don't adopt out rats that were previously bred. Their own babies being the ultimate gift a mother can give, I feel it would be a monstrous betrayal to get rid of them to make room for more. More what? More useless colours and patterns, while not having a clue about the long term health of the parents of all these burgeoning varieties? The latest fad has been to import rats from every other country in Europe, while the health of our local varieties goes largely unperfected. Bred rats, whether they've given up 1 or 1000 litters (figuratively speaking of course) deserve a retirement, preferably in their own familiar home with their ratty families, ratty friends and their breeder. I don't see elegant dog breeders dumping their elders, and neither will I. Aside from the welfare aspect, I feel it's also a betrayal of the clients who trust that their purchases are descending from the most (not 'possibly' most) genetically healthy "stock" (sorry for the term) while elders aren't kept long enough to determine this extensively. My 10-month old Adults offered below are actually not culls but rather a result of some doubt re. their exact Sire therefore my data may be incorrect. Expected lifespan is 3. Their parents, and grandparents still reside within the Rattery. Given the heavy investment in their health and welfare, I hope you consider one of my Adult rats. Inquire for more information.

Adorable Charlie and her 2 kids lived on my nightstand as pets for a long time. After Twyla was lost in a cage accident, I sadly realized these rats are too good and clever to share their time with a breeding rattery. They're almost human in personality and intelligence, loving and loyal. Charlie is legendary --previously adopted, twice escaped and found her way back to our house. I'm afraid they'll waste away for boredom or get hurt if they don't have enough playtime and mental challenges. I'd like Pita and Charlie to go to a home where they're the only rats.
