Last night, I figured out what my fiance is naming the next litter here at Umbrella.... His clues were "A seagull" and "weather types."

Sigh XD

Happy 1st birthday, Moops!

She enjoyed some mini cupcakes with us to celebrate, though my girl liked the icing a lot more than the cupcakes themselves, lol

Several updates will be coming in the next week or so :)

The rattery website is being updated with new and expanded information over the next few days, including new pictures of working does and bucks due to be added, as well as new pictures of available rats for adoption, and nailed-down breeding plans for the back-half of 2024.

The adoption policy agreement found through my linktree has been expanded on, including terms that all future adopters will agree to and further information about policies upheld by the rattery.

If you've adopted rats from me at any time in the past, feel free to get in touch via email, FB, or IG, and give me updates/let me know how your rats are doing! Any outstanding questions or concerns, shoot! If they've been to the vet, please let me know so I can keep my records up to date! I use the Notion app to manage my rattery info and keep track of pedigrees, and each individual rat I produce has their own section for information (such as new names, their adopters contact info, and any health updates). Be advised any and all updates may be shared by me on social media.

Also feel free to star/review on this page itself! Thanks for your continued support, it means so much to me! 🥰

SOS! Listen up everyone!
Sweetie’s Rescue is in a bind!

We're all set to attend a fantastic event this weekend the Ancaster Pet Festival (Saturday and Sunday) but we've hit a major roadblock - no transportation!

We've exhausted all our options within our team and are now turning to our amazing community for help. We've already invested in a booth and are counting on this event to raise much-needed funds for our furry friends.

If you have a vehicle and a few hours to spare this weekend, please consider being our hero! We would have to leave Sarnia for 6:30 am and it goes until 6 pm on Saturday and 4 pm on Sunday.

Your kindness will make a world of difference to these deserving bunnies.

Contact us IMMEDIATELY if you can help!

Olivia is due in 2 weeks, and all signs look to be that she's expecting!!

My fiance won't give me even a hint as to what the naming theme for this litter may be 🫥

(We, as a family, take turns getting 'naming rights' for each litter, and it's his turn next up!)

We love to see it!!! 🥰🤩🥳

We're still mourning the loss of Nora's litter but have decided to pair Taco again, this time with Olivia. We have high hopes for this pairing, and if it's successful, it will be the beginning of a new chapter for Umbrella!

Things have been quiet here on social media -- I had my daughter visiting last week and then this week I've got the flu! 🙃

But I wanted to make an update and let yall know that Nora has moved into the medbay this morning and we're expecting beans starting Friday!!!

Hint for the name theme: 🥐🥞🧇🍳

I'm so excited! This litter is the beginning of a new direction for Umbrella Rats that's been several, several months in the making. I can't wait to share what's coming 💕

It's Monday! Which means it's cage cleaning day here at the Academy!

I have 4 SCN's to clean, and one converted bird cage (aka the frat house, lol): changing aspen shavings out (and leaving 25% behind for familiarity), wiping down shelves, baskets, and bars with unscented baby wipes and using apple vinegar spray and a toothbrush to get out caked on p**p and grime, switching out fabrics (pillow cases, tea towels for nesting, and some hammocks), and rearranging enrichment!

Not to mention, it's New Box Day!-- easily the rats' favourite day of the week, lol!

I'm also hoping to take 6-week glamour shots of the cryptids litter! Exciting!!! They've gotten so big and are brave and playful funky monkeys! Just gorgeous!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Brilliant words 👏

My daughter and I suspect their pet-rat Omega is deaf 😅

We tried several tests of making noises and crinkling things behind her, out of sight, and zero reaction whatsoever. We've noticed she doesn't react to auditory cues such as calling her name (or talking to her, at all!) and she kind of follows the cues of her fam in the cage to figure out what's going on. She also sleeps REALLY heavy, haha!

If it's the case and she *is* deaf, it's just one more awesome thing about Omega to love!

🕸🕸🕸 It's been a busy week here with a few adoptions (congrats, Horatio & Columbo!), and I realized I missed posting our newest litter!

We welcomed 9 beautiful beans to the Academy on 26 May 💜 everyone is beautiful, loud and strong!

Looks like we've got 3 boys, 6 girls. 2 velveteen, 3 top ears (the rest are dumbo). 2 siamese, one hooded, and a healthy handful of himalayan.

We've decided on a Cryptids naming theme! 🐾 A few have names so far but we're still deciding.
I'll get caught up with more pictures over the next few days.
