I am closing my waiting list for now. I’ve not had much success with litters recently, and am undecided on my future plans and way forward. I already have quite a few people waiting, so I think the best plan in to close thw list for now. I’ll figure out how to update my message auto reply!

***** no more e-mails please, I have a few I will read through and place them in the most appropriate home *****

2 Tonkinese agouti does available 🥰

I have reached out to those wanting does from my January litters and either not had a reply or they aren’t in a position to take on rats atm.

That means I have two 11 week old Tonkinese does available for a loving home.

This line are more “rat rats” then cuddly rats, they are fun and interactive but might not be the most calm rats in the world. Not aggressive in the slightest but not human orientated.

As this is a new variety I am looking for a specific home.
- experienced rat owner
- preferably active in the fancy and goes to NFRS shows.
- can keep in good contact about the health and wellbeing of them throughout their lives as they are a new line and variety I want to keep tabs 🙂
- Be looking and ready to collect rats as soon as possible as they are allready 11 weeks and I would love them to go to there forever home.

If you think you can fit the bill please e-Mail to [email protected] with the following.

- A photo of you set up.
- Details of your care including food/bedding etc
- Tell me a little about yourself, your experience and the rats you have. (I love rat pics so feel free to include them)
- Any questions you have for me.

Looking forward to hearing from you 💖

Please note this is for these rats only and not for future litters. I don’t usually keep hold of details or run a waiting list.

This once tiny beast (photo as a kitten) , Galactic Knoblauch owned by the lovely Kate of Rattray Stud did me proud wining reserve best in show at the NFRS Christmas cup show.

Just an update of my breeding plans for those looking for rats.

- I still have black does available who are ready to go to there new homes. See previous post for details.

- I have one younger litter from my marten line who will be ready for homes in January. Those looking for homes will be all black top ear. I am not ready to arrange homes for them quite yet. But I actually have mostly bucks which I’m sure is good news to many waiting 🙂

- I have paired up my Tonkinese litters, all going well if. I have any rats available for homes this will be early March they will be looking for homes.

After this I will have a few months break from breeding as I let my current kittens grow o n (I have had rat babies in my house non stop since June last year 🤯)

Thank you for an amazing year, I hope everyone who gave added Galactic rats to there family this year is enjoying them.

Post your photos below 💖 I need to try and get my group back up and running.

Our initial fundraiser for this rescue has concluded and we have had to change platforms due to hidden fees. At present 47 adult domesticated rats have been caught, found dumped in a rural area in Somerset. This has been an enormous undertaking for a small group of volunteers. When we first started....

We had a fantastic weekend at the London Champs. The Rattray rats kicked ass on Pets day. Best Pet for a 3rd year in a row! I think my rats are the best, of course, but it’s so amazing when someone else thinks so too. 7 out of 8 Breeder Owned Buck and Doe places, all 4 Breeder Owned places, and 2 of the 4 in the Supreme Challenge. 51 rats entered overall, and huge Breeder Owned classes, so plenty of competition. Plus a special for Crewe for ‘Halfway There Rat’, for having half a tail!

Strat - 4th Breeder Owned Buck
Wahnsinn - 2nd Breeder Owned Buck
Wolf - 1st Breeder Owned Buck, 3rd Breeder Owned Pet

Tuesday - 4th Breeder Owned Doe
Eriksen - 3rd Breeder Owned Doe, 4th Breeder Owned Pet
Curve - 2nd Breeder Owned Doe, 2nd Breeder Owned Pet, 3rd Supreme Pet Challenge ***
Petrichor - 1st Breeder Owned Doe, 1st Breeder Owned Pet, Best Pet, ****

Varieties day was successful too.

Rattray Sieben - 1st RBA adult, 1st Russian adult challenge, 1st Russian all ages challenge, ***
Galactic Knoblauch - 1st marten adult, 1st Shaded adult, 2st Shaded all ages, ***

Both were up there for the supreme challenge and K was almost 4th but Gem changed her mind last minute. So stressful, especially as she booted K then brought her back then booted her again!

Sieben now has 8 stars, but needs another adult win to validate her championship claim.

Had a fab day out at the NFRS Tempsford show yesterday, despite being unwell. Pain and fatigue levels when I got back last night were unreal, so didn’t have the energy to post then. However, I’m really pleased with Sieben’s results again:
1st RBA kitten
1st Russian kitten
1st Russian challenge AA (out of 10)
3rd Supreme Challenge (out of 121 rats!!!)
BOA

And 3 stars, taking her to a total of 5, at only 10 weeks old. Here she is with her rosettes from both Tempsford and Scawsby.

Yesterday I was at the National Fancy Rat Society AGM and picked up championship certificates for Kuss (silver Pet), Beat and Ruby (both silver Varieties). My wonderful girls.

Rattray Gibt Mir Benzin - RB buck (German for give me petrol)

Please note that this listing is not legitimate. I have not consented for being included in this directory, and have contacted them to have it removed. It looks like some kind of bot is adding pages, as many of my friends have had their ratteries added without consent too.

The baby pics came up on my memories today, from 10 years ago - Ben with his first rat, Rattray Action Man aka Ken. I showed his mum and she sent me the third pic, him today with Rattray Snuffy. A decade of blues for Ben! (Posted with permission)
