This is the kind of lovely message that makes me proud to be breeding. I select from the easiest, happiest, healthiest rats I have, then raise them with twice daily play time with me and lots of toys, clean their cages so they are always dry and warm, and provide the best food I can muster.

It's a lot of work even if it is also fun, and It is awful saying goodbye to the babies, but my pet homes are ACE and you give "my" babies the best homes. It makes everything worth it for me.

Shout out to thank people who've messaged me this week saying they hear such good things about my rats (where? I never read these things!). I don't claim my rats are always angels but I do try to breed the sweetest of the bunch, even if that means compromising on other things (appearance) which matters less. I will continue to strive for excellence in their care, though I have to admit I may not breed as often as you like in 2025! Please forgive me, but the rats in front of me ALWAYS come first, and that may mean fewer litters!

There was a chat today on the NFRS forum about rat food. I feed mine a lot of fresh food, cook for them sometimes, and always make up special menus for the babies. I think it is part of what makes keeping rats fun. So, today, I happened to offer one if my rats a choice of anything in a large mixed bowl of food. This is a big, handsome buck in perfect condition. Surely, he would be excited by the prospect of first choice of newly made up mix?…well, no 😅
