Milliways Rattery

The current litter has eyes and splodgey bellies!
These guys are two weeks old today, and are RB and RBA (all carrying roan).
Unfortunately, the does for the Siamese line aren't looking pregnant, but we will try again and keep our fingers crossed 🤞

Much more of a Pets day at Banbury than Varieties!

Milliways Dyrim got best Marked (from two 🤣) but he also got a star ⭐, so I'm very happy with that.
Milliways Kibeth managed best Breeder owned doe ⭐, best Breeder owned pet, as well as Reserve Best Pet ⭐. Milliways Mosreal also won best Breeder owned buck ⭐, and 4th in the Supreme pet challenge ⭐.

Another lovely day out for us at NFRS May Hill show today!
It was a beautifully relaxed day, and the rats also seemed to enjoy themselves.
Milliways Himmel had only his second show outing and came away with Reserve Best in Show!
Milliways Europa did one better in pets and got Best Pet! She's just such a relaxed lady and definitely loved all the attention ❤️ And Milliways Saraneth got a cute little pink rosette as a Special for Best Nest... which he very much didn't want to get out of to be judged 🤣

I will try and get some photos of the actual rats later, but they were much more interested in their post show dinner than in posing for pictures 🐀

So very proud of my kittens today at the NFRS Theale Show. I took 6 kittens across both litters, so they were 9 and 11 weeks old. They behaved beautifully, and wowed the pet judge! We got the top 4 placings in breeder owned pet ❤️ They didn't quite make it into the top 4 overall, but it was close.
I am so happy that they took the whole thing in their stride and were very confident about everything 😀

Is anyone coming to the NFRS Theale show this weekend?
I'm judging varieties and it would be great to see people!

Wonderful Spike (Milliways William the Bloody) had a good day at work yesterday at Tendring Agricultural Show.
Best BPS, 2nd Shaded and two stars in varieties. Taking him to 14 stars in total.
He also got 4th overall pet, and two pet points making him a Silver Pet Champ as well as a Gold Variety Champ.
Such a good boy. ❤️

Another awesome show today at National Fancy Rat Society Harlow show.
Milliways Fern managed BIS again ⭐⭐ and Milliways Sushi won Best Pet!
It's always lovely to spend a day with my friends and such gorgeous rats!

*edit* just a trio now to re-home! The two roans and the agouti hooded*

These lovely boys really need a new home! There are five, but I am happy to split into a trio and a pair.
All about 12-18 months. Two Siamese are bred by me, the three others I have no knowledge of their background.
The hooded had an eye injury, it's all headed now but his eye is small. The Siamese has had an abscess which I thought was a ZGT, but it's healed 100% now
They are very gentle and engaging boys. No brainpower, but just adore people. They deserve a lot more attention than I can give them.
If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will send out an application form.

Rats did me proud today! ❤️
BIS, and best shaded with my new keeper kitten. I need to give her a name soon!
Spike got me stud buck again, and Halcyon Ash won best AOV (only out of two, but we won't tell her that!)

We will be at the National Fancy Rat Society Portsmouth show on Sunday.
Anyone else going to be there?

Lovely day out today at the National Fancy Rat Society Spring Cup Show!
Milliways William the Bloody (Spike) won best Shaded and Stud buck, earning him four stars and making him up to a Silver Championship.
Nobody else did particularly well, but we got some lovely pet critiques. Even if the pet judge didn't think much of their intelligence 🤣
