Djelibeybi Rattery

02/04/2025

We will be at the Midlands Rat Club show on Saturday, it would be lovely to see some pet-homed Djeli's there. Of course you don't have to show to come along, you can just attend and chat to fellow rat lovers and do some ratty shopping at our stalls

If you are interested in entering rats then you need to enter via the website before 8pm tonight

If you are a member then your AGM pack is on the way! If you are unable to attend the AGM which is on the 5th April at Weedon Bec Village Hall then you can send your postal votes back, using the envelope provided by the 2nd April. The show will be open to everyone as usual but the AGM will be restricted to members only. Don't forget to renew your membership if needed 🥰

The countdown is on to the next show and the committee are already working behind the scenes getting the show organised

Happy Mother's Day to Opi who is my only doe that is currently raising babies! She's about to get some baby free time whilst my 10 year old helps supervise some play pen time

7 of my girls are Mama's who have raised litters including Pippi who is Opi's mama so I think it's a tasty treat day all round 😁

When you were the only boy in the litter, but your mum is a superstar who's raising 8 Foster babies so you have 4 brothers to snuggle with 😍

The photos my husband sent me this morning 😆😆

Opi and all 13 babies are doing well, they're turning into mini rats now, climbing and starting to eat dry mix and their yummy extras

I pay Opi a treat tax whenever I get the babies out for a cuddle session, she's doing an amazing job and I tell her so multiple times a day. She'd rather have a treat than be complimented though 😆

6 years today since the first Djeli litter entered the world!

Some rubbish photos of Opi's 5 plus the foster babies from Goedric's Hollow, as you can see they just squirm around and pile back up now 😆

Good morning from Opi and
13 1 week old babies 🥰

She's doing so well raising her 5 and the 8 babies from Goedric's Hollow, we still have some smaller babies but Charlotte and I are very pleased with how things are going 💓

On Tuesday Opi gave birth to 6 babies with 5 survivors, 4 does and 1 buck. They had good milk bands and Opi was quite happily mothering them. On Wednesday they were joined by 8 babies from Goedric's Hollow , Char Lotte-g and I have been keeping our fingers and toes crossed that Opi would foster the babies and have enough milk to feed everyone

It's still early days but we're now hopeful enough to share as all 13 babies are still with us! 🎉 I've been lucky enough not to be in this position before but sometimes even pairing multiple does to have in house back up just doesn't work out so I'm glad that I was able to help and know that Charlotte would do the same for me if needed. 🥰

I’ve got a trio of girls looking for a new home, these girls will be ready to collect from the 15th March. They are an agouti, agouti rex and a Russian blue agouti doe. If anyone is interested please let me know, allocation of these lovely girls will be subject to an application process and pictures of your set up.

Some, mostly not in focus, pics of me trying not to lose a finger whilst giving out pancakes to the rats 😆

Did you have pancakes today? Did your rats?

I have been catching up with rat admin today, if you have messaged me about application forms and joining the waiting list and I haven't sent anything over can you please bump your message because I have missed you 😶

Pic of the boys pretending their lives suck because they're in intros with Antiphon and Autocue for FB tax

Exciting times here at Djelibeybi! Following Resonata's Best Opposite Age win at Saturday's show, and combined with Czol's Reserve Best in Show win from April 2024 I have now qualified for my stud name! 🥳🥳🥳

I still can't quite believe I've done it! I'm so proud of my rats 🥰

Xeno is unimpressed with the intros cage and keeps staring at me, Endos thinks it's a good opportunity to have a nap 😆😆

I'm excited to see how the group dynamic changes by adding the boy babies 🥰

Just made it here in time to wish a happy birthday to Urika's litter, then I realised there were two babies and one of them is Este ( Pedestriana) 🤣 happy birthday to her and her sister !
