Gemstone Stud

I am back from my holidays and slowly catching up over the next couple of days. Please bear with me if you’re waiting on a reply.

13/07/2024

I have almost placed all of the current litter but due to many of the people waiting on my list going away and wanting to wait, these gorgeous girls will now be available again. They will likely be ready to leave from the week beginning the 22nd. If you are interested send me a message.

These guys are growing fast and nearly ready to split into buck and doe cages. There is a wait for does still but there could well be bucks available.

29/06/2024

Nearly all of the babies have gone now from our grown up litter. These guys have now moved out into a bigger cage so that they can explore. Mum also gets more space to escape them when she needs a break.

I have emailed those on the list lucky enough to be offered kittens this time around however I have not had responses from a few people. If this is you do get in touch in the next couple of days, otherwise I’ll have to offer them to others.

I will be emailing the rest of the waiting list regardless in the next couple of days with plans and updates,

Little ones! Another litter of 11 which seems to be popular here of late. And the black kittens. Sadly forgot to get the essex litter as I got distracted cuddling with them.

02/06/2024

Busy day cleaning out and putting the baby boys together. I’ll send out emails to the list soon. Two more does in birthing cages as they look imminently about to burst. 🤞

Growing fast and causing all kinds of mischief..

Little black/ silken babies

19/05/2024

Little ones with eyes…and black ones are almost ready to open theirs

15/05/2024

Look at these shiny cuties!

12/05/2024

I have a few people on my waiting list that haven’t replied to any emails since (at least) Jan.

If you would still like to be considered for kittens let me know otherwise I’ll update the list accordingly as there are lots waiting but I also have lots of kittens here currently so hopefully not waiting for long.

If you think you should have had an update email let me know.

The youngest litter 🙂

Some of the other residents, (the ducklings temporarily) out and about this weekend..

04/05/2024

The older litter are growing on nicely although all the does and bucks are the same 😂
The middle litter is gaining a little colour. We still have 14 (after I found one a little cold in a separate nest) and then had another little born yesterday evening. It’s about to get busy here!

28/04/2024

Thanks to all those who’ve returned forms. I’m a little busy and will get to looking through and updating the waiting list this week. I had intended to do it after the show in Swinford today but I came home to these little beans and got distracted with other things. 15 born this afternoon.

21/04/2024

New little ones :)

I’ve emailed those who are lucky enough to be taking home some of these gorgeous little lot. We also had a gorgeous litter born here on Tuesday. All 9 are healthy and active.

24/03/2024

I judged varieties at the NFRS Tempsford show yesterday. Lots of wonderful rats on the bench and some great winners. I also entered a couple in pets and was thrilled to get best pet with Gemstone Sasha. She’s a star!

24/03/2024

These guys are adorable. A few were born that have some neurological / eye issues mean that we won’t be continuing with these guys in our breeding plans. We will need to assess the quality of life of our special needs guys but the rest of the litter are healthy and active. They are sweet and confident so I have every confidence that they’ll make wonderful pets.

Russian buff from our last litter. Can’t get the lighting quite right here but she’s looking good. Takes after her dad Leo.

16/03/2024

Upgraded cage size now they are leaving the nest. Mum needs the space to escape them for a little while.

09/03/2024
