As many of you know, I'm currently taking a break from breeding. I'll still be sharing rat posts on this account, and of course keeping in contact with my wonderful adopters.

Ratbags Rattery in Christchurch has taken on several of my rats to continue their fantastic lines, especially the line that originated with Buddy/Willem x Luna (Piccolo, Tama, Ana, etc.)
I'm still absolutely happy to answer anyones rat questions, or help people find breeders in Aotearoa.

A friendly reminder to you all that it is pancake rat season in Queensland (and the Southern Hemisphere) so let's share some ideas on keeping our young and beloved ratties cool !

We will go first:
- Frozen tins wrapped in cloth (to protect little tongues)
- Tiles left in the freezer overnight as a cool place to rest.
- Cooling trays (pictured) suspended from the roof (bonus points as it provides balance enrichment)
- Clean single layer hammocks to rest on.
- Ice cubes in a tray with a little water to play with/in.
- pea/frozen food fishing

What else do you do?

Remember! If you have aircon or fans in place, don't blow them directly on the cage, the ratties need ways to get out of direct wind for respiratory health.

Kia ora all,

I've made the hard decision to leave Dunedin at the end of the year to pursue a BVSc. As a result, I'm going to be significantly downsizing my rattery and I will not be doing my litter with Dandelion at this stage. I'm still planning on breeding after I move.

I'll have two pairs of females and two pairs of males available. They range in age from 8 months to 18 months. Please PM me for more information.

I'm also selling a few of my cages - three strong rat cages and one larger cage. Please message for more information on those as well. (picture is just for attention on this post, these rats aren't for sale).

TRIGGER WARNING - graphic description of a rat choking but ultimately being fine
I just wanted to make a quick reminder that peanut butter in general isn't safe for rats, and shouldn't be fed. If you're going to feed them peanut butter, make sure it's spread super thin and they can't get a big mouthful of it.
When I got my first rats, Potato and Martin, Martin managed to get a massive mouthful of peanut butter off my toast (it was spread thick, don't judge).
He very quickly started choking. Rats can't throw up, so it was just empty gagging. Ears back, eyes bulging. It was pure luck that I was within arms reach of some qtips and I was able to scrape it out of his mouth.
They'll love it to bits and try super hard to get it, but it's just not safe for them.

I'm so over the moon with this litter, and Khione is being such a good, tolerant, mama.

Khione’s six gorgeous bubs!!

Khione’s litter is unfortunately down to six babies, but they’re all big and healthy. Both litters have some light fuzz now!!
