Tails of Tuppence Rattery

05/10/2024

Hi Everyone,

We currently aren’t breeding. I have had quite a few people send through adoption applications.

Full time work and teenagers going off to Uni means life is too busy to care for mums and babies.

In saying that I have 4 adult females who I would love to find a home for. They just aren’t getting the attention and out of cage time they deserve.

Daisy is a mink Irish and is 2.5yrs old, will always come to the door for love and scratches

Enid, Elise and Eda are all sisters 1yr 7 months and lively wee girls who like to trick you in to thinking they want scratches and will come to the door and just when you think they’re gonna stay put they’ll run away laughing.

They are all lovely happy girls.

I will send them off with a fully made up strong rat cage, some new hammocks, food and whatever else I think they’d like.

No adoption fee just a home that can give them more time than we can at the moment and let them live out their old age being spoilt.

PM me if you are interested

We have had some people change their minds about adopting rats (and that’s totally ok 🙂)

Sooooo if anyone is after babies I have 3 boys and 2 girls looking for homes. They are ready to go to their new families this weekend.

Please send me a message if you are interested 🙂

We have 3 boys and 2 pairs of girls looking for homes and who will be ready to leave next weekend.

Parents are Cotton (Tails of Tuppence) and Interstellars Finn (from Scruffians)

Babies are black berks, Irish and some slight vari.

Blurry belly shots, snuggle pile and a close up of a cutie bum for attention.

We have sent out an email so if youve been waiting to hear from us check you inbox or spam.

We are all sick in this house so updates have not been top priority.

But today was separation day so Hugo and Leo moved in with the boys to teach them all things rat for the next few weeks until they go to their new homes.

Here’s a photo of Hugo hard at work, teaching the important things.

Babies are 23 days old now.

Everyone moved to a bigger cage with new things to explore. All babies are trying new foods and drinking from the water bottles -which I think is adorable to watch.

Cotton is enjoying having a choice of hammocks to lounge around in but there is no escape from her babies they find her everywhere 🙂

Everyone will get names and seperate photos taken this week, so keep and eye out for cute belly shots and E names 🙂

Girls took the photos tonight while snuggling and protecting their toes from tiny teeth 🤣

14 days old and everyone has their eyes open and they are deliciously soft and adorable.

Cotton is a fantastic mama but is possibly regretting 14 kids now that they are exploring the cage and can see where she’s hiding. She will be so happy when they get moved to a bigger cage and she can have a hammock to hide in…..until the little furballs realise they can climb. I think she will get maybe 2 days of peace if she’s lucky.

Perfection. 12 days old

Some of these babies are super explorers. They’re not afraid to leave the igloo and blindly walk around the cage. One of them can run really fast too 🤣

10 days old
This morning I popped some food in Cotton’s cage. She was feeding in the igloo and was obviously ravenous because she flew out that igloo so fast, her babies were yeeted all over the place 🤣

9 days old.

We have Hippos.

15/01/2023

8 days old!
I thought I’d show off the cute wee Irish bellies some of the bubs have got going on.
Everyone is very well fed and happy including Cotton. She’s being a fantastic mum. No fuss, no aggression just her normal lovely cuddle wanting self.

Missed yesterday’s pic but look at these babies today! 1 whole week old. They are just starting to get fur and I can see belly markings.

4 days old! Look at these chonky healthy bubs 😍 Cotton is doing an amazing job keeping this lot fed.
She’s doing great too. Hungry happy and always up for some love. She doesn’t fuss when I check babies and does a quick check when they are popped back in the cage then comes out for her cuddles. ❤️

Over the last month we have had to say goodbye to our lovely Girl Tuppence who our Rattery was named for.

Tuppence was one of our first girls along with her sister Vera. She had our first Tails of Tuppence litter- 4 absolutely adorable chonky babies with our beautiful boy Mowgli. Artemis and Armadillo are both lovely big boys so we are very happy to have them here and hopefully have Tuppences loveliness passed down in the future

Today we said goodbye to our last original boy Bear. Bear produced many babies at 4 ratteries in Wellington and now has his offspring in Auckland and Christchurch ratteries. He was about 3 weeks away from turning 3. He had a great life. He was our baby boy minder when bubs we’re seperated from mums and their sisters. Him and Mowgli were perfect teachers.

Bear will be very missed but we have both sons and daughters here to carry on his line. One being Cotton who has just had a litter so we are spoiled with his wonderful genes everywhere.

RIP to the two rattos that helped us start up our Rattery. ❤️
