8 days old 🤩

Looks like it’s our first rainbow litter! We have black, agouti, mink, cinnamon and black eyed white!

The babies are at the stage where their fur is sooooooo soft and peach-fuzzy.

These guys are such busy body’s already, so it’s gonna be hilarious once their eyes are open and they’re on the move

Aster is such a fantastic mum and she has been LOVING all the extra food she’s getting!

Look how beautiful the babies are today!

Sadly down to 10 babies, as the wee runty BEW passed away. Other than another runty BEW the other 9 in the litter are looking SO good.

I went grocery shopping today, so tonight Aster is getting eggy muffins with tuna, some chopped veggies and a little bit of my leftover dinner.

3 days old!

I can definitely see some cool markings now. Once they get to the peach fuzz stage, I’ll found out what the 3 mystery babies are. They’ll either be mink or cinnamon.

Unfortunately two of the BEW girls aren’t looking too great. However the 3rd girl is looking fab 🥰

Tonight Aster is having scrambled eggs, avocado, puha and some tortilla.

Aster is keeping her kiddos very well fed. The markings are becoming more visible.

There are 3 BEW in the litter, the ones that look slightly more yellow. It’s a strange gene in NZ, and typically they are a visibly different colour from their non-BEW littermates.

Aster & her 11 babies are doing so well. Aster is a very good mum and has an amazing temperament, even while nursing! Some mums can get into spicy protective mode, but not Aster.

So far it looks like 6 girls & 4 boys, and it looks like there might be some cool markings in the litter

Tonight Aster is getting a delicious meal of a chicken, some foraged greens (puha, dandelion and plantain), puffed baby treat, and a bit of a tortilla.

Woohooo we have babies 🥰🥰

Aster welcomed 11 little beans into the world today.

I’m soo excited to watch this litter grow 🥹🥹

Winnie’s rattery has some super cute ratties available at the moment. If you’re wanting some really lovely & friendly babies, definitely get in touch with them.

Auckland based adoptions only

Hello Hello! My loveliest girl, Lark (Winnie’s Lark), had a huge litter of fourteen babies on June 18th, fathered by my fluffiest boy, Cloud (House of Khan Cloud). Six of these babies are available for adoption, and they are all ready to move out from the weekend of August 16th.

Woohoo, welcome to the rat fam! These handsome boys arrived in welly & im so excited.

The black vari is from Scruffians Rattery and the fawn berk is from Misty's Mischief Rattery.

I haven’t thought of names yet! So they’re TBC!

Extra exciting because the fawn boys dad is Frank, the beautiful cinny hood boy from our F litter. We never had much luck pairing his bro Frodo, so it’s really nice to bring the genes back.

The black vari is new genes for us, which is important for genetic diversity.

Can’t wait to get them settled in with my older boys 🥰

Hi friends!

Im going through my waitlist at the moment, and will be starting afresh for those who joined mid 2024 onwards.

This is so that people who are no longer keen or have adopted rats already, don’t get unnecessary emails about our available rats

If you want to join (or rejoin) our waitlist, you can do so here:

We have 3 new girls joining the rattery next month and we’re SO excited 🥳🥳🥳

If all goes to plan, we may have some litters this August 🩷

I’ve updated my website to include our planned litters and will be keeping the page up to date.

Here is a sneak peek at the girls!
Of course I’ll do a professional photoshoot when they arrive 😂

We adopted the CUTEST pair of girls from a rescue a few weeks ago - meet Moth & Maggie.

They’re not part of our breeding plans, and are strictly pet only. But I thought I’d share them anyway 🩷
