The girls top double of the quad is all set up. This has been set up as an activity space with lots of climbing and toys. The girls are obsessed with the little globes so we added several of them.

They are super excited to have the full quad to run in. Hopefully the babies won't be bored and destroying everything the first night. :-)

Big boys are moving into the double today! The cage is a side by side double using the shelf space. I have
Length 72 in, Width 24in, Height 33 3/4. This is large enough for 13-16 males.

We added more under ground options with several exits. They have lots of hides, hammocks, and chews. Focus for the boys is to offer enough hides and spaces for them to sleep individually if they choose to. The wheel is 16 in x 4 in.

We have 12 boys, 4 are available for adoption!!
The boys are all 1-2+ years and are just lazy boys.

We got the girls bottom cage gutted and scrubbed down. We added a bunch of Halloween fun! A few new baskets we are going to give a try. Lots of chew toys and hides to keep the girls busy.

Crowley says hi everyone!

We decided to move some adoption boys to the big boy cage so they have more room. Intros and a single cage while they adjust to each other.

Nothing fancy on the set up just LOTS of hides and chews so everyone has choices!

Dwarf boys gut and scrub down. They are so happy to be back in their Mickey Mouse Club House!

Full gut and scrub down of the big boys cage. Jack loves the new Jack Skeleton hide.

Ratatouille has missed his mama time.

Just a quick update! I am currently back in Kentucky but still have a lot going on with the family. I will do my best to get everything caught up while handling everything else with the help of our volunteers. Thank you for your patience.

Coming up we will have several cages for sale!! We have many rescue rats in need of homes. As always we are looking for more fosters. Please let us know if you are interested.

09/19/2024

We currently have 12 female rescues in need of homes!

All are from the same mom and dad, two separate litters. They were born in June/July 2024, so they are just a few months old.

They are all pretty friendly, sweet, and curious.

09/02/2024

We still have lots of younger rescue ratties that need homes!! Right now we have 9 boys and 12 girls in foster care.

These are the boys. They all have posts with photos on our page that were taken when they were younger, and they have grown up some now!

We want to adopt them in at least pairs to make sure they have a comfortable friend to be with them while they transition to a new home.

They are all sweet but still a little shy. This video is from today, having some snacks outside the cage.

We have two older boys (6-8 months) that are very shy and need someone patient to take them. They are shy but never have acted mean.

Send us a message if you are interested or if you have any questions about these adorable boys!

Do to a death in the family we will be closing the rattery until further notice while affairs are being handled.

We will still be working to place current rats in homes for adoptions. All meets will go through out volunteers and their personal schedules.

We have approximately 40 rats that are in need of placements.

LOL house. Used in the rat playground. The house is in good condition. Has been modified to cover the wood for easy clean up.

Pool area is great for veggie fishing and other snacks.

We have 3 houses and don't need this one anymore since we got the larger house.

We are asking $20 for the house. Proceeds will go to the care of the rats. Shoot us a message if you are interested in a play house for your babies!

Hey all! We are finally back in Kentucky. I do have a series of appointments and surgeries over the next few weeks. We are going to be working on contacting for adoptions. Our volunteers will be helping with contact and meets. Please be patient as we work through this crazy. Enjoy our Gambit cuddles.

We want to get an update out there for everyone. We have had a lot of personal issues to handle as well as a trip needed to help family coming up. We have 4 litters plus 2 of our volunteers rescued a litter and mama turned out to be pregnant with a 2nd litter in both cases. We have soooo many babies needing homes. We will be contacting waitlist adoptions first. Please get an application in if you are interested adopting.
