Please read! This is important to know!

IMPORTANT PSA

Please be cautious, as there is evidence that the nasal Bordetella vaccine for dogs is contagious to rats!

I have been researching this for months and consulting vets and other breeders before making this post. This is what I believe and have seen evidence for, but draw the conclusions you are comfortable with and make the choices you wish.

There have been multiple instances where the intranasal Bordetella vaccine has been linked to Bordetella outbreaks in pet rats - situations where breeders and pet owners got their dog vaccinated and their rats came down with Bordetella shortly after. I feel this information should be shared so people can be aware that it may be a risk, and make decisions for themselves on how to handle it. The nasal Bordetella vaccine for dogs contains modified live bacteria and recently vaccinated dogs may be able to infect rats. Bordetella is very deadly in pet rats and it is a very serious health risk.

This is not meant to cause fear. Continue to vaccinate your dogs if you wish, continue to own dogs and rats. This is a cautionary post so people can make an informed decision for themselves on whether to separate dogs and rats shortly after vaccinating. If you do not believe the vaccine is a risk at all, that is totally fine - no one should shame you for your decisions and you can draw your own conclusions.

I didn't want to make this post too long and intimidating, so I've split off some info into the comments. In the comments you'll find a list of common questions and answers, as well as updates on how this is affecting my rattery and the updated timeline of my quarantine.

Hello everyone, sorry I haven’t gotten any pictures yet. By the time I get home from work I’m too exhausted but tomorrow is my day off so I will be getting pictures in the morning and working through my waitlist through out the day! Some exciting things from these litters. I believe I produced some dwarf babies🤞 , there’s some odd eyed boys and there’s some Harley boys that’ll be available.

10/12/2024

Here’s a sneak peak at the babies that’ll be available soon, all males, here’s just a few! Oh and check out the two odd eye boys! There should be some Harley’s available as well. Waiting to see if anyone turns out to be a dwarf till I open reservations in about two weeks.

On another note—if you’re looking for retired breeder males or females I held back but never bred, I have some currently available! Send me a message for more info! They are discounted!

Hello everyone, I’d like to give a little update. I’ve decided to continue breeding rats for now, but I’m not sure how long I’ll continue. I’m purely focusing on my Harley line that I’ve worked so hard on. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than it started. That being said, I will have Harley babies available to the public again! They’re only a week old so it’ll be awhile till they’re available, but reservations will start with my waitlist, and then they’ll be posted on the page. Some are potentially dwarf, so these are some exciting litters here at Blue Fuzz Rattery. Hopefully we get at least one dwarf, fingers crossed it’ll be a Harley too!

This handsome pair of baby boys will be ready to go home TOGETHER in about 4 1/2 weeks. I’m not positive yet but I believe they are Russian blue Siamese, I’ll know for sure in a few more weeks.

If you’re interested in taking these precious gentlemen home please make sure you’ve filled out an adoption application at some point and then shoot me a message about them! I’m in Bryan Ohio but can travel up to 45 minutes away for gas.

I had a litter born today. I’ve decided I’m going to breed very small scale, mainly for myself. I just couldn’t part with all of my lines. This litter hopefully contains Harley, Harley rex and fingers crossed for Harley dwarf rex, they’ll be Russian blue and Russian beige. I’m super excited, I’ve been waiting a long time for this litter. Will post updates as they grow! There will be plenty babies available.

Hello everyone, I’m sadly going to have to downsize the Rattery. It’s been getting overwhelming trying to have a personal life on top of all my pets, I’ll be working on one, MAYBE two lines and will have limited availability. But as for right now I have a few babies available and some older babies available! I’ll be getting pictures tomorrow hopefully.

04/08/2024

I took some pictures yesterday of my current babies!

03/31/2024

All my current breeder males, though in the next month I should be getting one more from another breeder(stay tuned), and I’ll probably also be keeping a male or two from my current litters!

Yesterday we welcomed four new rats to the Rattery! three girls and a boy. I’m already so in love with them, I love Burmese and Siamese rats! Thank you so much Spells of Mischief for these beautiful babies.
