Ballantyne Rattery

Ballantyne Rattery We take pride in regular health testing, proper nutrition and wellbeing of rats! Typically prices start between $25-$40 and can go upwards of $80/per rat.

Located in the heart of East Ballantyne(Charlotte, NC 28277), for 6 years our rattery has selectively and ethically bred for rats that have some of the best pet temperaments. Our prices are dependent on lineage/line(the longer a line has been worked with the higher the cost) and price can then go up slightly depending on coat color, coat type and ear type. We do offer deals when buying 3+ ratties!

(The More, The Merrier!)

Our prices are chosen to reflect time spent, money spent and care of our rats. We health test regularly and have been cleared of SDAV and RBF(Rat Bite Fever). Health testing is very expensive as is the upkeep of our rats. We give them the best of the best and put a lot of time into maintaining healthy lines and happy rats and our pricing reflects that! For the health, safety and overall wellbeing of our rats we ONLY adopt out in groups of 2 or greater. This means AT LEAST 2 or more rats must be adopted out at any 1 given time REGARDLESS of existing rats in the home or previous adoptions with us. A non-refundable deposit of half the total cost is due to hold any rats. By placing a deposit you agree to our terms, conditions and policies. By placing a deposit we guarantee the chosen rats and this ensures you a time slot for pickup. These include any statements made above as well as the following:

Any deposit is non-refundable unless I, the seller, have to cancel our appointment OR the rats are deemed to not be adoptable due to illness, injury or other health matters; whether that be genetic or disease related. If any of those occur, you are THEN subject to a refund for the full amount of deposit placed if you so choose. Anyone who schedules a pickup but then is a no-show automatically forfeits their rats and deposit. Please understand that once you place a deposit on any rats I am then telling others they are unavailable; thus forcing the rats to miss out on a potential home. I am very flexible and understanding of people and their various situations, so please reach out with any questions of concerns you may have. If for any reason you find yourself having to get rid of your rats they MUST come back to the rattery. This is non-negotiable and extremely important. No refund will be issued.

As of today all of our rats and lines have been successfully transferred to our friends MKT Reptiles & Rattery of Virginia and Sunny Savannah Rattery of Georgia!

We are so excited to have such good and reputable friends in the rat community to help us carry on our lines and very much look forward to the future of the Rattery!

A HUGE and special thanks to Rakel at MKT Reptiles & Rattery and Jacki Zirpolo of Sunny Savannah Rattery for opening up their homes to our mischief.

If you need or want any information for future adoptions, please feel free to reach out to myself, jacki or Rakel.

Happy Ratting! đŸ«¶đŸ»đŸ€

I have more rats to post.. but right now I’m focusing on getting the older guys and gals and some of my non-breeders adopted out.

So please take a look of the recent videos posted of rats in bins and message us if interested.

02/14/2024

Hello! Due to the time crunch to get these rats homed I will not have time to take to talk to everyone individually.

If you’re interested in taking some of our rats and have already done an Application(100% and in its entirety) please comment directly on the videos of the rats that have been posted letting me know your application is done and which ones you’re interested in.

I will then message you directly on how/if we can move forward. Thank you!

These are my tonkinese ladies. They are 6-8 months old at this point and I would like them to go in pairs or altogether.

02/14/2024

These girls are from my roan/marble line.

This set of ladies are to stay together and would only go to trusted breeders as I hope to get them back one day. Some temperament work does need to be done with them.

02/14/2024

This is some middle aged ladies that I did not plan to breed. They are all available.

2 black based
2 agoutis
1 hairless
1 Russian blue marten velveteen

02/14/2024

Here are 3 males I’d rather stay together. 2 tonkinese and 1 Russian blue velveteen.

Comment or message me if you’re interested.

Hello! Website should be up now and working as usual.

We are still aiming to have all rats adopted out by 02/24/2024, so please, if you’re interested.. Do not hesitate to reach out.

And PLEASE. READ the adoption application IN ITS ENTIRETY. DO NOT SKIP STEPS. If you skip steps or do not provide the proper information it will result in the system automatically denying the application. Unfortunately, I do not have time to go through the applications and explain the questions so it will be a one and done.

Thank you for your support!

Hi All! I realize there’s been some issues with the website not working..

What I will be doing is working on a printable/downloadable version of the adoption application along with asking individuals specific questions surrounding adoption.

Unfortunately there is a time crunch on this to get all my rats homes within the next 2-3 weeks, so PLEASE, if you or anybody you know wants rats please reach out here or on my personal page or even my Rattery instagram!

Thank you

For anyone interested in taking any of my rats/lines:

I will still be conducting and requiring proper adoption forms be done before you’re able to adopt so please be sure you’re getting those done through our website!

As sad as we are to make this post
 it looks like despite our best efforts we will be closing our Rattery doors.

We tried to pull every string we could to make it work, but it’s just not in the cards for us to keep going.

If anyone is interested in retirees or any of our lines to work with please just reach out!

Happy Ratting ❀
