We will have retirees 🐀 ready for rehoming in the coming months ❤️ if anyone would like a retiree or two to add to their current mischief*, please send us a message!

*(Edit)* If you do not currently own any rats, you will need to adopt at MINIMUM a couple (2) rats! We do not home out lone rats. Rats do best in trios or larger numbers.

Much love and well wishes from the Wonderland Mischief 🍄✨🌈

Let me just say - I love all people. I love each and every one of you equally. Regardless of who you voted for, that’s right I said it.

Your right to vote for whoever you chose is *YOUR RIGHT*, and I won’t ban you from my page or refuse your business.

My page is a business *NOT* backed by politics and it will stay that way. As an ADULT, you are taught to put your feelings aside regardless of difference in opinion, be mature and LOVE THY NEIGHBOR!! So, I LOVE YOU ALL. And you are still welcome here ❤️

*(Edit) With this said, DO NOT bring politics to my business page. You WILL be blocked immediately. This page stays CLEAN.
*(Edit 2) This does not minimize anyone’s rights and we believe everyone should have equal rights BUT the rattery page is not for political debates and YOU ARE SAFE HERE. I am NOT that breeder that will scream at you to get the F off my page because you don’t agree with me, nor will I cause you issues when trying to adopt rats. I was taught to be kind to EVERYONE and your political views do not have anything to do with your ability to care for your pets. THAT was the point in this post, not to hurt anyone or minimize the world’s problems. We are all just here for the animals.

“BUT MOM WE’RE INNOCENT WE SWEAR!!! It’s a setup 😭😭😭”

Charges include:

Shoving bedding onto the floor? Guilty 🚔

Throwing p**p all over? Guilty 🚔

Shoving our Kalmbach through the feeders onto the floor? GUILTY 🚔

Lock ‘em up, boys! And throw away the key 🔑 cause they will 100% DO IT AGAIN!!

(Also, before you come for me; the bins are TEMPORARILY holding them until their cages are fully cleaned 😵‍💫 leave me alone)

We’ve got so much coming up in the future guys, I’ve got plans on plans on plans! I’m so very excited. I can’t wait to share with you all ❤️

10/08/2024

Just so we’re all on the same page here, the rattery will not have any rats being adopted out for several months at the very least. I’ve gotten a couple messages about a waitlist for adoption and I will allow you to put your name in for a waitlist IF you want to do so, but be advised that there’s no set date on when we will be opening back up to the public and it will take time. I don’t want anyone waiting and getting upset because it doesn’t happen as quickly as they think.

If you’d still like to put your name down, please send the rattery page a message with your desired rat(s) and contact information, and when they become available I will contact you.

Sharing this big boy for attention cause I mean… look at him 😍

I now present to you, friends of the Wonderland Mischief, MKT Big Smoke! (aka Brick, I believe) 💙 One of our new, and very large, Velveteen boys 🙈 hims just the sweetest boy ever too.

10/06/2024

Alright, now that we’ve done a full intake break down, we’ve got about (give or take a few) 26 males and about 28-30+ females! ❤️ all not including the newly born beans, which we’ve got about 33 of those 🥰 we’re well on our way to starting up again.

I’d like to hear what everyone would like to see coming from us in the future! What are you most looking forward to and what kind of rat is your favorite? Do you like Dumbo ears, or Top ears? Do you like Hairless? Werewolves? Russian Blue? Mink? Velveteen? Silvermane? Let us know in the comments!! 👇🏻

We are BACK, baby! And better than ever 🤪 after some consideration and thought, my partner and I are thinking of reopening the rattery. I was initially hesitant and wanted to wait a bit, but what do our friends think? Should we start back up ASAP?

❔ ️Did you know...?

Cloverfield has officially been open for 10 years! 🎉 Although we took a small chunk of time away from breeding and the community for personal reasons a few years ago, we are so happy to be back and in this for the long haul!

I want to talk about lines. Genetics in particular. They can be a funny thing.

We can take the absolute squishiest two rats, put them together in hopes they produce even MORE squisher babies..But sometimes genetics don't work out that way.

You COULD get perfect squishy, kissy babies with incredible temperments that want absolutely nothing but to be with their human..And of course, this is the gold standard. What we strive for.
OR
You could get flighty, nippy babies that hate human interaction.

What you don't see behind the scenes is the sheer amount of effort, time and loss it takes us to produce the phenomenal babies you get to adopt.

Wether you are given a line from a breeder, or starting a new one from an outside source, it takes time and effort to turn it into something you are proud of. Something that is uniquely yours.

Even now, we are perfecting our lines. Its ALWAYS a work in progress. Either temperament or cosmetic. Could be too flighty, not the right ear placement, doesn't tuck nicely, too long of a snout. We have a strict 'no bite' policy.

As we add in new lines in 2024 and scrap some old ones, please keep in mind that you are adopting an ANIMAL. A living, breathing creature that is capable of feelings. Happiness, fear, sadness. While we do our best to produce the absolute squishiest babies, genetics are not always in our favor and some litters don't meet our standards.

That being said, we encourage our adopters to reach out to us with any issues they do encounter. We have helped our Cloverfield family introduce new rats to established mischiefs, helped with finding an appropriate veterinarian, even helped with external parasites and education around freezing bedding before use.

It's stated in my policy agreement, that we SEVERELY appreciate staying updated with Cloverfield rats, as it helps us in producing cleaner, more stable lines. We want to know if you experience any behavioral issues, any lumps or bumps.

Help us, help you. Without this crucial information, we are flying blinded. We do the best we can with the information we have available to us. The more information we have, the better job we can do.

Thankyou for trusting and choosing Cloverfield. I feel like 2024 is going to be a phenomenal year! Get ready for aome announcement posts coming VERY soon! 🤩

‼️🗣️ PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT 🗣️‼️

Our rattery is currently closed to the public and says so on our page! We will not be adopting out rats, and I am not answering messages. I don’t want anyone taking this personally or feeling as though they’re being ignored.

I have stated on our page multiple times that we are CLOSED and are not adopting out ANY animals whatsoever, please for the love of all things furry, pay attention to postings and stop repeatedly messaging asking for rats! If you are interested in rats in the future when our lines open back up, please submit the correct pre-approval form and send a message stating ONLY that you have submitted a pre-approval for review to be added to the wait list. Thank you kindly, the Wonderland Mischief ♥️

More beans in the rattery ♥️ loving all the baby love and looking forward to the next few weeks with these littles! Two more litters are not pictured, but we’re so excited to be working on our lines a little for the greater future of the rattery 🫶🏻 these babies will not be posted for homing, but please enjoy them as much as I do! 😍 such cuteness!

10/29/2023

While we don’t current have any rat babies brewing in the rattery just yet (I’ve been holding off 🫣 don’t hate me), we are working hard on growing our human baby ♥️

I’ve decided to push October pairings off until November. We will be temporarily closed to the public again until further notice, as we work on our lines a bit more and work on bringing our tiny human into the world! 🥰 This means we will not have any babies available for at least a few months, please do not ask about available rats and if you do, please do not get offended when you do not receive a reply from our rattery page right away. I will keep the waitlist open, and you’re more than welcome to join it. Our messages will stay open and we will still be available for any other questions or help needed.

We will be opening up to taking breeder pre-approvals/applications! We will not be working with other breeders just yet, as we have some work to do beforehand, but we would like to give other experienced breeders, new breeders, & even future breeders an opportunity to inquire about future plans and see what they would like to do in their ratteries. I am very excited and interested to see the feedback this post gets!

Just for the absolute sake of curiosity alone, are there any breeders out there interested in working with us (now or in the future) that are following our page?

Also, are there any future breeders or anyone interested in breeding that doesn’t know where to start and would enjoy the chance to work with myself and/or my partners in the future? ♥️

After some thought and due to having quite a few adopters backing out (some very last minute, others for good reason) we will now require a non-refundable deposit fee for reservations on rats. I will also no longer consider adopting out to anyone that is living in the home of another person (in an apartment, with roommates, student housing, with parents, etc) without the permission of that person. I will not review your pre-approval UNTIL you have approval from whomever is needed, or in the case of a rental agreement you must provide proof that you have permission to own caged pets in your lease. If you are unsure and your lease doesn’t cover this, ask and please acquire a letter stating you will not be breaching your rental agreement.

Previously I’d had conflicting thoughts on non-refundable deposit fees but I am now understanding why others have enforced them in their ratteries and will begin doing the same.
