❔ ️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! 🤩

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.

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.

We are currently working on revamping our entire breeding program so look out for an upcoming update post concerning new lines, names, pricing, and more! ♥️ thank you to everyone offering encouragement and support. This new update will not go into effect until the current litters are out! We have been heavily considering which direction we would like to go in moving forward and so we will be very selectively pairing as we obtain some new lines to work with as well as continuing to improve our current lines. Pricing backlash has been a huge concern of mine when trying to establish a pay scale for my rats, and after much consideration and time spent talking to my fellow breeders, I’ve decided that a better adjusted program and pay scale was needed. I cannot charge chump change for my rats and other services/products I offer out of fear that others will jump down my throat for pricing higher as a new breeder. It is not fair to my fellow breeders, the rats themselves, nor to my rattery. I can’t thank the breeders that have allowed me the opportunity to work with their lines enough, and with the work I know they have put into their lines as well as the work I will continue to put into them I truly believe that the pricing will be a reflection in of itself. Please also keep in mind that rarer and/or more problematic varieties such as Hairless, Werewolf, Harley, Dwarf, etc. will be priced higher.

We do not encourage negativity here, so if you have concerns with my pay scale please keep it to yourself! ♥️

I firmly believe this. Personally I absolutely love having other mouse & rat breeders near me and as long as they’re breeding ethically I always recommend them to others looking for something I may not have. As breeders we should be supporting one another…this is beneficial to us and our adopters 🩷
