At this point in time I will not have any rats ready to go to new homes for around 3-4 months minimum! I will not be pairing for any litters until after I move, settle in, and perform a precautionary 2-6 week quarantine. For their quarantine period, I will perform only a 2 week quarantine period UNLESS they show any signs of sickness. This does not include the typical 2-3 day period of "new home sneezes" that rats tend to get after moving to a new environment but if they show signs of sickness after that 2-3 day period I will lengthen my quarantine period to 6 weeks just to be safe. My main pairings I will be making after I move are:
-fawn/beige
-silvermane (black, agouti, RB agouti)
-variegated (RB agouti, black, mink, possibly fawn and beige)
-variegated rex and test breeding for double rex (RB agouti, black, mink, possibly fawn and beige)
-roan/husky (in black, agouti, and possibly RB agouti) with the possiblity for "false BEW"
-dragon eye (this litter will not be seeking homes as it will be my first generation of this line and I would like to establish and monitor it for at least 3 generations before finding them homes)
-siamese/Himalayan (will also be a first generation line and will not seek homes for at least 3 generations)
All of my current lines come in standard and Dumbo earred. I have no known dwarf, hairless, or albino genetics in my lines as of the time of this post (Feb 21, 2023) and have zero intentions or interest in producing any of the three in the years to come.
And lastly, I will be seeking AFRMA registration come June or July 2023 since at that point the majority of my lines will be established right at that time. I have been working very hard to ensure my animals are healthy, happy, and will live long healthy lives when they leave my home. My number one goal is to produce genetically sound animals who will make their families happy for as long as possible because I believe every animal should have a long, healthy, happy life.
If you have any questions or would like to get on my wait-list for any specific lines please feel free to DM me and we'll have chat!
**Please keep in mind I will not add you to my wait-list until after you have filled out my application and have been approved to be on my wait-list. For some lines, you may expect a wait of up to 2 years or more. I do NOT require any form of deposit until we are ready to arrange pick up. Payment may be accepted via PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp. Although I have accepted cash in the past, I will no longer be accepting cash payments that way I can better budget for my rattery. During my quarantine stage I will be putting TONS of work into editing my application, creating a contract, and setting up business accounts with PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp that way I can be more professional moving forward.
I appreciate you all for your support moving forward! We have lots in store for the coming months and I'm really excited to be making such a huge step in establishing myself as a reputable, ethical breeder!
**Side note, come June or September I expect my photo quality to improve by A LOT between investing into better equipment and teaching myself to use photo editing software. This is a HUGE learning curve for me but I think I'm learning pretty fast! So enjoy this adorable picture of my black roan girl, Ariel, doing a perfect pose for the camera 🥰💖
