This is Kiki. Kiki is in search of a home that is free of young children. She does well with some dogs but prefers her personal space. Kiki is a 3 year old cat. She does well with other cats and older children. ❤️

Have you ever seen something so adorable!?!?

I know we are not super active right now as we are on hiatus.

But 800 of you are following ICR.

I cannot begin to explain how much it means to have so many wonderful people so interested in pet rats.

Thank you for being interested. Thank you for supporting our dreams. And thank you for being such a wonderful following.

Don't forget to send update photos once in a while! They mean the world to me! ❤️💙❤️💙

We finally have Gucci baby pictures!!! Look at them! 😭
We only have five this time around two girls and one boy sadly this means there is only one female available who will need to go with at least one other adult female (preferably Guucci her mother)

These three retired ladies are looking for a forever home together! All around the 1 year mark and sweet as can be. ❤️💙💚

It's not easy to post this for a second time in our 8 year adventure. But we will once again be closing. I never imagined that owning a rattery was something I would have to one day end for good. It was my goal to be one of those breeders who was known by many as an ethical and great place to go to for well bred rats. It was my goal to do this until I physically could not anymore. We have one very last litter to home and that that will be the end of Ivory chapel Rattery.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who messaged or commented or just checked in randomly throughout the years. Those interactions meant more to me than I can put into words and I appreciated them so very much.

My main reasoning is space. I have a family of four and a three bedroom home. Financially we just don't have the ability to get a shed spec'd out to hold the rattery and we need the third room. If we could get that I would love love love to continue but it's sadly not an option for me currently. (But possibly in a few years)

If you are looking for older females or males please shoot me a PM as we have lots available that will be needing pet homes and I will post them all by this weekend.

Once the rats are gone I have two critter nations and a rat rack I will also be selling as well as bottles, hours, homemade bins, etc.

I will also be keeping the page up but marked as temporarily closed. Maybe in a few years I can spec a shed and begin breeding again.

However,

Thank again for all of the love, support, and friendship you have given me throughout the years. I cannot put into words how much you have all helped me through difficult times.

It was also amazing to see how the community of rat lovers could get together and just be good people. 💙

****I will CONTINUE to be active here and I will stay in the Florida rat breeders group I created so that you can always come here to post updates and ask and questions as well as have help finding ethical breeders if you are wanting that help ****

This is our Harley satin Silvermane line.
Send us a message if you are interested in babies 🥰
UPDATE
Babies did not make it this time around. Momma had a hard time with the contractions and was so tired by the time it came time to push that she had stuck pups.
Momma is recovering and seems to be doing great but rats can be finicky so we will be keeping a close eye on her.

Hello all! Quick update! We had some issues with the last two litters and will not be pet homing them. Tempernent was not up to standards so those two lines will need more work before we begin pet homing again.
Also life has been BUSY with two kids starting school, working full time, and making sure an entire rattery of 60+ is fed and cleaned regularly I have been seriously neglecting my messages. I do apologize to everyone still waiting for a message back. I promise once I start breeding my better lines again I will be messaging everyone to see who all is still interested. 💙

I appreciate your understanding and I hope you all stay safe.

We're halfway to 1k! Please give us a like, follow, and share 🥰

Did you know that Siamese and marten need to have the c-locus gene to show? They are recessive genes also! So if you have Siamese you have c-locus, if you have marten, you have c-locus, but just because you have one does not mean that you have the other.

And we have adoptable babies again! Send us a message if you're interested in any of these beans. We cannot guarantee any specific rat until after we pick our keepers. 🥰

Pawtners!

We have about 6 people waiting for a response back on the adoption application! I will get to you ASAP life's just been busy with work. I was supposed to get available pictures this last weekend and just did not have the time. I promise I'm working on getting everything together to get back to you and I appreciate you're patience in this stressful time. 🥰

Appleton is getting some of the last kisses in that he can.

Born 10/01/2020 he's in his last stages of life and is scheduled to be put down later today.

Over the last few weeks he began losing hair on his back and becoming scabby, nothing I've done has helped. Yesterday I noticed his sides seemed shrunken in and today he's having a lot of breathing issues.

Appleton is the first rat I've kept into old age. I always pet home them out to preserve space for new babies and give them the best quality of life that I can. He however proved to be the best temperament nanny for all of our grow out boys, thus earning him a forever spot in the rattery.

A huge shout-out to Fanatic Rattery For always producing the top tier babies that all pet breeders strive for. If you're in the Indiana or Ohio area I couldn't recommend this breeder more. All of their rats have been excellent and have helped create two of our lines here at ICR

Appleton will be highly missed. 💙

Pawtners!

Our goal right now is to get our page to 1k likes! We're going to start making more posts that are both pet AND breeder friendly with educational tidbits and factual statements!

What's something you wish you knew before you started owning rats?

04/14/2022

We have some very upsetting news.

Our agouti velv/rex line has been found to have brain tumors. The previous breeder noticed the issues on her side and one of the boys I homed out to the same breeder recently became extremely aggressive due to said tumor. We are going to halt pet homing that line for the time being and will only be pet homing them to owners who are aware of the condition and willing to help and work with us.

(I will be reaching out to the few that have pets from this line within the week to inform you of the possibility of this tumor.) (I still have the foundation doe and buck from this line and they are doing amazing in their old age with no signs of tumors.)

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us here at ICR and in doing so helping us to continue on this amazing breeding path that we love so much. You're all so appreciated!
