Cage cleaning is hard when no one is afraid of the vacuum so you keep sucking up babies who then clog the hose 😅

Vaginal atresia is a congenital condition where the lower portion of the va**na fails to properly form, and this seems to be a condition affecting several of Lily's precious girls.

The vet we've spoken with believes that there is a low chance for any of these babies to experience complications since they're all doing well at this age, and states most rats with this condition live a perfectly normal life.

That said there is increased risk with these girls for health concerns during their lifetime. We realized this issue only a couple of days ago and immediately reached out to the families that had reserved them, as we are always transparent about the health of our rats. One family chose to keep their reservations, the other opted to wait for a different litter.

We are making 4 of these lovely ladies available to a forever pet home, including the two we had planned to hold back for ourselves. This is a heartbreaking decision that has taken time to come to terms with, but is the right move for the long term goals of the rattery. Despite how nice these babies are, we must find another route to amazing temperments that does not cause any increased health concerns during the rat's life.

We do intend to pair Lily again to a different buck in hopes of an unaffected litter. We will have to work carefully with her descendents to minimize the risk of another litter with this condition. Depending on how successful we are able, her line may be able to be continued or there is the possibility it will have to end and we will have to focus our attentions elsewhere. Time will tell.

Edit: Reserved! They've found their real forever home and are leaving tomorrow 😊

These beautiful boys had a home lined up but when pickup time came they were forgotten 😢 They've been on hold for over a week so this no show is devastating, as it's lost time in finding a home that actually wants them.

Is anyone else interested in these lovely young bucks?

This litter hasn't seen any screen time with all the other babies we've been busy with, but fear not they have not been forgotten and they do not disappoint! Eyes have just opened so they're going to become pests to mama real soon now 🥰

10 girls and only 4 boys! It's been a hot minute since we've seen a female-heavy litter, especially one this skewed. We're very excited especially since both parents are so sweet.

Who's excited 🤩

Dwarf and hairless are both possible! This will be our final litter for a while until at least most of the current babies are placed.
