Rem’s Rattery - SW Michigan

Rem's Rattery is currently revamping and will not have available rats for an undefined amount of time It is at CRL that I fell in love with rats.
(20)

I first started my rat journey when I started working for Charles River Labs. While at CRL, I worked in the necropsy lab for 2 months and Clinical Pathology for 1 year. I remember seeing a drawing one of the artists employed by CRL created and hung up near the cafeteria. That's when I decided that one day I would own pet rats. Never in a million years did I think my journey would come this far! Ne

edless to say, I quickly became obsessed with my pet rats and decided to look into, and eventually begin, my breeding program. I have learned so much and continue to every day. I am grateful that I started this journey with the knowledge of rat anatomy and how certain criteria will effect a rat. I hope to only improve the health and temperament of my rattery with every litter I produce so I can provide my audience with the great experience of owning pet rats and defeat the negative stigma surrounding the animal.

But why did she let them dangle like that 🤣💀

Misha is from one of our 3 project lines. She just gave birth today! Giving her more time before I do a baby count lol. I wanted to see if she was early birth or already done, as she looked a little pudgy still. At first glance, all babies look very clean and it appears she’s done giving birth.

Despite her letting the babies dangle to reach the pasta, she actually exhibited caring behavior by not running to eat it elsewhere, like she has EVERY other time I’ve given one to her lol. I saw her hesitate too 😂 so good signs!

Misha would like to remind everyone to feed your ratties a few pieces of veggie pasta 👀 it’s her favorite!

Cicada has little fuzzy *pants* 😁
At first there was consideration she could be hairless, though slim it is in the line from MANY gens ago, and after her molt was finished it became clear she is Double Rex! But overall, she’s a lil cutie patootie 😍

We will be a little quiet for the next 8 months or so while we work on the new lines. Updates on our process will be posted here and there, but it’ll be yet another month or so until we can start the pairings and get the ball rolling for progress. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to inquire about where we are at in the process, any rat related questions, or wanting to be pointed in the right direction! We love to chat 😄

Cloverfield Rattery has been just a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. In the past 2 years, I’ve worked with around 6+ breeders to try and get some good temperaments into my lines. Each time didn’t work out for one reason or another (positive tests for diseases, HA developing, not producing stable, consistent generations, etc) so due to how many rats I had fail, I eventually dwindled to have only a couple rats left from both my original standard and dwarf line. With additional reasons, I chose to end those lines and focus on starting anew. Unfortunately it just kept on not working out. I currently have 2 WIP lines due to temperament (extreme skittishness) and was seeking yet another breeder to try and work on improving these lines.

It was minutes upon stumbling onto Cloverfield’s page that I knew I had to invest. Since then, everything has been smooth sailing in all aspects. These rats have been THE BEST I’ve ever owned, and that includes those I had bred in the past. Their temperaments are flawless to near flawless, and overall health has a great history that continues to exhibit here. I am absolutely obsessed with the 3 males and 2 females 💕 I cannot WAIT for them to come of age to breed and get the ball rolling again! I’m really looking forward to providing my locals with such great babies. They are confident, playful, lovey, calm, friendly, squishy, attention seeking, kissy, and 0 skittishness present. I’ll be sending in their testing for zoonotic diseases and RBF within the next week now that they’ve had time to adjust. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to *finally* have what I’m looking for in rats after all this time being patient :’) just a great line that needs no work to it, who ultimately will help with my WIP lines.

Prayers that the test results come back with good news, though I am confident there is nothing to worry about (we shall see!).

Okay, admittedly I may be a *little* obsessed with Cicada, but how could I not?! Look how cute she is eating a cube of raw pie pumpkin 🥺

Moth and Cicada enjoying exploring the play pen for the first time 🥰 they were very curious but didn’t want to venture too far from me 💕

Cicada has started to look more like double Rex rather than hairless now that she’s not mid-molt and growing a little peach fuzz all over! They’re SO silly and playful!

It’s my birthday, and all I want is to spend it with these guys 😄 Oyster is super playful, Val is very cuddly and attention seeking, and the dwarf is still learning to be confident 💕 what a great trio!

Oyster and Val got some snuggles in on the way home 🥰

Moth and Cicada from Cloverfield Rattery! Moth is just the softest, squishiest rat one could ask for! Cicada has a unique coat to our rattery, welcoming a hairless variety. They both are sweet girls who are settling in very well 💕

Oyster and Valentino kisses 🥺 this group of rats really said “travel trauma, who??” 😁 they need like 0 decompression to settle in and start loving! We will still be giving them space for 24hrs for good measure. The dwarf boy still has some maturing to do, but he is also a sweetheart who has shown curiosity and a little courage to approach me with the other boys 💕

Cloverfield boys

We have some news…. Today we took in 2 females and 3 males from Cloverfield Rattery and are OBSESSED with them! I cannot express my gratitude enough with how sweet and easy it was to get transport from Mel’s Neighborhood • Transport Routes, ETAs, & More! More videos to come!
