We took advantage of Nugget coming into heat today to pair her with Soot,since she had passed the weight we require in our program to breed. This litter will be the second generation in our agouti based project line

Have you ever seen those posts in ratty groups where someone has a surprise litter and they say "I only ever let them out together closely supervised I don't know how this happened!"? Well this is what happened! It takes less than a second for mating to occur in rats,and someone who doesn't know how to spot lordosis would have no idea it even happened. Don't let opposite s*x rats have any contact whatsoever unless you are fully prepared and educated on raising a litter!
Lordosis is the swayback position a doe must take in order for ovulation and fertilization to occur.
The skittering around and vibrating behavior done by Nugget in this interaction is in heat behavior. Note that a doe does not need to be in heat in order for mating to occur.
(This is a small bare enclosure for pairing,NOT permanent housing)

Today Bean's boys were pulled from mom and sisters and put in with a same-s*x babysitter (Alder) to continue learning to "rat"!
None of this litter will be available to adopters,as we have decided to hold the litter back to select the best temperaments around 4-6 months to continue the line with. We apologize to those who were hoping for pups from it!

Hello everyone! We have heard reports of martens related to ours (rats from a different breeder- genetic continuals from before we began outcrossing to our black self line) showing unwanted hormonal behaviors. Can those who have gotten martens from us at any point in the past please shoot us an update on those kiddos when you get a free moment?
A sleepy baby for your viewing pleasure!

It should also work with other animals. (Also it's probably good to be friends with those animals first.)

Image description: A 4 panel black and white comic.
Panel 1: A drawing of Piper, a nonbinary person with short hair. They're wearing a t-shirt. Their arms are slumped in front of them and their mouth is drawn with a small frown, their eyes are slanted upwards. The text above their head says "How to cure sadness".
Panel 2: A hand reaches out and grabs a rat, the rat has big black eyes and has question marks around it's face, confused at being picked up. The text above says "Step one:". The text is continued underneath the hand grabbing the rat and says "Pick up rat"
Panel 3: Piper is holding the rat on their face. Their expression has changed, now they're smiling, and their eyes are closed. The text above says "Step 2:" and the text underneath says "Apply rat directly to face". In smaller text, the rat is saying "Hello parent"
Panel 4: Piper is now holding two rats on their face and their expression is very serene. The text above says "Repeat if necessary."
