Something really exciting has happened for MARs!!

For the many who do not know, I am a full-time Central Michigan University student on top of working at the pet store and running Mane Attraction from my home. I am an Entrepreneurship major, which has been an interesting pathway that has taught me a lot so far.

CMU just hosted a New Venture Challenge that one of my professors suggested we participate in. There were 50 something original entries, and 25 were picked to move onto the final round. I chose to pitch the idea of Mane Attraction as a brick-and-mortar pet store! I was tasked with presenting a 2 minute Elevator Pitch in front of a panel of judges and an audience, and then setting up a Gallery table with information about my venture, while judges came around and talked to us all individually and asked questions about the venture. I was awarded 2nd place in the Gallery portion, winning $1,500!

This has really spurred my passion for what I'm doing, and I'm hoping to make things even bigger and even better this next year!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and Mane Attraction over the past years!

Hi everyone! I think it's time for a life update.

I haven't been breeding rats for the last few months. I apologize to everyone whose messages have gone unopened. I started taking in lots of rescues, some rats bred by me but mostly rats not bred by me. Some families were moving, some families had children who lost interest, some families had other pets that clashed with the rats. Either way, I've become known as the crazy rat lady in my area and many people came to me seeking help. I quit breeding because it was too much to handle with all the newcomers, and it started becoming more of a job rather than something I was doing for fun. I still have lots and lots of rats, and I may have a litter or two here and there, but it's not something I will be doing consistently. If you messaged me and I didn't get back with you and you still need me, message me again and I'll respond!

On top of rats, I do have a bonded breeding pair of gerbils, and I've partnered with a friend on a rabbit breeding project, so there still will be some cute baby animals posted to this page.

But for now, I'm going through a little re-branding! I have been getting more and more into sewing hammocks and cage accessories, as fabric doesn't need to be fed and watered everyday 🤣 I will be changing the name of this page a little to reflect this change. I have hammocks for sale at Redbird if you're local to Alma, and I'm in the process of updating my Etsy shop with everything. You can also message this page with any questions or if you'd like to place a custom order.

Thank you to everyone who has followed me so far on this journey!! 2022 was a rocky year for a lot of us, hopefully 2023 brings some better changes.

Wish these girls good luck on their journey as they travel to their new home in New Jersey!! 🤩

I've started working with Hippity Hop Express, a small animal transporter! I've gotten animals from other breeders through her, and have now sent some of my own animals on their way with her! It's an exciting opportunity to expand where everyone can go.

10/20/2022

Long time, no post!

I'm excited to announce we have babies again! I haven't actively bred since May, but I have a litter of Harley rats ready to go in a couple weeks, and then some Silvermane, Siamese, and a few other varieties who will be ready in about 6 weeks. Some roan and dwarf litters to be expected soon as well. I'm so happy to have little faces around again!!

As always, please message me anytime with any questions or if you're looking for rats! And if you have messaged me and I've missed it or we haven't touched base in a bit, please feel free to send another message! Sometimes I just miss stuff or Facebook doesn't push the notification all the way to me

Loving this new little prop I got! ✨
And it's the perfect way to take photos of my dwarf girls!! All of these ladies are currently available 🥰

08/04/2022

Ladies looking for new homes!! 🥰

Please message the page with any questions!

07/02/2022

We have some boys looking for new homes!! 🥰

We are finally back home and back to selling rats independently! I do take a lot of my pictures at Redbird because the lighting is nice haha, and I like bringing rats with me because it allows me to spend more time with them, but just a reminder that I simply work at the pet store, I do not operate out of the store. I breed in my home on my own, I'm just lucky enough to have an outlet where I was able to sell some of my rats while we were at the hospital and out of the home for a while.

Pictured here: dumbo black with blaze, top ear velveteen with blaze, dumbo Siamese Harley, dumbo Siamese, dumbo blue point Siamese, dumbo dilute Russian dove, dumbo fawn.

I have a total of 4 of the dumbo black eye standard Siamese boys, just didn't take pictures of them all as they all look very similar.

Please message us with any questions or inquiries!!

06/13/2022

Today was my first day back at work after several weeks off, so here's some of the ratties for sale at Redbird! Feel free to come in for some snuggles, or even take someone home! Four young girls found their new homes today! ❤️

Hi everyone!

I first want to say that I am so grateful for the last couple years of breeding, and all of the wonderful families who have my babies. This has been a lot of fun for me.

Unfortunately this past Monday, my partner got into an accident and suffered a brain injury. We are staying in a hospital a couple hours from home, and my neighbors are feeding and watering the rats each day. However, I have a lot of rats. It is a lot of work for my neighbors, and it will be too much work for me to handle once my partner is healthy enough to come home, as he will need my help and care as well, especially since he has always helped with the rats quite a bit also and I won't have his help for a bit. This means that I am having to downsize my program.

I have taken several adults and many young rats to my place of work, Redbird Pet Food Center in Alma, for them to sell. This way, I can downsize from afar without having to plan all my own pickups and meets with adopters. I am not by any means fully quitting. I am keeping several standard males and females, and all of my dwarf rats. Plus, I have three nursing females at home and 3 pregnant females who will stay with me. But, I had quite a large program, 20 cages worth of rats, and I would like to work my way down to 6 cages or so.

If anyone is interested in adopting from me, please feel free to head into Redbird and check them out. I have roan, Siamese, Tonkinese, fawn, tabby, and other varieties there now, as well as more babies at home who will be replacing them.

We are taking everything one day at a time here at the hospital, but once we are settled in back at home and I go back to work, I will begin doing some individual adoptions again.

I have had a lot of support from some of you the past few days, and I am so appreciative of it ❤️ Please always still feel free to message me with any questions you may have regarding our rats. Photos of my sweet man Henri taken in front of Redbird on one of our first nice days this year

05/18/2022

I've cleaned 14 cages in the last two days, and I rewarded myself with some baby photos ❤️

Dwarf, standard, Silvermane, and Harley babies available for reservation in the coming weeks!

05/07/2022

Available boys! Siamese, Russian Blue Tonkinese, Tonkinese, black blazed, black roan, Tonkinese, and fawn Rex! Most ready to go starting next week!

Please message the page with any and all questions 🥰
