Yesterday was a tough day at the rattery. It was time to say goodbye to Moogie, one of the best rats I’ve ever known. She was outgoing, sweet, and always ready for a treat. If you have a Moogie baby (or sibling), snuggle them a little for me ♥️

Miss Spring-O said it’s bring your rat to work day 😂 It sure is hard to get work done when she starts boggling, though 😍

Here’s a few pictures from the recent photo shoot for the “sewing stuff” litter. Most of the items in the pictures are vintage or antique sewing items I inherited from my great grandmother (who probably rolled in her grave when she realized I was letting rats crawl on her things…). She passed her love of sewing on to me, though I don’t have as much time to enjoy it anymore.

If you want to see all the adorable baby pics, make sure you check out the website ♥️🐀♥️

The image: endless nuts
The reality: not enough nuts for one ratto 😂

New baby pics are coming soon! This is a sneak peek of one of the two litters. Did you know that nuts in the shell are an EXCELLENT form of enrichment for rats? Hide the nuts around the cage, allowing them to forage for a treat. When they find it, they’ll have to work to get to the goodies inside. Almonds are the fan favorite around here, but they also enjoy Brazil nuts, filberts, and pecans ♥️🐀♥️

Emo went into a maternity bin yesterday. I think she might be pregnant, y’all 😂 This is her first litter, and she really fluffed out! I can’t wait to meet her babies 🥰

Oh baby! Look at the cuties 🥹 I wasn’t expecting Harley from this litter, but I guess Kitten said she wanted to give me a surprise. To see all nine babies, check out the website ♥️🐀♥️

Oh baby! Look at all the CUTENESS!!! These guys are up on the site and availability is posted. This may be Chicken’s last litter before he retires and allows one of his sons to take his place, so these guys are special. Message if you’d like to know more ♥️ 🐀 ♥️

I am so happy to report that Val is no longer in limbo! The sweet family who is adopting two of her sisters decided they just couldn’t leave her behind, so all three girls will get to stay together. What a happy start to 2025!

And that brings up a great point. Did you know that rats are happiest in trios (or more)? They’re very social animals, and ensuring they have at least one friend is imperative to their happiness. Their social need is no different than their need for food and water. So make sure your rat has at least one good buddy, but if you can take on more, even better ♥️

Did you know that rats don’t have breeds? Rats are just rats! When you refer to the differences in their appearance, you’re talking about their varieties. Now you know ♥️🐀♥️

This is Val ♥️ She’s the last girl waiting for her new forever family to find her. Because I only adopt juveniles in pairs, what does this mean for Val?

Juveniles need same-age company. They have lots of energy, and they’re still learning about the world. It’s best for their social development if they are allowed to have a friend who is in the same stretch of development. But that doesn’t mean they need to be the exact same age. As long as they are within a few weeks of age, they can be adopted with a juvenile rat that is a little younger or older.

Thankfully, I have another litter that will be on the site soon, and they’re only a little younger than sweet Val. That means she’ll be able to find a friend from that litter. In the mean time, she’ll have company ♥️ She’ll be kept with her sisters that I’m keeping until she finds her forever family.

If you’re interested in Val, shoot me a message! She’s a SUPER sweet girl.

It’s always something 😂😂😂 But on a serious note, learn from my mistake.

Rats are curious and destructive pets. They love to chew, and this destructive habit serves a purpose as well. But not all things are safe for rats to gnaw on. Be very mindful when setting things down near the cage. A forgotten rag left on top after cleaning day can result in a vet visit (or worse). Cords and cables are something else to be mindful of. It doesn’t even need to touch the cage (as is evidenced by my poor playpen). If the rats can reach it with their little hands through the bars, they will pull it closer and have a field day.

So whether you’re new to rats or a seasoned vet, it’s never a bad time for a reminder to check around your cages for potential hazards. Thankfully, none of my rats were harmed during their little night of terror. I was very blessed, but it’s a risk I should have been more careful about.

Look at all these cuties 😍 Itachi and Izumi really outdid themselves with this litter. I probably won’t have enough girls to go around because the waitlist is full, but if you’re looking for sweet boys, I’ve got you covered!! Or if you just want to look at the cuteness, I’ve got you covered there, too ♥️ 🐀♥️

To everyone who alerted me to the website crash, THANK YOU!! I never would have known the site was down otherwise. I contacted my hosting company, and they were able to troubleshoot and get the site back up. Whew!

Lots of cute babies popped onto the site today 😍 Here is a peek at some of the pictures. Go to Tigertailrattery.com to see all the babies and their names ♥️🐀♥️
