Jah’s Rattery & Exotix

02/19/2025

As rat and mouse fanciers and breeders, we do more than just produce animals. With us lies the responsibility of producing an animal which is not only beautifully colored and pleasing to look at, but more importantly one that is healthy and makes a wonderful pet. Each and every one of us about what....

I am finally not sick anymore! Haha. Only took 2 weeks. Still have a raging cough unfortunately. Baby rat content coming soon 🥰

Hi guys! Sorry I have been MIA or responses has been hours or days delayed, I think I had the flu but am finally recovering! I got everyone in my house sick unfortunately. I will be back this week hopefully 🤞🏼! I need time to recover & feel like myself again. I barely could walk at one point. Never want to feel like this again.

THIS!!

Something to note…
For those who believe that the purchase price of well-bred rats is too high, please consider that only animals that are raised and bred at low costs can be sold at lower prices. I place a great emphasis on the appropriate care of my animals, their proper treatment, and high-quality nutrition. Responsible and appropriate rearing of the young rats also requires significant time and financial investment. The costs incurred cannot even be remotely covered by the adoption fee.

With each litter and each individual rat, I maintain pedigrees. These pedigrees are exclusively available to other breeders. I do not offer them for pets. However, every buyer receives the birth date of the rat(s) and information about the parent rats.

As a breeder and animal owner, I place the highest value on breeding and keeping my rats according to current scientific knowledge. The foundation of my commitment is striving for optimal health, excellent temperament, and suitable appearance of my animals. In breeding, I carefully consider genetic aspects to ensure that the offspring inherit the best traits from their ancestors. It is important for me to be aware of possible genetic health risks and minimize them.

The appropriate care of my rats is also very important to me. I ensure that their environment meets their natural needs, whether through sufficient space, various forms of entertainment, or a balanced diet. Regarding the feeding of my rats, I place great importance on it being based on scientific knowledge. Through extensive research and access to current studies, I carefully select their food to ensure that my rats receive all necessary nutrients. In addition to their pellet diet, I also incorporate fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs (some from my own garden), and well-nourished insects, as well as other animal proteins into the diet of my rats, ensuring diverse and rich nutrition. The quantity and composition of the food are tailored to the individual needs, age, and breeding purpose of my rats.

Through continuous learning and staying informed about new scientific findings and recommendations, I keep my breeding and husbandry practices up to date. This allows me to ensure that my rats lead a happy and healthy life while contributing to the improvement of rat breeding. My passion for rat breeding drives me to keep learning and constantly improve my methods to ensure the well-being of my animals.

Friendly reminder that health and temperament issues can still pop up in the most well bred rats and it's beyond us breeders control. We sadly cannot eradicate every single health or temperament issue, no matter how much we want to. That does not mean we are bad breeders. The expectation that breeder rats are perfect and you'll never encounter any problems is incorrect. It can, and does happen, but at a lower percentage than rats that aren't well bred.

Health issues, temperament issues, hormonal aggression requiring castration, can happen in the best breeding lines. Reputable breeder rats does not always equal perfect, problem free rats. The chances of issues are less, but not zero.

Please don't blame your breeder and make them feel like crap for things that are sadly beyond their control because you had unrealistic expectations and assumptions. Rat groups are the worst for this.

Also, if you're complaining your rats aren't cuddly enough and blaming your breeder, that's obscene. Personally, my rats are energetic, cheeky, and adventurous. They are people obsessed and love human interaction, but will not sit on you for hours on end sleeping. Some will have a cuddle here and there, but for the most part they love to explore. They have personality, they are not potato rats with nothing in-between the ears. Not all rats are cuddly, not all rats want human interaction 24/7, some rats are more ratty rats and just like to go about their daily ratty business - they're all individuals and have their own personalities which again, can be controlled to some extent but not 100%. So if you're looking for rats that sit and do nothing, Scevilles probably aren't for you.

Wow! Have to try this.

For those interested in the potty training method.

We tried using a litter box for years and yeeeaars. They wouldn't use it.

Now we simply use a rock. The rocks have been in place for a few years in each cage. And while they look gross, it makes life easier. We simply scoop the soiled litter around it daily. The rock is about 4 inches and flat. I often see them stand on the rock to urinate. And while we shouldn't clean the rock, I have wiped off stuck on poo. And the rock truly doesn't smell that bad. You would think it would be rancid?! But it's not. It works for our cages.

UPDATE: RAL may be offering panels to help fill the void left by CR’s decision 🤞🤞🤞

Unfortunately CRL will no longer be allowing breeders to submit samples for testing. They now require we go through a vet, which unfortunately makes testing our rodents extremely cost prohibitive. So I am extremely distressed to announce we will no longer be a tested Rattery unless this policy is changed 😞

**FREE READINGS; NOT RAT RELATED, PLEASE READ!!**
Hello, I am posting on this platform due to its larger following compared to my main account. I'm thrilled to announce that my 9-month tarot journey has given me with the confidence to offer free readings, which will help me improve my knowledge of the cards and my ability to connect with others' energy. I'll be doing text-based readings due to my anxiety, which I find most conducive to my learning style. You are welcome to ask unlimited questions at any time on the current moment. Please don't hesitate to reach out, I'll do my best to provide insightful responses. This will 100% help me get better & reach my goals. Keep in mind, readings do not predict the future, it gives an answer based on your current energy.
If you don’t believe in tarot, wanted to put out here my friends & family weren’t believers until after I did their readings. If you do not want free readings, sharing helps a TON!

My service dog for tax ❤️.

1/1/25 my starting prices for rats will go up & how payment works will change slightly. Those on my waitlist currently pricing will be the same. I DO HAVE A NEW YEARS SALE GOING ON UNTIL 1/8/25; $5 OFF EACH RAT! Discount Code is DC5.
However many rats you are getting is how much your deposit will be. I will be removing the $5 waitlist fee. New prices for “basic” rats/deposit on how many you are getting are;
2 for 30
3 for 45
4 for 55
I will let you know how much you owe when you pick your rats as Add-ons do apply for almost all of my litters at 6-8 weeks of age depending on the litter.
(check out my website to see more information on that).
I currently only do pickings through pictures/videos. As far as payment, you can pay 24 hours prior or at pickup through CashApp, Apple Pay or Cash.
