🖤 Why I’m So Picky 🖤
(And why that’s not going to change.)

Every guideline I have, every question on the application, every requirement for group size, every piece of my adoption process; is rooted in one thing: the welfare of my rats.

These animals are not a product to me. They’re not “inventory.” They’re living, intelligent, social beings who deserve thoughtful, lifelong homes. Homes where their needs are known, respected, and met.

So yes, I’m selective.
Yes, I require an application.
Yes, I’m thorough when screening adopters.
Yes, my application is long, and that’s on purpose.
Yes, I only adopt in pairs (or more).
Yes, I require payment upfront.
Yes, my pricing reflects the level of care, testing, and intentional breeding that goes into every single litter.
And yes, I say “no” when something doesn’t feel right.

*Because this is not about convenience, it’s about care*

If you’re here looking for a breeder who prioritizes health, temperament, and long-term support, you’re in the right place. But if you’re looking for a quick sale or someone who compromises integrity…thats just not me.

I’m building lines I’m proud of and relationships with adopters who feel the same way. My priority is, and always will be, the rats themselves. 🖤

Where every baby is raised with intention and love

🖤🐀 Our hearts are full after seeing these sweet moments!

Carl, Smoke, and Tenpenny, three of our boys, spent the day spreading love and joy at the assisted living home where their amazing human works. These boys soaked up the snuggles and attention, and were total gentlemen the entire time!

It means so much to see our rats making a real difference in people’s lives. We put so much care into raising babies who are not only healthy and well-socialized, but confident and kind. It’s because of that intentional work that our rats are able to go out and win over skeptical hearts in the senior living facility.

Thank you, Olivia, for sharing these pictures and giving our boys such a meaningful adventure. This is exactly the kind of connection we hope for when we raise and place our babies. 💛
