🐀 Most people have never met a pet rat, so they only know the stereotypes.

The truth? They’re incredibly clean, love healthy treats, and form amazing bonds with their people.

I love sharing little facts like these because the more people learn about them, the more they realize they’re pretty incredible little animals.

❤️ Which fact surprised you the most?

✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨

I’m temporarily closing my werewolf reservation list to new reservations while I make some exciting changes behind the scenes and focus on the future of my werewolf program.

If you’re already on the reservation list, nothing has changed! You’ll keep your spot and I’ll continue updating you as your babies become available.

For now I won’t be accepting any new werewolf reservations but I’ll be sure to announce when the list reopens.

Thank you all for your patience and support, I can’t wait to share what’s ahead! 🖤

A gentle summer reminder: rats are incredibly sensitive to heat and poor ventilation. Please be cautious with carriers, travel cages, enclosed spaces, and any temporary housing setups, even if you expect them to be used for only a few minutes.

In general, rats do best in temperatures around 65–75°F. Once temperatures start getting into the upper 70s and especially above 80°F, the risk of heat stress increases. Temperatures above 85°F can become dangerous very quickly, particularly if ventilation is limited.

Heat-related emergencies can happen much faster than many people realize. As the weather gets hotter, it’s worth taking a second look at airflow and temperature any time your rats are outside their normal enclosure.

*Remember that a carrier or small enclosed space can become significantly warmer than the surrounding room, especially when multiple rats are housed together.*

I wanted to share the reminder because it’s one of those risks that can be easy to underestimate until you’re faced with it. ❤️

* A little something different *
I have a bonded pair of guinea pigs that I am looking to place in a well-prepared, loving home.

They will need to go together, as they are bonded.

Guinea pigs are often thought of as “easy” pets, but they actually require quite a bit of space and consistent care to truly thrive. They will need:
• A properly sized enclosure (not a pet store starter cage)
• Unlimited hay at all times
• Daily fresh vegetables
• Regular cleaning and upkeep

As with my rats, placement matters to me. I will be a bit selective to ensure they are going to a home that is fully ready and understands their care needs.

If you’re interested, please send me a message and tell me a little about the setup you have (or are planning).
