I just have to share this absolute noodle with you all! This is NEVR Nimbus, from Nevermore Rodentry 💜 He's a chocolate rexoid from the marble line. In the time he's been here he has stolen my heart over and over again with his squishiness, excited bouncy playfulness, kisses, and attention seeking. He is such a wonderful boy and I am so grateful to have him!

Wish us luck, he's currently paired to NEVR Gale and we're oh so hoping for beans that inherit his personality 🥰

Last but not least, new litter for the UK mink merle line!

Genie is a UK silver mink merle variegated silvermane velveteen. Merlin is a black Irish silvermane velveteen.

This pairing was made to hopefully produce more merle expressing rats and select for Merlin's wonderfully floppy temperament. An end goal of mine is to remove the silvermane and velveteen coats muddying up the merles, but I have no good options for that just yet, so I'm focusing this generation on temperament and passing on merle.

What I'm expecting:
Standard size
Colors - Black, UK silver mink, merle
Markings - Irish, variegated
Coats - Standard, silvermane, velveteen, double velveteen
Ear Types - Standard and possible dumbo

New litter for the Siamese line!

Kyanite is Russian blue variberk, possible recessive blaze. Stumpers is a seal point Siamese.

This pairing was made with the goal of carrying on Stumpers' excitable, attention-beggar, cuddly temperament. You can see a video of him here:

This pairing is also meant to produce more Russian blues for the Siamese line, as my end goal is to only have seal point and Russian blue point Siamese.

What I'm expecting:
Standard size, 66% chance of dwarf
Colors - Black, Siamese, American mink, Russian blue, combos thereof
Markings - Variberk, potential self, potential recessive blaze
Coats - Standard
Ear Types - Standard and dumbo

New litter for the Siamese line!

Mica is an American mink self dumbo. Aspen is a seal point Siamese dumbo.

This pairing was made to select for the modifiers that make Aspen such a beautifully high expression, toasty Siamese. It is also a priority temperament pairing, both Aspen and Mica are wonderfully squishy, floppy, attention seeking rats. You can see a video of Aspen's handling in the first comment of this post:
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FThnw8gJb/

What I'm expecting:
Standard size, 66% chance of dwarf
Colors - Black, Siamese, American mink, Russian blue, and combos thereof
Markings - Unmarked
Coats - Standard
Ear Types - Dumbo

11/20/2025

New litter for the mixed blue Harley line!

Arowana is a black self dumbo. Pike is a black self Harley dumbo.

This pairing was made to hopefully pull visual Russian blue back out while guaranteeing Harley is visual or carried in the pups. Both parents are 66% carriers. Pike is also the squishiest of his brothers and I'm hoping to solidify that relaxed behavior.

What I'm expecting:
Standard size
Colors - Black, Russian blue
Markings - Self, possibly undermarked Irish
Coats - Standard, Harley
Ear Types - Dumbo

Fresh beans! 🥰
Silica is an American mink variberk dumbo, possible recessive blaze. Stumpers is a seal point Siamese.

This pairing was made with the goal of carrying on Stumpers' temperament. He's like a tiny puppy dog, he gets so excited when you come to the cage and begs for attention, and loves to have his head and shoulders scratched. He will kiss you like crazy if you give him scritches. You can see a video of him here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1C8oVKrQVT/

What I'm expecting:
Standard size, 66% chance of dwarf
Colors - Black, Siamese, American mink, possible Russian blue, combos thereof
Markings - Variberk, potential self, potential recessive blaze
Coats - Standard
Ear Types - Standard and dumbo

Quick cage cleaning break to give a cuddly little beggar some scritches 🥰

This is one of my keeper boys from Marigold x Wyvern 💜 He doesn't have a name yet - anyone have ideas? The Tonks in this line are themed after fantasy creatures. We've had names like Wyvern, Dragon, Kappa, Phoenix, and Naga.

This is the final introduction post! Check the end of the post for a question I have for everyone 💜

Today we're introducing 3 outcross projects that will either help improve current lines or re-add some varieties we had lost in existing lines.

In case you haven't seen, I've recently brought in new lines and genes from Nevermore Rodentry! You can read more here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BfCkSzNwT/

🐉 Tonkinese
This isn’t a new gene, but an experimental outcross to my existing Tonkinese line. The goal is to improve conformation, coat quality, and temperament.

This line is from NEVR's long-running Tonkinese line, one of her oldest lines.

These rats are named after fantasy and legendary creatures.

🌊 American Blue
A new outcross to restore an old favorite. My American blues in the mixed blue Harley line were lost during quarantine, so I’ve brought in new boys to reestablish the color. These will also introduce dwarf and DWS to the line.

This line originates from Georgian Bay Rattery 💜

These rats are named after fish and things relating to the water/ocean.

🌷 Hairless
Hairless is another line I lost during quarantine, but I’ve brought in a new male to help reestablish it. He’s a bit of a mystery - he doesn’t behave like any Hairless I’ve worked with before - so part of this project will be unraveling what’s at play genetically. In the meantime, he’ll help fill that role while we work things out.
He comes from the chocolate marble line.

These rats are named after shades of pink, usually, but Condor earned himself a different name with one of his funny haircuts.

I’m beyond excited to start working with all of these incredible new genes and lines. It’s taken years of planning and coordination to make this happen and I can’t wait to share updates as they grow and develop here!

Now that they've all been introduced over the past couple weeks (scroll back to check out the rest!), which of these are you most excited to see progress? 👀 As a refresher, besides those mentioned in this post there is also:
Downunder
Golden
Marble
Chocolate/snowflake
Chinchilla
Shadow

Today we're reintroducing an old favorite!

In case you haven't seen, I've recently brought in new lines and genes from Nevermore Rodentry! You can read more here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BfCkSzNwT/

🌌 Downunder
Downunder is a homozygous lethal dominant gene that mirrors a rat’s top markings onto its belly creating unique spots and patches of color on the belly.

While we’ve worked with Downunder before, we sadly lost the gene during our outbreak quarantine. It’s one of my absolute favorites, so I knew I had to bring it back!
This new line features the h^e marking gene, producing stunningly unique markings and occasional charcoals.

This line originated from Frosted Cookie Mousery & Farm, and then was worked by J&J and NEVR.

This line will be continuing where we left off with our old Downunders, and will be continuing to use the celestial naming theme we had.

I am so excited to introduce these gorgeous rats today 😍

In case you haven't seen, I've recently brought in new lines and genes from Nevermore Rodentry! You can read more here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BfCkSzNwT/

Today we're introducing...
☀️ Golden c-locus (Golden Siamese & Golden Marten)
The Golden gene adds a warm golden overlay to a rat’s usual c-locus appearance. It’s a hypostatic recessive that only expresses when the rat displays a c-locus variety (like Siamese, marten, or Tonkinese), and it shows best on agouti-based rats with the BE gene. The result is a regal, beautiful golden toned rat.

This line is a long-running project of NEVR's.

NEVR Midnight Choir (new call name Midnight) was previously bred by NEVR and will be keeping her name out of respect and consistency for pedigrees.

This line will be starting with the ancient Egyptian pantheon as a naming theme.

10/31/2025

Today we're introducing one of my favorite genes in existence. It is an absolutely stunning variety that isn't in particular need of preservation, but does need more good breeders working to improve it.

In case you haven't seen, I've recently brought in new lines and genes from Nevermore Rodentry! You can read more here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BfCkSzNwT/

Today we're introducing...
⛈️ Marble
Marble is a homozygous lethal dominant gene that clumps pigment into cloudy clusters, creating a diluted background with deep, saturated patches - a beautiful marbled effect. I have to admit, pictures rarely do them justice but they are stunning in person.

Tempest is a gorgeous example of marble. Nimbus quickly became a new heart rat here - he is such a playful, attention seeking, squishy boy.

This line is an offshoot of the chocolates crossed with J&J's marble line. They may be crossed back and forth with the chocolate line.

This line will start with names relating to storms and weather phenomena.

10/29/2025

Here is another exciting introduction post! 🧬 This line contains two beautiful varieties in need of preservation work here in the US.

In case you haven't seen, I've recently brought in new lines and genes from Nevermore Rodentry! You can read more here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BfCkSzNwT/

Today we're introducing...
🍫 Chocolate & Snowflake
Chocolate is a rich, dark brown caused by a simple recessive gene, but it's surprisingly rare in the US and needs help with preservation. Many "chocolate" rats are misidentified mink, which assisted in the decline of true chocolate. NEVR has an article on identifying chocolate vs other brown genes pinned on her page if anyone is curious.

Snowflake is a fascinating, complex polygenic trait that produces scattered white flecks that increase with age. It’s tricky to breed for, but we’re hopeful we can help stabilize it here!

This line is from the combined efforts of NEVR and J&J, and a distant outcross to Jozzy's Rat Pack Rattery.
They are very closely related to the line I'll be announcing next, and may be crossed back and forth.

NEVR Shattered Cross (new call name Shatter) was previously bred by NEVR and will be keeping her name out of respect and consistency for pedigrees. I would like to point out her absolutely incredible conformation - look at that face!

This line will be starting with chocolate and dessert related names.
