Tiny Toes and Tails Rattery

24/08/2022

These babies are so precious! We still haven't decided on our holdbacks, with the exception of Lilly. She's out special little girl who was born with only one eye. She will be staying with us 😊

Such pretty ladies 🥰💕

Thank you everyone for your patience!
Babies and Mom's are doing great! Babies are opening their eyes and ears, and starting to follow Mom around the cage exploring.

Thank you everyone for your continued patience. My family and I are sick at this time. I will do my best to answer all messages hopefully in the next few days 💜

*This post is a PSA*
For various life reasons we will no longer be breeding, with the possible exception of a single line. We aren't going anywhere! We are always still happy to give advice, help where we can, very interested in updates, and will continue to be here to reach out to. We will continue to post, and we'll use this page with any possible litters we may have in the future. Our wonderful rattery will remain with us as pets, with a few possible exceptions to the perfect family.
Our current litters will still be available when they are of age 💜

Keeping a close on these beauties 💜 The picture isn't doing justice to their color range from black to blue 💙

After a summer break, we're back with babies! We have two lovey ladies sporting some cuties 🥰.
Louisa is being a wonderful Mommy, as is Wendy with her tiny little litter of what appear to be all girls 💜

We have been on a small summer break from breeding. I'm happy to announce we just recently have paired a few lovely ladies. Assuming all goes as planned, we will be expecting babies in around 3 weeks. We've paired our Siamese carriers, and Russian blue carriers, (who I'm very much hoping are also American blue carriers)!
Picture of a few of our lovely ladies 😍

The wheel finally came! This is a silver surfer chinchilla wheel from Chewy. It is 14" on the inside, perfect for female rats! Boys on the other hand, need 16" wheels. Why so big? Rats need a wheel that won't curve their tail, which their spine extends partially into. Running with a curved spine can cause major issues for our little guys, so it's a big no-no. This is the biggest wheel I saw on chewy, the other option seems to be buying off Etsy.
Hopefully my girls will use this beauty, otherwise it'll be the most expensive bed they have 😂

Not my babies, but if anyone is looking to rescue some kiddos in the Simpsonville SC area 💕

Playful boys and sniffy girls!

24/06/2022

This is my new favorite video 😂🤣
I'd like to mention, they've had water in this bottle, and a bottle 6" away, all day. At no point have they been without.
One started to drink. . .then another joined. . .then another. . .then the slap fight began 😂

The girls love their kabob, we'll definitely be getting more! Fresh strawberries, carrots, and, (not on the kabob), watermelon!
I definitely recommend this for your ratties! Working a little for their food works their bodies, brains, and encourages natural foraging behavior!

Another Emiology video! In this video, she goes over lone rats, and why they absolutely need same-gender companions. I've definitely had some people become frustrated with me over this, but this helps explain why I only home in pairs or more.
I know we all want what's best for our ratties!

**Rats are highly social animals that have to live in groups. Here are some of the most common reasons people may choose or feel they need to house a rat alone, and some suggestions to prevent this. I appreciate it isn't always as easy as it sounds, but as with all of their other needs like food, water and adequate space we have to do what we can to ensure their social needs are met

The girls received a few new climbing items for their triple Critter nation cage.
We finally went by IKEA and bought the scarf organizer the rat community loves so much! So far, so good!
A few new bridges are included also 💜
I'm going to include some links in the comments section, for anyone interested 😊

Well I caved 😂 Meet Potato and Butler!
I received one to many kisses from these guys, so they'll be staying with us for our program to continue the sweetness! While both boys are black, (Potato is also a silvermane which is why he looks different), both boys also carry Russian blue 😍.
They will be moving in with our boys, Fraser, Niles, and Martin. Fraser and Niles will be helping us with our Siamese line. Martin carries American blue, my personal favorite color, which I'm excited to get back to!
