Clipping some bunny peet paws 🐰
Our rattery isn’t “perfect”, but it’s come a long way thanks to our diligent efforts and the support/care from our friends.
We can proudly say that we provide every rat with comfort, treats, and nutrition. While some rats are socialized with a little more than others (usually of the rat’s own choosing) every one gets love and attention.
While we understand the need for feeders, our goal of keeping our rats from becoming feeders has been wildly successful. We have also not had to cull anyone as we’ve left that to the mothers’ discretion. We are always prepared to handle any situation, however.
Those who follow my personal page know that I am disabled, which has led me into some apprehension towards the eugenic side of breeding. Thus far, we’ve been able to end bad lines and keep our rats with genetic anomalies happy and healthy. We’ve “bottle-fed” antibiotics and we’ve cleaned sores caused by failed culling attempts by the mother. All have recovered beautifully. Their quality of life is excellent.
For those who’ve followed this page and continue to do so, thank you! We are so happy to connect and share with other rat lovers. We hope you will love all the content to come!
Edit: For clarification purposes, our disabled rats are not available for adoption as we know their genetics could be unpredictable/unreliable. Please enjoy this video of our sweet Patchy boy, who survived his mother’s cull attempt. ❤️
Some Buzz love~ ❤️
Earlier this year, we adopted Buzz and her sister Forky from their previous owner who was sad to see them go.
I promised we’d take great care of them!
They are so loved.
What a good morning looks like from the swarm of sweeties! ❤️
Coat color update!
We will mostly have grey and black berkshires like the two in the video below. They are so very sweet and cute 🥰
Every single one of our rats are loved and cared for. In this clip, we are feeding antibiotics to this little one to help clear up an infection on his leg. The good news is that he will be loved, the bad news is he won’t be available for adoption because of his injury. Don’t worry, we will still have plenty of HEALTHY babies available! 🥰🐀
Interesting tidbit: When baby rats are born, they are still developing and need the mother rat to stimulate their bowel/bladder function. Mother rat usually grooms each pup multiple times a day, during which she helps her babies potty! 🥺
