The Rat's Nest Rattery

I still have 5 lovely mink females ready and waiting for forever homes. Please PM me if you would like to reserve a pair.

I also have 1 fawn bristle-coat dumbo male still available. If interested in adopting him you must have another male (or males) at home for him to live with after he's quarantined for two weeks and then properly introduced, as rats are happier when they have others of their own kind to interact with.

These are 5 males born on September 25, 2024, 3 of which will be ready to go to new homes on November 6th. (I had two litters born about a week apart mixed together, as both mothers; Chevron and Starburst both bred with the same male; (Juneau) and are sharing the mothering duties. Both litters were female-heavy his time around and I'll put up photos of the numerous females in a separate post. I'll be keeping the two wedge-blazed males but the other 3 will be available.

Update on the Fawn litter; Marigold X Mango which will be 6 weeks old next Wednesday, October 30, 2024. These babies are active and playful little bundles of joy! It was hard to photograph them because they were so busy climbing over each other but I did my best; had to do it mostly in smaller groups. Since they don't have markings they look very similar so photographing them individually wouldn't have made them distinguishable given that there are 13 of them. Just message me and let me know if you would like males or females, Bristle, or standard-coated, standard ears, or dumbo ears and I'll check availability for you. I believe there are only 4 females in this litter (there is one that is probably a late blooming male or a cryptorchid possibly. The spacing of ge****ls looks male but is a bit ambiguous and not as far apart as the other males but there is no bulge and I was not able to see any ni***es even when wetting down its underside).

Here are updated photos of all currently available females as of 10/5/24. Please message me if interested in adopting.

Update on Fawn litter, Marigold X Mango - born 9/18/24; Babies' eyes are open now at a little more than 2 weeks old and their coats are a rich orange color. They're starting to move around more, climb over each other, and explore. These are some chunky, robust, healthy babies! They'll be 6 weeks old on October 30, 2024.

Winds are starting to increase in strength now, so if I don't respond to messages tonight and tomorrow it may mean I have a power outage. My phone doesn't hold a charge for very long, so if the power goes out I may need to conserve battery and not be online. If so, 'll get back to people as soon as the crisis has passed. Thanks for your patience.

I am starting to make some rat items out of vines and will be offering some for sale once I have some more completed. I spent about 6 or 8 hours last night making a hanging Muscadine vine ball about the size of a basketball with a random weave and a hole in the front for rats to go inside. It is almost completed. I just need to fill in some areas and add a hanging rope. Once it is all completed and ready to be hung in the age I'll post pictures. This one will be for my babies and mothers in one of my cages, and will be making some for some of the others before making items to sell. This random weave takes alot more material than typical methods and in many instances are more time-consuming so I'd have to charge quite a bit for those, so I will probably utilize other weaves for the ones offered for sale unless someone specifically requests one and is willing to spend what it's worth. Most of the items made of natural materials available commercially are made in China and designed for smaller rodents like Hamsters. I have always found the small size of many of those items frustrating especially when you want multiple rats to be able to climb on or into them. I'm hoping that I'll be able to fill a need for rat owners who want something better.

Update on Fawn litter, Marigold X Mango - born 9/18/24; 13 babies; 4 females and 9 males, 3 standard-coated and 10 bristle-coated. These will be ready for new homes on and after October 30th, 2024 (1 day before Halloween). What better time for pumpkin orange cutie beauties!

Fawn Bristle-coat X Fawn Bristle-coat breeding was successful! The mother, Marigold had her babies this morning. There appear to be 13 but did not want to bother them too much for the first few days to do an exact count. Will update in a few days or a week with pictures. Mango, the sire is a beautiful, big boy and so is the mother, so these babies are likely to be large. Bristle-coat is a Rexoid gene that has a wavy coat that gradually becomes more of a fluffy coat as the rat gets older. Whiskers tend to be curved more subtly than a standard Rex and in more random directions.
