The Rat's Nest Rattery

These are the 3 females from Mercury's Litter, born on July 31, now 5 and a half weeks old. There are 2 available, a black variberk and a Pearl (both standard-coated). They will be ready to go to a new home on September 12, 2025. (I'm keeping a Bristle-coat Mink Silvermane female from this litter).

Here are the males from Mercury's litter (bred to Andre). It took me awhile to decide which ones I will keep (they're all beautiful so it was difficult to narrow it down), but now that their coats have developed I'm ready to offer the ones that will be available. (I'm keeping one female and one male).

The babies in this litter will be ready to go on Friday, September 12th, and I'm taking reservations now.

Only one pair of males and one pair of females are available in this small litter so if you see some you're interested in please PM me and complete the process promptly so I can set up appointments for pick-up and get them placed.

The first photo is of the whole litter of 6; showing 3 males and 3 females. (The females will be featured in a separate post once I have time to take individual photos of them).

I still have some males and some females available righ now. Please PM me to complete the process if you would like some of these remaining babies. I still have one or two litters to update that haven't been shown yet, so stay tuned.

Also, I'm in the process of developing some rat themed jewelry; I'm just waiting for some supplies to come in the mail. Necklaces are going to be made first; then possibly earrings and/or bracelets. I'd like to get some input as to which of these you all would be interested in.

Justice X Andre (repeat breeding); 12 babies born August 21, 2025. Justice tends to have Martens and I've been trying to get some male Martens to make sure my line is not bred out. Up till now litters have containd only females and I need both to reliably produce and improve these. It looks like I got at least 2 males, both fairly dark! There are 6 Martens altogether (some of which will be available once I decide on which Martens will be holdbacks as their coats develop), 3 Agoutis, and 3 black berkshires. 5 are standard-coated and 7 bristle-coated, and some may also be Silvermane. (I'm thinking that Andre, the sire, must be a Golden Siamese because he almost always produces some Agoutis even when bred to black and his coloring looks like a very pale fawn).

These babies will be 6 weeks and ready to go on Thursday, October 2, 2025. I'll open up reservations for this litter sometime between the middle of the month and a week before the end of the month (so stay tuned, start planning ahead and preparing now if you are interested in adding some of these to your family).

Here are the 7 females (almost 5 weeks old) from Justice's litter, born July 21, 2025. It was quite a challenge to get photos of these as they were not wanting to sit still, but finally got some decent pictures! The group shots were the hardest, as they would not stay on the paper towel roll and kept turning around and jumping off, but I got some pretty good ones of them in a clear plastic bin. Three are standard-coated, and 4 are Bristle-coats. These babies will be ready to go on September 2, 2025. Please PM me to complete the process if you would like to reserve some of these. 5 of the 7 are available; (the two Martens are holdbacks).

3 Males from Justice X Andre's Litter; now 1 month old. These will be ready to go to new homes on September 2, 2025. The two Agoutis are Bristle-coated, and the dark Mink one is standard-coated. He's so dark he's almost black and may possibly be Silvermane too because his coat kind of sparkles. It's hard to tell yet whether this is just normal silvering that happens on some dark rats or if it's Silvermane, but I suspect it is. I have alot of it in my line. Some get very shimmery later on when they develop their sub-adult coat and some earlier.

(If looking for females stay tuned. I will be photoraphing them and posting pictures of those sometime in the next few days. There are 7 females in this same litter).
