Azure Rattery I am not currently breeding. I plan to start up again but it will be a bit and fertility at that time, which is generally 12 months. But, most still do.

As I have been told it isn't as standard as one from the outside may think, I must say, my main goals are to improve the quality of pet rats. As such, I generally pick 1 with the desired genes from a litter, and then 1 or 2 that show great health or a desired temperament in the litter and then all of them contribute to improving the line. Of course if any picked for their genes show horrible signs

in either health or temperament they are not included in breeding, and occasionally I find one that has the best health temperament and genes, and I am lucky. Girls here generally have 2 to 3 litters with the third depending on how well they recover from the first two. Unless complications arise in the first litter. Then they are retired and can live out their lives happily here, or if someone wishes to adopt an older rat. Males are retired when they cannot fertilize females or when their genes are no longer needed for improvement, and they too spend the rest of their lives here unless someone specifically is looking for an older rat. Though, I often get attached and cannot let them go when they are retired anyway, so most aren't even considered for that. Rats are not bred while they are sick. Many girls go through respiratory infections, and we breed to avoid that. They are not bred until they are 100% clear though, as to not pass it on to babies in their early lives. They are all our pets first, and breeders second. Their care comes before babies, and that will never change, even if I progress into large scale one day. Males are also cleared of health so they do not pass anything onto the female right before pregnancy. This ensures no harmful infections can pass to babies early life, and they have the best start to being healthy. Older rats that develop infections later than cage mates or not at all and recover quicker are regarded as more healthy rats and are chosen to contribute to health. Of course, I can't and certainly do not want to infect babies to test their health, so they are chosen based on size and growth compared to siblings. Usually, the biggest is the healthiest.

My heart! <3 Summer's babies just opened their eyes. And I got this little one out. Because they're so big. And he started grooming me (which I missed with the camera) and then he was being cute like this.

The other day I was wandering around the pet shop and boticed they had feathers as nesting material for birds. And I thought. That looks really comfy and soft. So after confirming they weren't harmful and that ither's rats who were given feathers really enjoyed them, I went back today and got some. Here are some of Helena's babies that jumped right into the pile as soon as I placed it. :)

AAAAAHHHHHH! <3

Cerulean is in labor right now! 4 so far! It's not every day you get to watch! :)

So last night I had dinner with my mum. :) She cooked a roast lamb that was absolutely scrumptious. Anyway, there was a bit spare, and I got to bring it home! Yay! This video was filmed last night, these are the pregnant girls (soon to have babies hopefully) I also gave (smaller) bits to the others, but being that these guys are feeding more than themselves, they got some of the larger chunks. Summer, the last girl, is normally a lot quicker to the front, but you can't tell, she had just woken up! Also, I must say, even though Cerulean was a bit slow to take it, she's a precious baby. :)

I love rats that'll take treats outside their cage. I feel it's a sign of trust. Tiffany, of course, was taking bunches of treats before the camera was on but then she was like 'nope I'm gonna be a diva!' I use Vetafarm Rodent Origins pellets as treats. Mostly because when training, they are quick to be eaten so there is more of a focus on the work. But they work great for just random treats as well. Especially when they are based on a complete diet, so they can have as many as they want without it being bad for them. (They do get other treats but these are close to their cages at all times. And are the best for them.)

Poor mumma storm is exhausted.

We had chicken for dinner last night. :) Rats got spares. :) Needless to say they liked it. Here are some of the girls. Sorry the video isn't great. But they are so grabby. It's pretty cute. I apparently cannot post all the videos in one post so you just get my favourite video of them. :( Zinnia and Dedenne are the ones with grabby hands.

Thought I'd get a video of Trixie with her blueberries. :) After putting enough for one each in all the other cages on the off chance they decide to try it, Trixie got the rest. Little weirdo. There was chocolate smeared on the bowl and she didn't even look at it at first.

Most of the rats shared a similar disinterest in the blueberries. With the exception of Trixie who hoarded them like there was no tomorrow. Haha. :)

For the fist time since I got her, Precious came up to me this morning instead of me going to get her to check her. :)

When you go away for a week and get welcomed back by the initially thought to be worst of the 3 sisters. Maya was straight on the edge of the cage for me. :)

WARNING! EXTREMELY AWKWARD Here are all my rats in a video. This was not well planned or scripted I just kinda went with it. I am super awkward so yeah... I love them, I do. But here you can see how they behave a bit. All these rats need work in one aspect or another. I cannot change the individual rats, I can only hope to improve upon my lines with their children, so when I say in the video that a particular rat needs work, that is what I am referring to. I am not gentle with my rats. I strive to get them to the point where they will fit into any homes. even with young children. Therefore, I am rough with my rats to test them. I do not recommend going and scruffing/shaking (As I do to Chokito) your pets as I cannot guarantee they will react calmly. Notice I only do it with specific rats, I know the ones that will tolerate it enough that I can do it on video.
