I know we've been a bit quiet of late, but it's not without reason....
As many of you know, our amazing foundations from the wonderful Kabuki Rats, Blaise Rattery and Rattie Asylum Stud are now here with us and fully settled in and causing chaos (I'm looking at you, Wasabi and Maricha) but we've also been busy behind the scenes
First, I want to announce we are now an NFRS Registered Rattery! The application for Relish Rattery was approved and is now official!
(please note that the NFRS does not endorse or approve any rat breeders and the NFRS accepts no responsibility for the actions of any registered breeders or ratteries)
Secondly, I want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Siobhan at Silly Badger Designs for bringing Relish to life with her wonderful artwork which is used in our logo...
Also I feel that it may warrant an explanation....lol
Relish was more than a heart rat he was a soul rat and in all my years of ownership, I'd never met another like him. He was an absolute fruit cake who never failed to make me laugh, even on my darkest days.
He also had a reputation as a RoDentist.... Whether you wanted it or not! It quickly became apparent that unless you wanted a full dental inspection and your tonsils left alone, you didn't open your mouth around him (didn't stop him trying..) so as the rattery is named after him it seemed fitting the logo was him, as a dentist (please note we do not advise using a rat for dental care, please stick to your usual dentist!) with the wings he most definitely earned during his short life, with a smile on his face and off to ensure that no one suffered the embarrassment of improperly cared for molars....
The reason he was chosen as our logo was because of who he was. The outgoing, friendly, crazy as a box of frogs rat who was just the most perfect balance of cuddles and insanity - and he is what I'd love for pet homes to experience via the rats I plan to breed, the ones that can cheer you up either with boggles or a running jump off the sofa, drink diving or just being them. The out there, wild personalities that cannot be contained. What is to me - the perfect rat. And I know if he was still here, he would be showing them all the ropes as only he could.
So here's to the future, onwards and upwards! 💜💜💜
