After a huge amount of thought, I’ve made the decision to step away from breeding for the foreseeable future.
This is entirely due to major changes in personal circumstances following my son being admitted to intensive care after a serious accident. Its going to be some time before hes out, and we have no real idea how much support he will need in future. Right now my focus quite simply needs to be on my family and reducing pressure and responsibilities where I can.
This has not been an easy decision and honestly feels like closing a very important chapter of my life. Rats and the fancy have been a huge part of my world for a long time, and I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships, support, knowledge and opportunities that have come from it.
I do want to make clear though that I am not disappearing from the NFRS or the fancy altogether. I will still be remaining a member, keeping a small group as pets, attending where I can in future, and cheering everyone else on from the sidelines for a while instead.
Right now I just know I cannot give breeding the time, consistency and focus it deserves, and I would rather step back properly than try to do things halfway.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my rats and my lines over the years. It has genuinely meant a lot.
I will continue to support my existing pet homes in the meantime. 💜
