Arcanum Exotics & Apothecary (ARCX) is the reborn version of West Coast Rattery. Run by the magical duo Riley and Ethan, ARCX aims to be your one-stop pet shop catering to BC and beyond. All species bred for pets are bred with health and temperament in mind. Quality lines are imported from Europe and the USA to ensure we work with only the very best. We have an impressive selection of handcrafted

Arbutus enrichment products and forage mixes, all ingredients and materials are ethically and sustainably sourced and are top quality. As of 2022 are working with feeder animals and insects to offer the island an ethical alternative. Every critter big OR small that we raise is treated like family members as they deserve, regardless of their intended purpose - never crammed into too-small a space or fed cheap diets to boost profit margin; our goal is to always do the best we can for the animals, and make a point of keeping up-to-date on current best practice knowledge. All pets have adoption applications to complete for approval, and all feeder mammals are sold F/T, never live.

Our Story

West Coast Rattery was founded early 2016 first and foremost to improve upon the image of rats as pets, and to provide BC and beyond with quality pet rats - as our most ethical sources were pet stores sourcing from mill breeders - no good! WCR animals are bred with health and temperament in the forefront of our minds. Our animals have been imported from various sources in the USA, Ontario and Europe, and we’ve managed to create a diverse line-up of quality breeding animals.

We do not breed ANY of our animals to meet a demand; we breed for ourselves and the betterment of the species with which we work (as quality pets and species dependent, show specimens, as “betterment” is subjective). We will always retain any and all offspring required to progress a line, regardless of wait-list length, and our animals are ALL treated like family first. We require an adoption form be filled out prior to adoption. ** we do not allow visitors into the Rodentry under any circumstances
