Truffle and Tigger's Babies

Here they are, Cute as can be :) We love them all with care and they get handled a lot. Truffle (As you can see in the The Boys section) is a very cute Agouti Rex rat
he has a very beautiful coat of fur and it's very soft to touch, He does not bite or nip and neither do his lovely babies. The mother of these lovely babies is called Tigger (Visit The Girls section) she is also very friendly and she is a very good rat.

The rats are Top-Eared, Dumbo, Agouti, Rex, Berkshire (lots more) and of course because Truffle was a Top-Eared Rat some of his babies are Top-Eared Rats, We really don't know what some will look like untill they are older because as one point there was this one baby which was Truffle's mini-me, but his coat changed, one minute it looked Russian Blue the next Truffle's mini-me. So we really don't have much of an idea of what they will look like.

These rats are FOR SALE.
Oh and we NEVER EVER breed brothers with sisters.

Mice

We also breed mice we have multi colored mice and black tan mice.

Dumbo Rats

We started off several years ago with our first two dumbo rats. One was grey whom I called Remy out of the film Ratatouille, and the other was a Black Berkshire whom John called Stuart. Remy loved his food. If you walked past eating something, his little nose would be pushed through the bars twitching away. His favourite food was cheese. He passed away in his sleep aged 3 years old.

I decided to get a Russian Blue and also named him Remy. Remy and Stuart got on famously, but when Stuart had to be put to sleep, Remy became very depressed. He did nothing but eat and sleep, but hid himself away so he wouldn't have to interact with anyone. I went to a local pet shop to get some bedding and saw a beautiful Black Self female dumbo rat. I bought her and took her home and John fell in love with her and he called her Lady. We went back and got her sister and she was named Tigger. Two weeks later, Lady had 12 babies, but one died. That's what started us off with breeding Dumbo Rats.

We look after our rats, and name the ones we keep. They get treated like they are part of the family and we do not exhaust the females with breeding, we rotate them and they get a good, long, well deserved rest :)

We do NOT breed our rats for food, we make sure they go to homes where they will be loved and cuddled for the rest of their lives :)
