My Rattery Breeding Schedule for 2010

(Note: I'm using frames for my web pages. The top frame that displays my logo can be moved upward out of the way to allow for more viewing area. Just move your mouse to the edge of the frame and when you see it turn into two arrows just click and drag the frame up and out of the way. :>)


Note: Mother Nature always has the final say on my breeding plans. I appreciate everyone's understanding that sometimes things are just out of my hands with supply and demand. Also, breeding pairs are subject to change, sometimes I add pairs or delete pairs to my discretion based on their health or my time constraints.






My Thoughts for 2010


I have my own unique goals for my breeding attempts that usually have to do with enhanced health and conformation, but I'm not breeding solely for myself like most ratteries are.

I'm breeding to provide the general public with a "service." I'm trying to make available to anyone within driving distance, healthy, friendly and unique pet rats so they will have other options to acquiring this unique pet besides Petsmart or rescuing them from snake food, feeder bins.

Rats for sale in those environments have not been breed to be healthy and not properly socialized. This gives pet rats a bad name. When bred to be healthy and properly socialized, pet rats, in my opinion are the best small pet on planet earth and are right up there with having a pet dog!




It's very important if you are interested in getting ratties from me to write me and let me know. I will cancel breeding plans if I don't have a reservation list to fill them. And I may add more of a certain color or marking if people show an interest in them.

LLR Candy Sprinkles
02/04/10 02/27/10 Update: 03/25/10 All the babies are doing good and I've removed the boys by themselves and let the girls remain with mom. My parents have been visiting me and I also had computer problems so I'm very behind on picture taking. I apologize for this and hope to have everyone's individual pictures taken shortly. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding regarding these delays.

Update: 03/11/10 I've given four of Candy's babies to Catch to raise. This seems to be working out very well.

Update: 03/08/10 I will be taking the babies first pictures on Thursday 03/11/10. They will be posted in the evening. I'm waiting for their fur to fully come in so the markings can be seen better. I still have one opening (two males available) from this litter. All the females are spoken for and when the pictures are posted I will contact each one on my list in the order in which you emailed me.

Please respond promptly with your picks so I can go on down the line without holding anyone else up. I know several of you are very anxious and excited about seeing the babies and picking out your precious little ones...so patience is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: 03/02/10 Candy has six girls and eight boys. So far Mama is feeding them well and they are all doing great.

Update: 02/27/10 7:00pm, Candy had fourteen babies. Mama and babies are doing great!

Update: 02/27/10 10:54am, there are ten and counting!

Update: 02/27/10 I woke up this morning to the joyous sound of little squeakers! My first little ratlets of 2010! Candy is having her babies as we speak. She started at about 9:45am and as 10:30 has had four.

Update: 02/25/10 Candy is very preggers and will have them anyday now. She really liked Disquise and I found her grooming him the other day and he was in seventh heaven loving all her dotting attention. When I see that kind of rattie love I almost hate to separating them as they were truly a family unit. But alas she needs her privacy for giving birth, so I've removed him from her area. If their babies turn out really nice maybe I'll allow them to be together again later on this year. I think once she can't be bred anymore I'll let them spend the rest of their lives together, because they really seem to love each other. (When pairing up ratties that doesn't frequently happen...rattie love...)

Update: 02/19/10 Candy is preggers! Disguise and Candy make a darling couple! These babies should be cute beyond words!

Expecting black and white with unique facial markings. Other colors that are possible are: Russian dove, Russian blue, American blue, BEW. All with dumbo ears.

Purpose of the breeding is to introduce LLR lines into my own and work with it a while to determine, health, temperament and confirmation.

Both of these ratties are sweet and laid back so I'm hoping they pass these traits down to their offspring. Candy is on the small size, so I'm introducing her into a line with good sized ratties in it.

All of these babies have now gone to their forever homes!

RDPY The Long and Winding Road
02/04/10 02/28/10 Update: 03/25/10 There appears to be a couple dwarfs in this litter and what is appearing to be a hairless or semi-hairless/double rex. She is a cute little bugger, lol and totally unexpected. As soon as I know more regarding this I'll contact the people who have reserved these babies to see if they want to swap or cancel or pick from upcoming litters about to be born this weekend.

I'm delaying taking pictures and making things official with this litter because of these unexpected developments but hope to have everyone squared away satisfactory shortly. Thank you for your patience regarding this.

Update: 03/11/10 I've given Catch four of Candy's babies to help her out. Catch's babies were getting so much food they were becoming obese! Big chunkers! Even though there are 12 feeding stations and they could all feed at once. Catch has them broken into two groups of five each. I guess she wants only so many at the table at once,lol...Very interesting...

Update: 03/08/10 Because there are rexes in this litter and the possibility of dwarfs I'm waiting until Friday 03/12/10 to take their pictures. Rex rats fur takes longer to come in than standard fur does and you can't really determine dwarfs until they open their eyes. So even after posting pictures I might not know for sure if any are dwarfs or not.

Thanks for your patience regarding me contacting you to make your pick of ratties from this litter. As the breeder I always get first pick of the litter and I have to make sure the ones I select are the best breeding prospects.

Update: 03/02/10 Catch has five girls and one boy. Mama and babies are doing good. There are a couple with dumbo ears, a couple rexes and it's still too soon to tell for sure if there are any dwarfs.

Update: 02/28/10 Catch had six little eppers waiting for me this morning when I got up. It will be a couple weeks before I'll know if any of them are dwarfs or not. When I can see their markings so I can tell them apart I may give Catch four of Candy's babies to raise to make things easier on Candy. This will give them each ten babies to raise and there are 12 feeding stations.

Update: 02/25/10 Catch is very preggers and right on schedule for her due date! Roady has been removed from her area and I've supplied her with fabric scraps to built a soft cushy nest with.

Update: 02/19/10 Not sure yet whether Roady was successful of Catch's first heat cycle. I haven't seen her come back into heat again and she is allowing him to live with her without attacking him, so I'm assuming she's preggers. I'll keep you posted!

Update: 02/04/10 They are in together again.

This is a special breeding. Catchoo is a dwarf carrier and possibly a Harley coat carrier too. I am pairing a dwarf male who carries Harley with her.

Expecting beige, black and white, burmese, Russian blue agouti, and a rainbow of other colors too as there are many dilutes in Catchoo's lineage.

Marked ratties in hooded, bareback and capped are expected. Some may have dumbo ears, but the major will have standard ears. Some dwarfs are possible.
All of these babies have now gone to their forever homes!

RDPY Michief
03/04/10 03/26/10 Update: 04/01/10 Michief still has all thirteen babies. There are eight girls and five boys. I will be surrogating two over to Glory to lessen the load on her.

Update: 03/28/10 Correction, there appears to be thirteen babies!

Update: 03/26/10 Michief has a full house! She had 12 babies today! Mama and babies are doing great. Looks like Daisy is about to have hers too!

Update: 03/25/10 Michief is right on target with her pregnancy and should have them at the estimated time.

Update: 03/04/10 They are in together.

Expecting masked ratties, BEW's, and Mismarked Dalmatians, all in black and white. All with dumbo ears.

Purpose for this breeding is try and get more ratties that have Dalmatian spots on them though I've pretty much given up on getting a true Dalmatian, variegated is about as close as I'm going to get to spotted ratties I do believe, lol.

RDPY Daisy Blue
03/04/10 03/27/10 Update: 04/13/10 I'm taking pictures of the baby today and two babies are not there. Two boys are gone. Wow, how sad. I wonder why Daisy decided she didn't want them? I've never had a Mother wait this long to remove them, even after I surrogated five to Sparkles. I thought for sure ten would be a good number for her to handle. I asked my husband if he could have possibly thrown them out when he changed their bedding last week and he assured me he didn't.

What makes it doubly hard for me is I think both had blazes on their face and one was an American blue. I was so excited about that. I'm so sadden...

Update: 04/01/10 Daisy has seven girls and eight boys. I've given Sparkles five of her babies to help her out, now they both have ten.

Update: 03/27/10 Daisy has 15 BABIES! Holly cow! So far mama and babies are doing fine. I hope they all make it. I hope one of the other Mother's has less than 12 so I can surrogate some of them to her.

Update: 03/25/10 Daisy IS preggers and her due date is on target. :>) I know that will make a whole lot of people happy! Let's hope she has a big litter!

Update: 03/04/10 They are in together, Daisy is in heat, kind of. One minute she's fighting him off the next she's allowing him. Very strange indeed...I'm not sure accuracy is Express's goal and he might be living up to that name, lol. :>() Awwww it's ok Express you've got about three weeks to get it figured out!

Expecting all Russian blues. All with dumbo ears.

The purpose of the breeding is to continue working to purify this color removing all dinginess from the fur. The conformation and health of this lineage is excellent and both of these ratties are sweet and laid back so I'm hoping they pass these traits down to their offspring.

RDPY Midnight Sparkles
03/04/10 03/28/10 Update: 04/01/10 Sparkles has two boys and three girls. I've given her five of Daisy's babies to raise to help her out.

Update: 03/28/10 Sparkles took me by surprise and has had her babies. I didn't think she was ready yet because she wasn't very big. She wasn't very big because she only had five babies. This is actually a good thing as now I can give her some of Daisy's babies and maybe one of Michief's too.

Update: 03/25/10 Sparkles has a baby bump but is not as far along as Daisy. I'm revising her due date by a week.

Update: 03/04/10 Ok while Express is busy trying to figure out Daisy's strange behavior of like you, hate you...Sparkles is perched on top of the running wheel looking down at them, out of harms way. She doesn't want any part of their nonsense, lol.

Expecting all Russian blues. All with dumbo ears. Some with blazes.

This color is beautiful and therefore extremely popular

RDPY Gloryade
03/04/10 03/29/10 Update: 04/01/10 Glory had three boys and four girls. I've given two of Michief's babies for her to raise.

Update: 03/30/10 Well I got another surprise. Glory had her babies on the 29th. I thought she was behind a week but it was just a small litter. She had seven little squeakers. As soon as I can see the markings on Daisy's babies I'll give the other Mom's with less babies some of hers to lessen the burden. This is one of the reasons I breed multiple litters at a time so I have other Mothers' to rely on should something unexpected happen.

A few years back I had a situation where the Mom rejected her babies and would not nurse them if I hadn't had another nursing Mother to turn to for help all those babies would have died. I take precautions now and have several Mothers on which to depend.

Update: 03/25/10 Glory is preggers but looks to be a week behind Michief. Unless it's just going to be a small litter. I'm revising her due date by a week.

Update: 03/04/10 They are in together. Nessy is going to be a busy guy, lol.

Expecting all masked ratties, all in black and white. All with dumbo ears.

Purpose for this breeding is to perfect the masked marking. These two ratties demonstrate the two best masks I've produced so far. Hoping to remove mis-markings from the mask keeping them pure across the face.

Update: 04/01/10 Maskerade surprised me with nine little squeakers! April Fools on me!!

Update: 04/01/10 Maskerade is indeed preggers, she is really showing the last couple of days.

Update: 03/25/10 Maskerade does not look preggers. I've removed the other girls out of the breeding unit because they are both preggers and maybe if Maskerade and Nessy have privacy she'll warm up to him more, lol.

Update: 03/04/10 They are in together.

Expecting all masked ratties, all in black and white. All with dumbo ears.

Purpose for this breeding is to perfect the masked marking. These two ratties demonstrate the two best masks I've produced so far. Hoping to remove mis-markings from the mask keeping them pure acrossed the face.

Maskerade just turned one. This is her second litter. The litter will be small in size due to her age. She was a good Mom the first time around and her health has been excellent.

This will be Treasures second and final litter. I'm hoping for some masks in Russian blue and some in black and white. Expecting masked ratties, BEW's, and mismarked Dalmatians, and other unique facial markings. All with dumbo ears.

Purpose for this breeding is try and get more ratties with unique and distinct facial markings, while keeping excellent conformation health and temperament of the lineage.
Taking reservations for both genders.

Available early Febuary


Understanding my breeding schedule
Terminology for 2010:

Taking reservations means my waiting list is still open.

Taking reservations for a specific gender means I still have spots on my waiting list for a specific gender.

All the babies are now reserved - means people have shown an interest in a ratlet and in many cases have paid for them and are waiting for pickup or delivery though they may still be living at the rattery.

All the babies have now gone to their forever homes means the ratlet is no longer living here and lives with it's new parents.

Available means the ratlet has not been spoken for yet and you can contact me to reserve it.

RDPY TBA means the person has reserved the ratlet but has not chosen a name for it yet.


I do limited breeding during the summer months, but when I do have something available you will need to come to my location to pick them up.

I will be doing deliveries downstate to my Mom's in East Lansing on the following dates:

September 11th 12-pm-6pm
September 12th 1pm-5pm

Saturday October 23rd 12pm-6pm
Sunday October 24th 11am-1pm

Saturday November 20th 12pm-6pm
Sunday November 21st 11am-1pm

Saturday December 18th 12pm-6pm
Sunday December 19th 11am-1pm

To Mapquest her approximate location and distance put: 16400 Upton Rd, East Lansing Michigan 48823. I will provide her exact address when final arrangements are made.

I'm requiring a 5 dollar delivery fee be added for each ratlet I transport down state, this is to cover my gas to and from. So if you are receiving a pair of rittens the total would be 40 per pair to deliver them downstate. (The cost is only 30 if you come to my location to pick them up.)

I try to divide the gas costs fairly between all interested parties so I don't burden just one person with the cost of gas. This has worked out very well in the past. :>)

Payment for ratties being transported needs to be prepaid before the delivery date. Most people just use Paypal to make the payment and I can send you an invoice from Paypal making it easier for you to make payment.

Any products or supplies you order can be paid with Paypal also as they allow you to use a charge card. Or products can also be paid for in cash upon scheduled pickup. I can bring these items with me downstate to save on shipping costs, you just need to let me know what you want ahead of time. I can also custom make carrying pouches in your favorite colors. These are a highly recommended purchase and you can read more about them at my store link.

Upon completing arrangements for pickup each person will be scheduled in a time slot one hour a part from each other. This is because I give one on one attention to each and every person, answering questions, showing proper handling and bonding procedures and going over proper care and health topics.

I take this extra time because I want to make sure my fur kids and their new owners will be contented with each other and my little ratlets will continue to thrive in their new environments.

I'm not just doing this to promote rats as pets, I'm doing this to educate the public on proper care and handling of this unique animal too. They are very intelligent creatures and have feelings and emotions much like a two year old human child. They are not like hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and rabbits, they are friendly and social, and interact and bond with their owners much like dogs do. They can get EXTREMELY attached to their human friends if given the right environment. I help you learn what that environment is.
