LOL, I think everyone needs some dumbo eared ones- they are *so* adorable.
(I really prefer the even-coated ones, but that is just taste
I've been patchy myself for ages and quite bored with that look. )

Lol the one that was supposed to be neverous reminds me of my old rat Destiny and the only thing that makes them look a little alike is the fact they are blue haha. I tend to like the hooded rats really.
I realized I missed having nice rats! I had another group the other year but they just werenāt personable enough. My friend had a cage of girls so she took my old group.
Donāt let me get more
The cage is now full with 4 and Iām not sure where Iād put another rat cage so I think Iāll be safe from any more rat additions haha
Donāt let me get more
Haha, the "I'm not sure where I'd put another cage" tells me there may be room for just one more cage
Oh, that FACE! Precious. So little and vulnerable and sweet, looking up so endearingly.

A pet rat was my first pet. A champagne female and Iāve had them off and on over the years. These two blues are a little jumpy. They were older than I was expecting so they havenāt been handled enough as babies or the breeder hasnāt learned to cull for temperament either one. They arenāt bitey just a little jumpy. My favorite still has to be the one that escaped the title of feeder and is a little hooded agouti haha. Sheās super sweet but insanely high energy. Her ears swivel and twitch nonstop.

Yeah okay whatever:54:
Set of boys...
And One more girl...
Iām actually planning on setting up a little breeding rat area in the garage now. warm garage not cold....I know this from last winter when I had snakes brumating in there and I was checking temps all the time. So Iāll probably be shifting the skittish blue girl from last time into the garage instead of the kitchen area or maybe not havenāt decided.

They are adorable! We had pet rats when we lived in our "no pets allowed" apartment. I don't do no pets very well, and rats make better pets than hamsters for kids if you ask me .

They really do. I had hamsters and was not a fan. Unfortunately the ferret kept breaking into their cage, so they were just a no pet while the ferrets had their reign of terror haha
These 3 are turning out to be very sweet. Picked them up over the weekend the other photos were the breeders.

Russian blue dumbo male. My mother has stolen this guy already lol

You always have the coolest animals Victoria! Iāve never been into rats, but these are so cute.
Do the snakes know you have all these rats?

All the blues are hanging out together now! The youngest blue will definitely be pregnant now. The older girls were kicking him away for now...poor guy lol
Photos today of the 14! Looks like 4 hooded agouti, 4 hooded blacks and 6 white/light colored ones.

Do you also refer to the young as "rittens" (rat-kittens) like they do overhere?
