ALL RAT RATTERY

GET TO KNOW ME AND WHY I CHOSE RATS

AKA "The Crazy Rat Lady" as my friends call me.

My passion for rats began in 2010. Living in a flat, where I was never allowed pets, was hard. Having grown up with pets all my life, I decided to buy two "feeder" rats.

My "heart rat" as they say, was a little black hooded "Ratatouille" who I nicknamed Touie, and an even smaller black self who I named "Baby". I had had them just a week, and little Baby, due to awful respiratory issues, passed away in my hands. That was my first heartache with rats, and I knew it wouldn't be my last.

Touie passed in October of 2012 and took my heart with him.

Over the years I’ve adopted more rats and lost rats, had a break from rats and even rescued a wild rat who I named "Olive".

All of my losses have been due to health related issues, and by starting up this Rattery, my goal was to breed rats for not only health but for temperament and conformation.

I have been really fortunate enough, to have had the opportunity, to meet and work closely with, Imagine Rattery, who I am proud to call my "Sister Rattery".
