Step 2 - Picking out your Rats :)
When I have a litter born, I will send out a mass E-mail to everyone on my wait list and let them know that I have babies that will be available to be reserved soon.
Please note that I am only breeding 2-6 litters a year. So the wait list MIGHT be a bit of a wait. (hence the well deserved name of the list) Please be patient :)
When the babies are 3 weeks old I will post pictures of the babies individually on their litter page.
OR
If you do not wish to pick out your rats based on pictures, you are welcome to pick them out in person by appointment only. There are rules to this however.
~You must not visit any pet stores within 24 hours prior to your appointment
~If you have rats at home please do not handle them within 3 hours prior to your appointment
~Upon arrival I will ask that you wash your hands before handling any of my rats.

Step 3 - Reserve your Rats
Babies can be reserved when they are 4 weeks old.
To reserve your rats:
You must pay a $10 non-refundable deposit per rat, which you have 48 hours to pay or else the rat will become available again for someone else to reserve.
To pay this deposit you can either pay in person (cash, debit or credit) or you can pay through Paypal or e-transfer to: [email protected]

Step 4 - Picking up your Rats ^_^
You can pick up your rats when they are 6 weeks old until they are 8 weeks old. So that is TWO WEEKS. If you do not pick them up by the time they are 8 weeks old, then they will be put back up for adoption. (The only exception is if other arrangements have been made before hand)
We will set up a date and time for us to sit down and go over the contract that you MUST sign before leaving with your new pet.
BEFORE COMING TO THE MEETING:
Please do not visit any pet store within 24 hours of coming over.
Please bring a proper carrier to take your new rat home in.
If you have rats at home PLEASE do not handle them within 3 hours of our meeting.
*These rules are set in place to protect my colony from diseases that can be carried on your clothes for up to 3 hours*
Also all Rats will go home with a small amount of what they are currently eating.
