Hey guys

well I figure its about time I posted an update to let you know whats going on. I currently have no rats and I am currently not breeding. I do hope to restart within 2-3 years. But for now my website is just a wealth of knowledge :) so am I by the way haha. I am still willing to help anyone who has questions. I am receiving tons of applications but I am sorry that I have no rats available.

As I start to work on restarting I will be making some changes to my website. Also I am no longer in Ontario long story short, I am currently in Nova Scotia but in a few years time who knows I might go back to ontario or I might stay in Nova Scotia. only time will tell where I will end up haha.

well thats all I have to say on the matter for now.
hope you are all having a wonderful ratastic day ^__^

Hey Guys,

Sorry I have Sorta been MIA this month. I have been busy busy busy. So here is what's new, I am moving to a new location. Once we have moved everything in and I have had a chance to get everything set up I will Post updated pictures of my set up. 

Also I am going to be doing a shipment to AND from Arizona this upcoming spring, so to the people on my wait list, I will be doing some pairings in the next few months so I may have some babies that you may choose from. The person I am shipping to will get first pick of the litters as she is a breeder. With this shipment I will be bringing in some new colors and fur types, so I will be working with some different colors and fur textures once they arrive :)


 I want to Thank everyone for supporting me for My first year of breeding. ^__^

Seasons greetings and some news

Hi Everyone

I hate to be the barer of bad news but unfortunately CREW Blossom had a VERY difficult delivery and the babies did not survive birthing. Also it would seem as though CREW Daphne is not pregnant either, so no dwarf babies for me. On a brighter note, Blossom is recovering and is doing well after her VERY rough day. 

My next Pairing will be in January between CREW Luna and CREW Gizmo (with permission from Amanda - Thanks by the way ^__^ ) With this breeding I hope to get more Hairless to work with, and send to Amanda in the spring. 

In January I will be doing 2 pairings and the second one will be between CREW Daphne and CREW Ash, in the hopes of getting more dwarf ratties to work with. For the year 2015 I will be keeping ALL Dwarf rats to further my lines. If I do have any available for adoption I will post them as available, otherwise please do not ask for them.

If you are on my wait list, Thank-you soooooo much for being patient with me as I expand.
I will be getting a few new specialties in the spring so stay tuned :)

I would like to send out a thank you to Amanda, my co-workers, my friends, my family and my adopters for supporting me and making my first year of operations successful :)

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and wish everyone the best in the new years ^__^

WE HAVE DWARFS! and 2 available male cuties :P all in the same litter too ;)

6/14/2014

So, I didn't realize this until the other day, when I had 2 of Luna's babies out and I noticed how big the one was getting and how small the other one was staying. Only then did I realize that I have dwarf babies. 

So for the next few years most (if not all) dwarfs that are born here will be staying here to be bred, as they tend to be harder to breed and when you do successfully breed them, they tend to have tiny litters.

Also I still have 2 of Luna's boys available for adoption. They are both Burmese Irish dumbo, and are very kissy sweet boys. If I had room to keep them I probably would :P

In order to adopt these 2 cutie's all I ask is for you to fill out an adoption application which I will then review and once you pay the adoption fee, and come pick them up then they are all yours :)

CREW Luna's Litter Pics and other updates

5/20/2014

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone,

I have finally updated the pictures on the litter. So now you can see all the babies individually. Sorry about the picture quality... I will try to see if I can get better shots... but no guarantee's :) 

If you are interested in adopting any, then please fill out the adoption form to get onto my wait list. People on my wait list second pick of the litter (I get first pick). Then if there are any babies left then I will open up the adoptions to other people who are interested and have filled out the adoption form. 

Also If anyone is interested in how the mouse is doing, I will be posting pictures on another page :) 

On a sad note.... 
I lost RRR Louis on Saturday May 10th to a respiratory disease. As for future breeding's I will be breeding CREW Luna to one of her sons in August when the become of age.

I am also selling 5lb bags of Rat food - Rattie and Matties Rattery homemade feed mix
for $20.00 and considering Regal rat adult rat food sells their 3lb bags for $15.00 You will be saving money and getting an additional 2lbs of food, as well as helping to support the rattery, as all the money goes towards caring for the rats.

Also, all rats will be going home with a trial size bag of feed mix for free, just to get them started :)

CREW Luna's first litter

5/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone, I have been busy here,  CREW Luna has had her first litter of 7 babies. They were born on April 26th and there are 4 boys and 3 girls. Their fur has started to come in and most of them have Irish markings, there is 1 boy who only has white toes (I am thinking of keeping him) and 1 female who has all white paws but no tummy markings (thinking of keeping her). Also by the looks of things I have mostly burmese varying in shades and MAYBE a 1-3 siamese. It is still early, so I will be able to tell more later on. I will be posting their individual pictures around May 16 to their litter page

Another update is that on top of Luna having her babies, she also has been fostering a baby mouse for me. The mouse is doing great and is thriving. 

I have also sent out my first Newsletter letting the people who have contacted me that Luna has had her babies and will be ready for reservation on May 24. If you would like to receive a newsletter, Please contact me to let me know and I will add you to my email list.

Also I would like to remind that if anyone is interested in adopting from me in the future, please fill out the adoption application and send it to ratcrew.rattery@yahoo.ca 

Thank you for your support :)
hope to hear from you all soon ^_^

Rattery Updates 

3/10/2014

Well once again it looks as though RAMR Mary either reabsorbed the litter, or the pregnancy did not take as well as we thought it did. I will be waiting a few more days just to be on the safe side and then I will be retiring her and putting her back in with the rest of my girls. 

On a better note, I have made a few changes over the last month. I have switched to Aspen bedding, as the care fresh bedding was really dusty and was making everyone sneeze.

Also I have made a few changes on the webpage :). I have added pages and have moved around sections of the site so as to clean up the over all look of the website and to make it easier to navigate and read. 

My next pairing will be happening in May - once CREW Luna comes of breeding age. 

If she has females I will be keeping most of them, to continue my lines.

If anyone would like to be put onto my waitlist then please fill out an adoption application and e-mail it to me at ratcrew.rattery@yahoo.ca
