HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!
We're ready to breed a couple of dwarf litters this month to be available in March 2008.
Inquire!
March 8, 2008 - RATSPACNW RAT SHOW.
*We breed critters only occasionally, so we cannot guarantee we'll have any available when you're looking. But you're always welcome to drop us an email and we'll get back to you if we have what you're looking for. This year we plan to breed only dwarf rats and those with the longer Harley-coat. |

DWARF RATS - Small, Cute and Funny! |
|
|
|
Dwarf Rats
MAKE
Great Pocket Pets!
One third to half of the size of full-sized rats, the
puppy-like personality of dwarf rats make them our favorite. If you don't have room for larger animals,
a pair or trio of dwarf rats can fit into hamster cages!
They have good health!
Scientists say they have a extreamly
reduced rate of mammary cancer.
We started our line in mid-2003 from two rare dwarf rats from CA. Now our dwarf rats are both champion exhibition animals and prized pets. Though still rare, they can be found in ratterys in the USA. |

A Very Rare Variety! LONG HAIR or HARLEY COATED RATS |
|
|
|
Fact: Beautiful Harley-coated rats were discovered by our rattery in mid-2002. The first was named Harley. It's believed that the longer wispier coat is a new mutation found to be caused by a pair of recessive genes. Though extreamly sweet and gentle natured, it's been reported that some females have had reduced milk production and others have had less hearty immune systems. Hobbyists around the world continue to breed for improved health and longevity. |

HAIRLESS UPDATE
Spring 2007
No Hairless Rats Available |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fact: The health and temperament of hairless rats vary around the United States. Some hairless females fail to lactate or produce enough milk for their babies. Hairless rats need a little more warmth, food and water than standard rats. |
