❌ APPLICATIONS CLOSED ❌

best part of setting up new cage layouts is watching them explore 🥰

worst part is dropping perspex on your head and slicing it 🤕

EDITED TO ADD: the kittens are to be s*x split in a few days, this enclosure is more than enough for them as a temporary measure. Thank you all for your concern

My applications are currently ❌CLOSED❌, as per my bio, both of my pinned posts and my automated message.

They were open briefly as I had recently moved to the North East and wanted to bridge the several year long gap for ethically bred rats in the region.

However I am a small scale breeder and do not breed to fulfil demand. I’ve only had 3 litters this round, and I need to pick keepers for my rattery plans. This will leave some pet homes in my homing group without, as I am currently oversubscribed.

Asking for an application despite being told that they’re closed multiple times will not change the fact that they’re closed because I don’t have a surplus of rats to home.

Asking when they’ll re open again is simply asking how long a piece of string is. I don’t have an answer for that unfortunately.

I work full time, live an incredibly busy life - keeping rats and running a rattery is simply a hobby I fit in between everything.

I understand that this may be disappointing, but I refuse to compromise on my standards and will not breed to fill demand.

You will also likely need to travel for well bred rats, please check out Twin Squeaks Rattery in Hull, Gallifrey Stud in Yorkshire, various Midlands Rat Club registered breeders/ members in the Midlands, and various breeders in Scotland.

MRC Cup Show 3rd October 2026

Ventured down to my first MRC show yesterday - it was a very busy show, with lots of exhibitors and show attendees. It was really interesting to see how MRC shows ran compared to NFRS and NERS too. Always lovely meeting friends old and new!

I only had capacity to bring three rats, so grannies 2C and Sabrina made it to the bench, as did Theo who Angela liked two weeks before (shock she didn’t like him this time) 😂

Don’t think I’ve seen much buff before, so seeing 11 on the bench was quite something 🙈

🥇Agouti
🥇AOV AA

Wildflower Gluteny Is A Sin

Pictures taken at the show, I couldn’t bring the trophies home with me on the train. Plus some bonus silly boys in tanks

We’ll not talk about the train journey home 🫠

NERS Carlisle 19th September 2026

Only brought 4 rats to this show and didn’t enter any in pets as my best rats are on litters just now. The pet judge told me after judging was over that had my bucks been entered in pets, they would’ve done quite well under her on the day 🙈 - I’ll know for next time I guess!

Halcyon Geeze
🥇Golden Himalayan🌟
🥇Shaded AA
🥇Rare Variety (couldn’t fit the rosette or card in the light box)
🥇✨Best in Show ✨🌟
(I promise she’s a lot more golden in person, these pictures wash her out!)

Wildflower Gluteny Is A Sin
🥇Wheaten 🌟
🥈Shaded AA
🥈✨Reserve Best in Show✨🌟

Halcyon Beeze
🥇 Himalayan 🌟
🥉Shaded AA

Can’t take credit for Geeze’s win as I didn’t breed her. Really chuffed with how her and Theo did though 🥰
