Straw Hat Rats

05/09/2023

I have 3 adult boys looking for a new home, they are all friendly but will need a more confident home as Ace can be a bit hand shy :) Sanji is a massive sweetie and Geralt is just lovely :) we have Straw Hats Portgas D. Ace - Russian Dove, Straw Hats Geralt of Rivia - buff and Straw Hats Vinsmoke Sanji - Russian buff :) please pop me a message if you're interested in them :)

Just a cute little dumbo doe from the Acies litter 🥺 babies are growing fast, we had some losses in the Sannies litter and we only have 3 does remaining. But the Mum is doing well, she's back with her friends and Sabi has taken her three beans under her wing :) Sabi is a very relaxed Mum, happy for me to peel the kittens of her whilst she's feeding when I need to do eye drops for one of her babies 😂 she seems to be living motherhood ❤️

I know a few people popped me messages lately with regards to kittens and I have been awful at replying. I get quite a lot messages so I don't regularly check my inbox, the best way to make sure you get considered for any of my babies is to fill in the form. I don't tend to check them very regularly but I will check them prior to assigning kittens and will invite everyone to the group before that too. So as long as I have your form filled in you will be able to express interest in current litters. My next litters are planned for early New Year so if you don't be assigned kittens there's a good chance you may get them from next litters. I also cooperate with Shannah at Storm in a Teacup so she may have some kittens available too :)

Acies are doing fabulous and growing fast :) they are 9 days old now and have entered velvet hippos stage now :) they are all black and we have 5 dumbo does, 3 top eared does and 2 top eared bucks :)

Last Sunday we have also welcomed Sannies. Bonnie didn't have an easy birth but we have 5 perfect fattos growing super fast now :) we have 4 top eared does and 1 top eared buck :) considering she felt very rough herself, Bonnie is doing a fabulous job and taking great care of her beans. She does have a bit of temporary hate for me though as I have been forcing down horrible tasting antibiotics and palpating her all over whenever I have a chance 😂

On Wednesday night we have welcomed Abies litter :) there's 8 does and 2 boys in both top and dumbo ears. Sabi is a fantastic mum so far, all babies have very fat bellies and look all nice and healthy :)

Bonnie is looking very promising so finger crossed she'll have safe delivery within the next couple days 🤞🤞🤞

On another note - I know I have received a lot of messages and emails lately and I've not replied to any. I'm sorry, I'm just really not great at social media at the moment but I will find some time to go through it and reply to you all :)

Hi guys :) I have 3 does in one of my pet homes looking for a new home. The current owner had a change of circumstances which means she has to re-home them :) they are from my last silken litters and they are all top eared, agouti and two black does :) please message me for more details :)

Like father like son 🤦‍♀️😂 featuring SHR Jinbe and SHR Sanji

Hi guys :) I'm going to have a couple of adult does, 18 months old, come back to me as current (fabulous may I add) owner is not planning to keep more rats and felt girls would do much better in a home with other rats :) if you are interested in taking some oldies please let me know and I can send you some photos and have a chat with you :)

Girls are Russian buff roan dumbo and topaz roan which effectively are white. One of them, Dimple, was injured at birth so she doesn't have one of her eyes, it never stopped her from being the most amusing and mischievous as a kitten. Buttons has recently had a glaucoma come up - it seems that it's asymptomatic which they often are in rats. I'll try to link the original post with more information :).

My second buck keeper is agouti silken. He is not as strongly expressing as Jafar but he is still beautiful and has lovely temperament :)

Meet Iago The Pretty Polly :)

I'm so excited to announce my first keeper from the silken litters :D do the first boy is a black silken, her is absolutely lovely and sweet ❤️ I'm very excited to see how his silkening progresses with his age ❤️

Meet Straw Hat Rats Jafar The Sultan's Vizier

I really could melt away just looking at him 😍

EDIT: Boys are no longer available ;)

First time for everything!

I have a trio of does and trio of bucks available from the current litters :) if you're interested in having some pop us a message and fill in the form :) I cannot guarantee one will be a silken but I will certainly try :)

Available varieties would be agouti, black or silken, dumbos potentially available :)

I have been utterly hopeless with updating you guys about current litters! But they are doing very well - we have Sujis which are from Zephyr Ursula The Sea Witch to Straw Hats Jinbe The Sea Knight pairing and Hawlies which are from Zephyr Maleficent The Fallen Fairy to Arkenstone Dracule Mihawk. They are all over 3 weeks old, there is 13 Sujis and 16 Hawlies and they are growing fast! Video of their first free roam couple days ago and another from when I merged the litters and made up a bit more fun cage for them :) enjoy :D

I have been quite a bit busy lately so haven't had a second to share the great news - our first silken litters have been born and they are doing fantastic so far ❤️

The first litter to introduce are Sujis - a pairing of Zephyr Ursula The Sea Witch and Straw Hat Rats Jinbe The Sea Knight. They were born on 9th of May and they've grown super fast! We have 7 silkens and 6 standard rats in black and agouti :) I'm so very proud of how well Suli is doing, she's done a great job as a Mum so far ❤️

In the photos you can see the comparison on black silken to a black kitten and the same with agouti :)

Introducing the first keeper - Filippa Eilhart of Montecalvo aka Fli (read like flea). She's a buff dumbo and the cutest looking rat I ever bred! I just love her 😍

Big day today Jellies and Enollys have been merged, their setup has been upgraded to slow them to climb and play safely and they also had their first free roam! A lot of excitement and happy rats here :) Jinas have opened their eyes over the weekend and soon will also join the big kittens cage :)

05/03/2022

Jellies are growing super fast and super cute! Don't get fooled by the photo, there are still 10 of them, 4 Russian buffs, 1 Russian Dove and 5 Russian Blues. They are nearing the time when they'll open their eyes and the real fun will begin :)

28/02/2022

On Saturday Jinas have joined our born litters! Edna gave birth to 11 babies, some a bit bruised with one bean having quite severely bruised face. So far he's doing great and nursing well. Given Edna and Jinbe are both dumbos we are expecting full dumbo litter with varieties being black, Russian blue, Russian buff and buff. This is our third and last expected litter, bringing the tally to 32 kittens born 😂 I don't think we are likely ever to repeat this 😂

Being Edna's and Jinbe's babies they of course don't line up 🤦‍♀️😂
