One of my lovely owners is sadly about to find himself with a lone doe. She is of course welcome back here but at 2 years old and with our imminent move and upheaval I think she’d benefit from a loving pet home.

She’s a chestnut and wasn’t originally from my lines but another local breeder. She’s healthy, happy and keen to come out for cuddles. Her owner tells me that she does have a small benign lump (armpit) but that it’s not grown and due to age has chosen to leave it.

She’s in Stafford area currently and I’ll pass over her owners email to anyone interested in offering her a home.

It’s been a little while since I last updated. We had hoped to have loved house and been ready to restart our breeding plans by now but sadly still waiting.

However I do now have these two does to introduce- two future breeding does from the Essex line that Debbie at Beltane has kindly been looking after for me.

Welcome Phoenix and Jenesis (Nix and Jenny for short)

This wonderful doe, Mabel, has sadly found herself alone after losing her litter mate recently. She’s with a fab owner who would love for her to go in with another group as she’s still so active and healthy. She has a lovely temperament and will make someone a lovely addition to their group.

Sadly with my house move coming up I don’t have the extra space just yet to take her back.

Message me directly if you are open to offering her a forever home.

Another breeder and friend has some buck kittens available. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll give you more details and can put you in touch.

I’m working on posting the link to the form in just a short while. The form will be open for a few days (maybe a week) to allow everyone time to fill it in if they want to be considered for babies.

Due to a badly planned trip away and a house move on the cards Debbie at Beltane will be taking care of the babies alongside her own. It means that we have more kittens to offer to new homes and can mix them up a little too.

I’ll post a link below to her post with the little ones having a great time. Collection will be from Netherton, Dudley so if this is a problem please do not fill out the form. I’d hate to disappoint anyone.

We won’t be sharing and replying to forms until I return at which point we will contact everyone so don’t worry if you don’t get a reply just yet.

Two pairs of bucks and a trio of does, although I could make two pairs with another agouti doe if two people were interested. All on the older side but healthy and lovely tempered.

Kitten applications will be open very soon once we know which are being kept for future breeding.

If anyone is looking for older rats as company I have a few groups that are available. I’d like them to go to nice retirement loving homes before we move house here and it all gets a little manic. We have pairs or more of both sexes.

I’ll post some photos later on today. These will just be first come first served.

The little ones have been doing brilliantly. They are getting a hint of their fur coming through and already show which will be essex marked. There seems to be a pretty even split between the sexes too. I initially miscounted as there are actually 10 not 9..

Yesterday we finally had some exciting news. 9 healthy happy babies born.

I’ve received quite a few enquiries later with people asking about needing rats for company. Although I rarely have kittens, on occasion I may be able offer out retired breeding does or rats that will not be used in my breeding plans (for a miriad of reasons- usually just that I have kept a few and the others are slightly better type. )

I’m always happy to have a chat about these if anyone is interested.
