Precious Jems Rattery

Precious Jems Rattery Precious Jems is a small hobby rattery dedicated to raising quality fancy rats for pets and show in Central Oregon. Temperament and health comes first.

Dedicated to raising quality fancy rats for pet and show. I raise merle and varigated patterned rats in cinnamon, mink and pearl in a combination of colors and patterns with cinnamon pearl being my main focus at this time. Most of my varigateds are black, but I do get the occasional mink, red eye dilute and other combinations. I also work with standard coat, velveteen coat, standard ear and dumbo

ear. I don't require a long, drawn out application to purchase rats from me, but I do ask some questions to be sure my animals are going to responsible, loving homes. I request those who buy rats from me to please let me know first if you can no longer keep your pet. I guarantee that each rat I sell is healthy when it leaves my hands. I will be happy to share my knowledge and experience to help you keep your rat that way. I won't take your money and disappear. I cannot guarantee that your rat will not develop a upper respiratory infection at any time and I cannot guarantee your rat will not develop cancer. The mycoplasma that causes the respiratory infections exist in all domestic rats. I do my best to breed only rats that show a naturally strong immune system. This means that they have never been sick or, got a mild URI and got over it on their own I do not casually use antiiotics in my rattery. . Cancer is just impossible to breed out. I do guarantee temperament. If a rat you purchase from me develops aggressive behavior, I will take it back and I will replace it. If you have any questions about my rattery, please message me. I am happy to talk about my rats and my breeding program.

Sneak peak at the adorable ness of my newest litter born May 4th. The girls might be spoken for. Not positive yet. There will be 3 pairs of boys ready to pack their bags June 22. At least one boy is a dwarf and he is absolutely darling ❤️

Went home!
DOB: 2/26/25 siamese 3/8/25

The first 3 come from a Harley project I had been playing with. The last is a sister to the boys I just posted. All are very outgoing, social butterflies.
No fear in any of them. Just curious and gregarious. ❤️
The Harley gene is new to me and while I love their cute scruffiness, I’m not sure how deep I will be getting into them. Harley rats tend to have sensitive skin and coats. They are prone to flakey, scabby skin and do much better on a lower protein, higher omega fatty acid and amino acids diet. Not something I really have the space and ability to really work hard on to improve (if that’s possible). I would like the 2 harleys to go together so their diet can be easily managed. The darling little black girl has already developed a few scabs, so she’s telling me she’s ready to go on a lower protein diet. Speaking of her, she is missing part of her tail from her mom being a bit over enthusiastic in cleaning her when she was born. It just adds to her adorable character

And here is the first post!
DOB: 3/8/25
Black variberk dumbo

These two boys are offspring from a lovely little lady I took in as a rescue. Their momma is one of the sweetest, most trusting mothers I’ve had in quite awhile. Despite not knowing me that long, she happily shared her brand new babies with me and tried adding my hand to her nest constantly. Often, washing my fingers right along with them. lol!
These 2 darlings are a bit shy, but once picked up, they melt in my hands. It doesn’t take them too long before they’ll start bruxing. They just have a bit of cautiousness at first. With their own person giving them attention regularly, I have no doubt they will grow out of this phase quickly.
I just love their beautiful spotty patterns on their sides.

Happy May everyone! After taking time off over the fall and winter, I have enjoyed raising 4 litters of little beauties so far. They never made it to being posted here since they were all spoken for before I could do so. I’ve also been going through a lot of personal struggles, so I haven’t been keeping up on this page the way I wanted to. For that, I apologize.
I am currently ,very very behind in posting about my most recent litters. They are already 7 and 8 weeks old. It took far too long to take photos and make final decisions on who was staying. Just too many things going on all at once.
I finally have all that figured out and will be posting photos of 2 darling boys and several gorgeous girls who are more than ready to find their very own people, tomorrow.
So, if you’re ready to welcome home some new babies, watch for my next post coming soon.

Hi everyone. I apologize for not posting pics of the summer litters like I promised. I take care of my mom who is dealing with cancer and I myself, have health issues of which, have been giving me a lot of trouble lately. Between my mom’s bimonthly chemo and doctor appointments, 2 hospitalizations, my own appointments and flare ups, plus family visiting, etc. I just didn’t have time.
These 2 litters did get lots of time spent with them. Including several bonding bag sessions. They have become outgoing, very friendly kids.
On top of that, I’ve had so many fantastic people who contacted me before the litters were weaned, wanting babies, I wasn’t sure if I was going to have anything left to post!
All that said, I do have one pair of girls and one pair of boys that are now 7 weeks old and ready to find their own loving family. The girls are both from Kitti’s litter and are off black in color. It’s possible they may be low expression snowflake like their daddy, Jette. If so, they may end up
Looking similar to Jette. Black with off black belly, sides and possibly patches on the body. Scattered white hairs may appear as they mature.
The 2 boys are from Nibs’s litter. One chocolate and one black. All 4 of these kids are very playful and absolutely love being tickled, wrestled with, then cuddled when they get tired.
Message me for more information

I’m excited to announce that both summer litters of 2024 have arrived.
I mistakenly said Kit Kat was expecting, but I meant her sister, Nibs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t know how I got them mixed up. lol
Kitti had a healthy litter of 13 July 26th. Nibs decided to have her litter the following day on July 27th. She had 17, but one was stillborn. With a litter this large, not all babies always survive. I’m keeping a close eye on mom and babies.

I’ll be posting pics of the babes when their eyes open, so stay tuned!

Babies on board! I’m happy to announce we’re expecting! Nibs and Kitti should be due around the second week of August.
Nibs is a minimally marked chocolate snowflake. Kitti is a black eyed chocolate tonkinese. Dad is Jette, a minimally marked black snowflake. These guys have that wonderful puppy dog temperament, so I’m really looking forward to these babies. Possible colors I know of will be chocolate, tonkinese, chocolate tonkinese and black. Any of these colors may or may not have snowflake pattern characteristics. Other recessive colors are possible, but I won’t try to guess. lol

Stay tuned for birth announcement

Here’s some cute examples of how “laid back” Paisley’s litter is. They all just roll over on their backs and groom my fingers, while I give them tummy scritches. ❤️❤️

Okay, here they are! 4 precious, sweet little girls. By far, the snuggliest baby girls I’ve ever had. That’s definitely due to their mamma, who is the most chill, snuggly girl I’ve had in years. They are very outgoing and personable. The only one that shows a bit of lack of confidence is the black variegated. She gets a bit timid when I go to pick her up to bring her out of the cage. Not always, just here and there. Once she’s out and in the bonding bag, she does well. She just needs some daily handling and to bond with her person. She’s really not afraid or shy. Kind like the bashful kid in class. lol
Just PM me if you’d like to add a few of these sweethearts to your family! I’m happy to answer any questions as always.

Heads up! I have a beautiful litter of girls I will be posting this evening. I haven’t made any posts about them until now, because it was an accidental litter. Long story short, I have an older dwarf boy who has never been able to sire a litter when I’ve tried. He’s been living with some of my pet girls in my bedroom for over a year with no pregnancies. So, I figured he was sterile. Well, when I had brought my new marble girl, Paisley home, I put her in that group. After 6 weeks, I was shocked to see that she was pregnant! My guess is my little dwarf guy must have really hit it off with her and she was small enough? I’m not real sure as I had tried to breed him to dwarf does in the past as well without any luck.
I was horrified at first since she was so young, but am absolutely thrilled with this litter. They are so much like their mom! Very lovey and cuddly. I’ve never had so many kids in one litter that are so comfortable with me, that they lie on their backs and pass out in my hands. I’m trying very hard not to keep more than 4. lol!
I’m looking forward to posting these darlings tonight and finding them perfect people to love them. They really are a treasure. Stay tuned!

Updated photos of the drop dead gorgeous chocolate and chocolate tonkinese boys. Born April 1st, these beautiful guys are shed out into their lovely adult coats, but are still very young, full of love and playful energy.
I have tried my best to not get attached, but unfortunately, it happened. I have decided to Lee one of the chocolate tonkinese boys. These guys are so much fun. Did I mention, gorgeous? There are 3 chocolate silver (snowflake) and 2 chocolate tonkinese boys who desperately want a person of their own to love. Message me about discounts. I really want to get these guys in loving 🏡
Photos are a bit dark as it was getting kinda late last night when I took them.

I can’t recommend these bonding bags enough. The best! They are so cozy for the rats and so well made. These cuties got to spend some time with me last night. When they wore out from play time, they went right into the bag and took a nap.
If you don’t have a bonding bag, I urge you to get one of these. They come in 2 sizes. I have the large. Lots of cute patterns to choose from.
