I have been struggling all morning with how to make this post, there is no easy way! After a busy day out of town yesterday I found during my checks last night that due to a catastrophic issue with our new watering system we lost a big chunk of our female population yesterday! This is absolutely devastating for us as all our Rats are kept in our home and are our pets. So every one is near and dear to our hearts! We are not a large operation so needless to say this will be a huge hit to our baby production for a while! We will be rebuilding and making corrections to prevent this being a possibility in the future but in the meantime we will be not taking reservations for babies they will be made available when ready for pick up when we have a surplus after rebuilding our breeding stock!
We did have our female growout cage effected by this as well, there were fortunately only a few reserved babies lost but we did lose a few of our babies that were waiting to go home so I will be reaching out to those affected as soon as I finish here!
Please be kind our hearts are very broken as we have hand raised these babies in our home they are part of our family and have left a huge hole in our hearts!
Thank you for your patience while we work through this setback!
