Let’s have a serious talk…
For the last 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all of you and providing sweet pets for your family ❤️
The last 5 years have been one of the best in my life. I have a supportive partner who, despite being allergic to rats, never once discouraged me from breeding because he saw how happy it makes me.
Some of you have already messaged me asking why I’ve been getting rid of many supplies, cages, rats, so….
Now the serious part…..
I’ve decided that my rat breeding journey has come to an end. Not because I don’t enjoy it, and not because of any of you. Realistically, finances haven’t been the greatest. I don’t breed frequently enough to justify the expenses, and I don’t want to have more litters at a time than I currently do. It’s exhausting keeping up with the current ones let alone more.
I’m ready to have my full Saturdays back instead of cleaning for 2-3hrs at a time. I’m ready to have more freedom and less responsibility. It’s simultaneously a weight off my chest and a saddening feeling in my heart. Ultimately I know it’s the right choice for me and my family, even though it hurts.
I never thought I’d be here writing this post. Honestly, it’s a hobby I’ve never felt the need to give up on. As someone with ADHD and with tens of unfinished projects - that’s saying something! I’ve been passionate about rats dating back to when I worked in necropsy at CRL. I’ll never stop learning, and I’ll continue to share knowledge and participate in the community.
Who knows if I’ll be back. Maybe when we are in a better place, but for now we have cleared house and the only ones left are the current litter..and Pyro. She’s been nannying the girls, and has done one heck of a job with them. She will need to be homed with at least 1 female from the litters.
We will determine who all is able to leave by next week. There are a couple I’ve been eyeing that may need to stay longer to ensure good health.
That being said… many, many of you have expressed interest in bringing some of these babies home. We appreciate all of your support. A separate post will be made regarding how we will proceed with the last 2 litters we have, as we plan to do things slightly differently. Keep a look out to know how to secure some!
While we are getting out of breeding, we have a new venture in 3D printing. This page will stay up, and my website will temporarily be taken down. We have some great ideas but we need to sort things out first, it’s going to take time to learn more about how to create STLs, CAD, and all that… be patient with us and we will in turn provide some useful products to you in the future xx
*edit* for those who don’t know who to go to outside of myself, please check out Cosmic Bliss Rattery - Michigan and Saturn's Rings Rattery for your future ratty needs!
