Tootsie Roll Rats

4 girls from the 2 litters last year (June and July 21 babies) were recently returned to me. I would give favor to anyone interested in adopting the 4 together but would split them into 2 and 2 if I have to. I will update with photos tomorrow. ❤️

Hello TRR followers! It’s been 3 months since I posted, despite promising to post more.

Unfortunately, things at this time have taken a front seat in life and put breeding projects on hold. I am finishing the semester of my undergraduate studies and starting to apply for grad school, working through an internship, enjoying participating in various rescue missions and taking in fosters, on top of caring for my own large and busy family and dealing with personal life struggles we all encounter.

At this time, I don’t honestly have any pairings planned and to be transparent, I’m unsure if I will in the future. I know my venture has been short thus far, and I adore my rats and appreciate the hard work of ethical breeders but I’m unsure that the need for breeding right now warrants the work I will put into it.

I’m finding a lot of fulfillment in both my area of study (Social Work) and changing small animals lives who are put into unfortunate circumstances to no fault of their own while also focusing on the needs of my family.

I wish you all well, and hope you have an amazing holiday season! 🎄

I’ve been busy with school and family and trying to juggle everything so I apologize for the long pause. Here’s an update on how this little one is though, I’ll try to be more active in the future. ❤️

Update on Rues boys from the Silvermane litter! Aren’t they beautiful?! 😍 My lovely friend Amanda Decker is helping me monitor their health and temperament and either of us could be more pleased!

RIP Audi. 4 months is all I got with you but the love I had for you could have lasted a lifetime. Say hi to Poppy, Penny and Mr. J for me… 🌈

The girls are much more active to capture today so here’s the best I got! Introducing KnR Ratties Audi! This Agouti Bristle Silvermane doe is gorgeous and photos do not do her justice. ❤️🐀

Violets babies are 3.5 weeks! They’re climbing and playing and exploring and digging. I had so much fun photographing them today and seeing their personalities shine! This is the most adorably sweet litter, calm and affectionate. ❤️

So many pictures I took tonight! We have some with peepers, one who’s possibly a runt or failure to thrive (also who’s the only Harley baby of the littler 😭), and a mix of cinnamon, russian cinnamon, blue and a single PEW girl. Such a beautiful litter! 🐀

Babies getting hair! I have a small list of recessives they carry, but it’ll be fun to see what they give. I already see some surprises in this litter. 😬

I was able to get a count and it looks like 4 boys and 9 girls! 😳 We have 1 Ruby eyed baby in the whole bunch. It’ll be fun to watch them grow!
