Sweet Genes Rodentry


Yogie is friendly and fearless!!! He is the first out of the nursery and the first to try new treats, and the first to dive down my shirt!
 
Moe is a real climber too! Inside and outside his cage! Quite a little monkey man!
 
We started this game. They hop onto my lap. I pick up one, kiss his belly, put him down, and while I'm picking the other one up, he popcorns off only to immediately return and we do it again, and again. They seem to LOVE the belly kiss game!
 
Debbie, they are absolutely adorable, healthy, happy little ratties, and I could not be happier with my choice to go to you to obtain them. Thank you so much for making these beautiful, healthy babies, mine.
 
Pat, and the (B)rats

Every time I let them lick my fingers or grab their little faces when they're "tusseling" in their shoe box, I am AMAZED at how gentle they are!!!!! Pinky has a fingernail fetish though. He always tries to grab them like they're "Lee Press On Nails", I DON'T think so. They're just precious little guys and we just love them.
Hi Mom! Happy Holidays!

Pinky and Brain

Our new rats seem to have settled into their new home quite nicely. They're really friendly and sweet. Already when I put my hand in the cage, they run up my arm onto my shoulder! We are very pleased. They both seem perfectly healthy. Thanks for everything Debbie!

Debbie,
just wanted to let you know the rattie boys rode home great and had lots of fun exploring the new cage. I crafted a hammock this evening and they are cuddled up snoozing. My boys did very well with them... My oldest said to me, "thanks so much mom for letting us get rats, they are awesome" :) They both sat glued in front of the cage for about and hour excitedly reporting every tiny event, "look Jake is drinking, look Oscar is on the top, etc. etc."  

Thanks again these boys are beautiful as were the parents and others we saw!!!

Hi Debbie-

Everything is going well with our new little ratties.

The kids really enjoy playing with them and are working on their famous
trick (where the rat climbs into one sweatshirt sleeve, crawls up the arm,
across the chest and back down the other sleeve and out by the other hand.

Thanks for all your advice and breeding such fun rats--

Hi Debbie,
 
I thought you'd like to know that we've named the boys.  The younger one is Colby and the older one is Jack, after one of our favorite cheeses :)  They seem to be adjusting nicely and really are friendly.  My husband is amazed at how friendly Jack and Colby are with us.  I knew the kids would love them but I am surprised at how attached I'm getting to them and it's only been a few days!
 
Thanks,
Jamie

I adopted two lovely boys, one rex and one standard coat. They have really been great, I love them dearly.

.... the boys have really been a joy. Dag is so very sweet and cuddly, and Bowie (the smooth coat) is a wiley adventurer. I swear, there is nothing Bowie can't climb!
 
Thanks so much,
Shelly
I just wanted to let you know Shimmer is still alive and in good health.  I believe she will be 3 this summer.  She has outlived all the rats I had of her generation.  She has never been sick and has always been sweet, gentle, licky, and good with other rats.  I thought you might want to know that for your breeding decisions.  She is one of the very best rats I have ever had, and is one of the main reasons I will keep coming back to you for more rats.  The kids love them.  They are sweet and healthy.
 
You have really achieved something in your breeding to produce a rat like Shimmer.  You have my heartfelt admiration and sincere congratulations.

Just wanted to let you know we love the baby girls!  They are so cute and friendly and love being held and played with.  We actually trimmed their nails today and they were a lot more cooperative then I thought they would be (Kestrel held while I trimmed).   They are eating well and love to sleep in their hammock when they are not playing with Kestrel. Today when I was holding Sandy she crawled right into my shirt pocket and snuggled up to take a nap.  I know you are used to all this, but for us everything they do is a fun treat. 

Thank you so much for giving us such great pets.

The rats are doing great and growing by leaps and bounds.  The two here join me every morning in the bathroom while I shower and get ready.  I have some towels for them that I make a big pile on the floor with.  They burrow around in there and run all over the place having a great time.  They are truly the VERY BEST radiator dusters that I have ever owned!  They join us for breakfast(love eggs), lunch(love pizza) and dinner(love every kind of meat we have).  They expect a handout every time they smell cooking.  They both lay on the hammock with their noses up to the bars and give that soulful look until they get something.We can never resist that inquisitive, longing look of theirs.  Paul lets the rats help him with his homework. Last night they were running between his shoulders and the computer desk and were able to  contribute some colorfully worded sections to his paper as they scampered across the keyboard.  He thought it was all great fun.

Anyway, they are a joy to have around, and like the pug, seem to lower our blood pressures.  Thanks again for introducing us to these great ratties.

Sincerely,
Jennifer

Just wanted to send you an update....
 
The first day together, Bishop and Raisin (as Sydney now calls her newest little rat) wrestled and peeped all day and night!  Although Raisin is much smaller, she was not about to be pushed around by Bishop.
 
I am happy to report after only one day of this, they are now the BEST of friends.  They cuddle to relax and sleep and Bishop even now shares her coveted nesting ball with Raisin.
 
They both have the best personalities!!  They are so calm and relaxed with my daughter and are just so cute sticking their little noses out of the cage to be pet!  They just LOVE people!
