About

In 2018, we got our first rat, River, as a single classroom pet.  River was a super social hooded agouti doe, & my school kiddos adored her.  I quickly realized that she needed a cage mate, & that there was a LOT more to the rat thing than I had originally thought!  We added Shoal, a black irish doe, soon after! River & Shoal were an excellent intro to the rat world, & I knew that I was hooked. 

I had been raising show rabbits for several years, so the thought of raising rats as well was exciting!  I started researching local breeders and added our first few breeder quality rats a few months later.

It has been a process for sure!  Those first few 'breeder quality' rats we added ended up not being so amazing after all.  We have started & ended several lines, & have learned a lot about the ins & outs of raising rats. Over the years, we have narrowed down our focus (& numbers).  We currently work with the following coat types: Standard, Velveteen, & Harley coats. We also work with both standard & dwarf size rats.
