Hello, everyone! Recently, we've come across more subscribers. Super excited about that. I wanted to give a small update to everyone following our page. I'd like to remind you that we are a very slow-paced rattery. The reason for that is to study our lines and find proper candidates for pets and breeders. We are currently trying to establish our lines. To give you a little more information on how the things I've mentioned above is applicable to the pace of our rattery:
We are holding back most and/or all females from our litters so that we can further prove they are qualified for this program. This is an evaluation and elimination method. We don't want rats that bite or are hormonally aggressive. We are working on improving not only one but 3 other lines as well. Does cannot be bred until they are of age and weight, when they are ideal, we have to pair and the activity itself takes anywhere from 1 week to a month and in certain pairings, longer than a month. Once we've confirmed the doe is pregnant (usually around 2nd week out of 3). It takes 3 weeks for pups to fully develop in the womb and come out into this world. From that point, we observe, check mother and babies. It takes about 4-5 weeks to be developed enough that they face temperament testing. After this process, we then list the babies up on our website to be reserved. They all go home at 6 weeks. Our does are given rest for 2+ months before attempting to be bred again. IT IS QUITE A PROCESS! Our most current litter on the ground will have a limited number of babies available and they will all be males. We need all 3 females in this litter to remain with us for evaluation. We will also hold back a number of bucks. Bear with us, as we root our lines further. The next pairing will have more pups, males and females, to reserve. Pairings this week: Flower x Puppy Black Silvermane Hooded Doe Blue Silvermane Possum Down Under Buck Tinkerbell x Drag Queen Blue Silvermane Berkshire Doe Blue Silvermane Berkshire Down Under Buck If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to email us or inquire on our facebook page: @Madratter Rattery
