Available rescue ratties!

February 19th, 2010

*EDIT* These boys were adopted by the lovely RuLyn. Thanks a ton for giving these handsome guys an awesome home!
These adorable boys are currently being fostered, and are ready to leave for their available homes at any time. Reggie, and Rube are sweet rat-men, working on being ’squishy’. They are 6 [...]

Published again :)

Last year I was contacted about this photograph, of Eagle’s Star Sailor (Sailor), and Eagle’s Cascadian Rhythm (Iris) snuggled up, from someone wanting to use it for a book they were publishing.

The book is educational material, on primate behavior, called ‘Roots of Human Behavior’, by Viktor Reinhardt, and published by the Animal Welfare Institute. [...]

Visiting Dream Mtn Farm

July 10th, 2009

My good friend Morgan lives about 20 miles away, in the mountians, on a beautiful little dream farm. Yesterday Dea and I were invited out, for an afternoon of ratties, horses, and Labradors. So much fun! Here’s a few pics of our lovely visit with a wonderful friend.
(One note, I’m adding this [...]

*EDIT* We were able to find ALL 6 of these boys a home together, and the 3 girls will stay here, and live out their lives (Unless another home comes around) YEA!
A good Samaritan rescued a litter of wild rats from poison/death at a local feral cat refuge, and then sought help with them. [...]

Shelby babies!

May 25th, 2009

Not only did Shelby end up being pregnant after all as suspected, she didn’t grow much bigger than the last pics, and she gave us a larger than typical litter for her line, and age!
Shelby gave birth this morning, to NINE pink, squishy, but smaller than I usually see eepers. There’s about a 1/2 [...]

We’re hoping Shelby is pregnant this time… cross fingers! She’s looking a tad bit chubbier, and nipples are a bit more noticeable. We tried breeding her with a dwarf boy, but she didn’t take. Sometimes girls don’t like those midget boys, so here’s to hoping she simply doesn’t like smaller men! [...]

It’s been a long while since we’ve had babies in the house, so here’s some photos of the little goobers! Sire is GGR Carmine (Who just passed, at 2.5 years), and dam is JOY Bloo Cloo Too.
I just got a ‘new’ (To me) camera last night, and focusing is a little softer than my [...]

Schedules finally worked out, so Morgan (Dream Mtn Rattery) who’d been holding rats for me until quarantine was over, and I was home from the nationals brought my rats she’d kept, and some rats from litters she’d been holding for me over.
Included in that group, was the wonderful Shelby!

She also brought over a few of [...]

Joys of a kid and pets….

April 23rd, 2009

Bubbles looks VERY pretty with her blue feet…. she ‘had her nails done’, with marker.

Kids *sigh* But- ya gotta give it to the super tolerant rat for holding still through the young artist at work!
This is Eagle’s Scented Bubbles, a dumbo cinnamon pearl, or platinum (Will likely know if we breed her- based [...]
