How my adoption process works. 

 

 

Covid-19 Updates:

Currently, the state of New York is allowing some businesses to open. As we are simply doing pickups outdoors, I feel this is acceptable. I will be wearing a mask and require all adopters and anyone with them who get out of the car to wear a mask as well.

I now will be keeping a limited waitlist!

This will allow people to have a sense of when or if they will get babies and allow me to have time to approve people on a simple schedule. This will be less like a lottery and feel less stressful for both of us.
 

• My waitlist will have no more than 10 people per sex.

• Everyone on the waitlist must be approved and have a cage

• The list will open everytime a litter is sold and adopters are cleared out

• The list will also be cleared out every so often when if I reach out and anyone is unresponsive or no longer wishes to be added. 

​

​

Are you impatient? This may not be for you!

I can not stress this enough. I do not just have stock of available rats. I do not have shelves of products. I am not a store with products. I am a responsible breeder and so I breed with a purpose and goals, not to just breed endlessly or make sales.

 

Every single litter has been carefully planned to better my lines and work towards a goal. Selling is not my first goal at all. 

​

Generally, most of the time when you contact me you may be waiting 3-6 months or more. Breeding is not instantaneous or for those that are not patient. One person may be getting a rat next week, someone else may be waiting a year.
 

• It takes time, I generally do not breed a female until they reach 5-6 months old.

• Once paired it might be right away or take weeks if I'm unlucky lol before she gets pregnant

• The pregnancy is about 3 weeks!

• That's already around a month just from pairing

• I don't sell until 10+ weeks. That's is 2.5 months.

• So about 3.5 months if all goes well from when I paired.
   

While I generally have litters paired every month or two, some are still new lines not yet available and as always we are dealing with living animals, and mother nature had a mind of its own! I can't know how many babies I will get or of what sex.

​

You will be waiting 3-6+ months generally, depending on how picky you are on variety.

​

I am not a pet store. I am not some back yard breeder who is just mass breeding for $$$. 

I hope that those coming to me are doing so because they want a wonderful amazing well-bred animal. That requires work and time!

My Adoption process:

​

 

I keep a limited waitlist. This allows me to keep a smaller pool of people involved. But this waitlist is NOT ordered. Instead it is an open pool where available rats are generally chosen as first come. 

​

So when babies are available to reserve (usually at 6-8 weeks+) I will announce it to my waitlist and then they will be able to reserve as first come. Whoever messages me first with their picks, gets them. Everyone chooses off photos.
