One maternity cage reset done tonight 🥹🤍

Just a quick note because I know the cage can look small on video. These are temporary maternity setups while the babies are still tiny and nursing. I use lower profile cages at this stage to reduce climbing and fall height, then once they’re older and separated by s*x they move into bigger setups with more space and enrichment 🐀✨

I’ve been pretty unwell lately, so I’m taking things one cage at a time and thought I’d start filming more of the real behind the scenes stuff too. I even left the before photo in because animals are messy and cage cleaning isn’t always aesthetic 😂

Hopefully posting more helps keep me motivated too. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see or learn more about 🤍

🐭 Female Mice Available Now! 🐭

Hi everyone! We currently have a lovely selection of female mice available and ready to go to their new homes now 🥰

🐀 We’ve also welcomed two litters of baby rats, however they still have a couple more weeks of growing to do before they’ll be ready to leave. If you’ve previously expressed interest in rats, please feel free to message us and let us know if you’re still looking!

📸 Photos of the female mice currently available will be attached to this post.

We also have more litters pending, so keep an eye on the page for upcoming availability! 👀✨

Please send us a message if you’re interested or would like more information. 💕

Hi everyone! Just a little update.

Firstly, I want to apologise for being a bit quiet lately. My health hasn’t been the best, so I’ve been taking things one day at a time and haven’t been as active as I’d like.

At this stage, I’m still working out my long-term breeding plans. For now, I’m focusing on the welfare of the animals I have and keeping numbers manageable.

🐀 Rats: I currently have four planned pairings, so if all goes to plan, I won’t have new litters available until early October. I’ve included photos of these pairings below! 🤞

🐭 Mice: I’m spending this week sorting through my colonies. If you’re after a specific variety, s*x or age, send me a message and I’ll do my best to see what’s available.

If you’re looking to adopt rats in the meantime, I highly recommend the Australian Rat Fanciers Society Rescue Service, who often have wonderful rats looking for homes: https://www.ausrfs.org.au/rescueservice

If you’re looking for rescue mice, or need an urgent companion for a lone mouse, I also recommend Out of The Pocket Micro-Sanctuary, who may be able to help.

Thank you all so much for your patience and continued support—it really does mean a lot. ❤️

Photos attached of our first rat pairings for the year! 🐀✨

✨ Radiant Rodentry Update ✨

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a genuine update and also apologise for being so quiet and slow with messages for quite some time.

The past year has been a very slow season for me personally, including some health and life challenges, which meant I became quiet online, behind on replies, and bred far less than usual. I know some messages may have gone unanswered, and I’m truly sorry to anyone left waiting.

I’ve been working on getting myself back on track, creating more structure, and moving forward again. Today I completed my first pairing of any kind for this year, which feels like a big step in the right direction.

My plan is to continue with more mouse and rat pairings over the coming week as I rebuild gradually and properly.

At this stage, most future availability will likely be around 2–3 months away to allow for pregnancies, raising, weaning, and babies to reach the right age before going to new homes.

If any suitable adults or excess breeders become available sooner, I’ll post them separately once I’ve finished assessing everyone.

Today is a very hard day.

RIP Lorenzo
31-Oct-23 – 18-Feb-26
After a sudden eye complication in his senior months.

RIP Salem
24-Mar-24 – 18-Feb-26
After bravely battling a pituitary tumour.

Lorenzo was the gentlest boy.
Salem was a sweet and resilient girl.

Both were so deeply loved 💔🌈🐀

I’ve been quieter while caring for ageing rats and navigating some difficult decisions. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We currently have one rat litter that will be ready in about a month, two boys and several girls. Mice also available, and some older rats.

Please comment if you are interested.

I’m also taking time to consider what the next chapter may look like for Radiant Rodentry.

UPDATE:
The adoption fee has kindly been covered and she has short-term accommodation secured while awaiting her spay and veterinary care. We are still seeking a permanent home. If a permanent adopter comes forward, we would ask that the $155 adoption fee be reimbursed to the person who has already covered this cost.

She is a former stray and will need a patient, understanding home while she continues to decompress and build trust. She has not shown aggression in our care, but can be fearful if handled, so an adopter experienced with nervous cats or willing to go at her pace would be ideal. Videos can be provided upon request.

PS: Radiant Rodentry is currently closed for the next week and will resume adoptions as of next week, as we will be away for the weekend. We apologise for any delays in replies, we’ve had our hands very full over the past month with the Christmas period, cat rescue, and other commitments. We will do our best to reply this evening and will be reopening the waitlist today, so if you’re interested and happy to be added, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

URGENT – CAT NEEDS HELP ASAP (CRANBOURNE)

We are urgently trying to help a stray female cat that was surrendered for her safety.

Due to our current cats and other circumstances, we are not able to take her on ourselves. We are desperately hoping that an adopter, foster, or rescue can step forward.

⚠️ If no one comes forward, she will be euthanised after 12pm tomorrow.

📍 Location: Cranbourne
💲 Adoption fee: Likely around $155, as she appears to be over 6 months old (set by the shelter)
✅ Fee includes spaying, microchipping, worming/flea treatment, and vaccinations

If you can help, please contact us ASAP so we can provide:
• the reference number
• exact shelter location
• further details

Even sharing this post could save her life.
Please don’t wait 🤍

Hi everyone, we just wanted to sincerely apologise for the lack of replies to adoption messages recently. We know it’s not ideal and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience.

The last little while has involved some unexpected personal matters, and more recently we’ve also stepped in to help rescue and rehabilitate a small group of stray cats in our area. Several (6+) were found quite underweight, severely dehydrated, and hungry, and in need of urgent care, which understandably became a priority.

So far, we’ve only been able to safely capture one of them. She was taken in last night and appears to be pregnant. She’s being monitored closely, and we hope to have a clearer update over the coming week. We’re currently working out the best and safest way to approach the remaining cats.

We’ve contacted the local council for guidance. Unfortunately, as they’re classified as strays, they’re unable to attend or assist directly. We’ve been advised that we can continue assisting independently, so we’re doing our best to navigate this carefully and responsibly.

Because of everything happening behind the scenes, we’re going to be taking the remainder of the year to slow down, regroup, and get things properly organised again. That includes sorting messages and making sure we can respond in a timely and fair way.

If anyone local is experienced with, or interested in helping with cat rescue or rehabilitation, feel free to reach out. Community support is always appreciated.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support. We’ll update again once things are back on track.
