Sorry for the delay in posts, life can get a bit busy which then makes posting harder or often placed on the back burner!

I promise we are still here and hoping to post some cute rattie content soon 💕💕

More often then not I see a lot of potential adopters having an issue with higher pricing, I'm sure some other breeders also sometimes experience the same concern from potential families.

Here's a small blog as to why we charge "higher" if you'd like to learn more or get an understanding of why breeders price the way we do.
We truly appreciate all of you that support us and understand💕

When researching pet rats, one of the first things people notice is price.......You may see rats listed for very low prices online, in classified ads, or even given away for free. At Swing Away Rattery (aswell as other ratteries) pricing may not be the lowest — and that is intentional.Here’s why...

PSA: Your rat is NOT a tiny, fuzzy introvert 😅

**This has been asked a lot lately, not many know that rats are highly social animals and thrive being with friends of their own kind, so we want to get the word out there for those who still may not know💕**

We promise… your rat does not want to live the “solo hamster life.”

Rats are basically tiny, whiskered best friends who thrive on:
✨ Cuddle piles
✨ Grooming each other like little weirdos
✨ Midnight zoomies with their buddies

Keeping a rat alone is kind of like giving someone a phone with no contacts… it gets lonely fast 💔

That’s why we always recommend rats be kept in pairs or groups — because everything is better with a friend (especially snacks and naps).

Don’t worry — we’re always happy to help with choosing compatible buddies or providing tips and advice for safe introductions!

💛 Swing Away Rattery — where nobody has to nap alone, and every rat is raised happy, healthy, and well-socialized.

(Ft one of our senior girlies that came back to us recently 🥺 her human mama loves her so much but wanted her to live her life with more friends again as her mates weren't doing too great 🥺)
