💕✨ rat people really are the best ✨💕

I’ve been having a few things from the wishlist delivered, and honestly I can’t tell you folks how much it’s appreciated 💕

Every time I think maybe I can’t do this on my own, you folks remind me that Im not alone, and it really means the world.

Thank you so much for the gifted items, they’re being put straight to use!
(I never know if I should do public thank yous, or message folks privately to thank them, so end up doing a bit of both. But other way you’re so incredibly appreciated for caring ✨)

Ten more lil beans 🫘✨💕

A few days ago I welcomed a very worried young little rat into my care and within days she became mama to TEN little beans. 🫘
She’s doing incredibly well despite her age and being so small herself, but she’ll of course be getting her supplements and all the extra yummy snacks she could want!

I’m going to try better to keep you folks updated on what we’re at, and Rolo and her precious little family seem like a perfect chance to do so!💕✨

Sorry folks I’ve been crap at updates- my mental health has taken quite a battering of late, so communications and cute picture updates and such has been quite hard.

I do however have a pair of beautiful little Himalayan girls available to go and join another mischief!

HAIRLESS RATS

I've been seeing a lot of interest for hairless rats in the UK online and have had some enquiries mentioning them so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a quick bit of info about them.

There are many variations of hairlessness, each producing different amounts of fur. However, genes impacting fur types (and colour) rarely impact just the appearance of the rat. Hairless genes are also associated with:

- Kidney and/or heart issues
- Poor immune system
- Skin issues
- Eye issues (usually built up debris)
- Inability to lactate

For this reason they are considered an unethical variety to breed. There are no responsible breeders breeding for hairless rats in the UK, which adds on additional potential issues.

If you have your heart set on hairless rats, rescues would be the only way to go. Bear in mind though that hairless rats require a lot of maintenance and therefore may not be a great idea for newer keepers or pets for children.
