For those interested in the future adventures; we do have a new business page that I am working on. However due to the slander I have received against myself as Sunshine Exotics I will not post the name of the new page here. For those who truly want to be part of it, I hope you come across it because I truly want everyone who supported me and stood by me here to see what we have in store.

I have a new partner, who I am helping learn while they help care for the critters while my husband and I look into buying our first home

Working on grand reopening.
This is non profit as in everything will go back into my animals.
None of it will be spent on myself or my family.

I have started working with feeder breeding- I know a lot of you don't like the idea but ALL animals must eat. Where do you think frozen thawed rodents come from? You cannot feed a snake lettuce, just as you cannot feed any other meat or insect eating animal a salad.

I love all animals and I DO plan to keep snakes in the farther future.

We are going to keep this page but change it up a bit.

I will be posting rats and African soft fur rats here, you can message me if you want pets or feeders, obviously there will be different price points.
Please do not ask me for feeders to "save" from being food, pet sales come first either way. Anyone who wants feeders and I run out I have referrals I can give you.

I will also be breeding crested geckos very small scale.

We are looking to relocate a little father away from my hometown but it is unknown at this time when it will happen.

We will eventually move states as well so please be on the lookout for developments.

As for RATS!! I have pet quality feeders available.
I also have 10 soft furs available currently hopper age. If the soft furs get to weaning age before any feeder sales are made I'll be taking them to a storefront that can use them.

Thank you for your patience 🥰 and thank you for your support!!
I missed everyone and I hope this new start can bring something wonderful.

I know it's been a LONG time, and I archived the "new" page.

I wanted to give you guys an update!

My girls have been home over a year now 💕 we're going amazing and the case is closed. Unfortunately some wounds are still taking a lot of time though and Lucas is out of prison next year, way too soon honestly for all the pain and suffering he's caused. He was never charged with all of the assault and things he did to me, he was only charged for two incidents done to me and the girls.

My son was adopted and is in a wonderful home growing strong and safe. I will not disclose any information :)

I've gotten back into animal keeping as some noticed, I'm starting slow and small.

We have an apt and I'm also starting streaming games.

I have a crested gecko, hes almost 2, and I'm looking for a mate for him.

I have a small ASF colony, follow Sugar Sweet ASF for photos and videos of my friend and my soft fur adventures. My colony is just one male, Max, and his two girls, V and Silver. They've got a litter of 6 right now 💕
They ARE feeders but if people want pets from my friend and I, she and I work on socializing the sweetest ones 💖

I have two fancies and will be getting two more to finish that colony. Pepper my self agouti rex top ear male reminds me of Peter from long ago.
His first gf is a little black Irish dumbo girl whose in QT to make sure no bugs are present in the bedding she was in previously. We have very good feeder breeder sources for my little colonies (and all of them have good base genetic personalities so they CAN be pets) so I'm only worried about mites, since pepper had some from his bedding when I got him.

I've got three Tarantulas 💕

We have our two kitties Midna and Whisper 🥰

And best for last...

My high school sweetheart and I are getting married in two months!! The girls will go through step parent adoption 💞

We will not be opening as a business anytime soon but if anyone is interested in seeing what our adventures entail and possibly getting feeders (or pets) from my friend and I just pm my personal page Sunshine Warren 🥰 I won't take friend requests unless we know each other, but I'm happy to stay in touch ❤️

Refer to our pinned post for the application.
Info in captions.

10$ each but MUST GO TOGETHER.
Born 11-5-18
FEMALE

PICK UP LOCALLY ONLY.
DeKalb Illinois

I cannot travel as I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins as most of you already know.

01/18/2019

30 weeks pregnant today, found out this week the girls are likely fraternal and that I'm expecting to have them by 38 weeks.

Both mom and Luke believe I'll have them at 34-35weeks though so nursery prep is in high gear starting this weekend!

Rats are doing great and we opted to wait till we have the twins on a schedule before we start the next pairings. Hopefully by then we will also have our new additions as well :)

I will continue to post periodic updates on both pages until everyone who wants to continue following us switches to the main page The Fox Family Rodentry from Sunshine Exotics.

Thank you everyone!!! ♥️

Who got rats with no official birth certificates?
Which rats were they?
I know these ones so far did not receive BC:
Secret of Nimh litter
Sailor Moon litter
Litter J

This does not include ones that were not born in my care, those I do not have actual birth dates or parent information for.

We get to spend some extra time with the cuties for the holidays :) so hoping to get some much better pictures.
Will possibly be making some cute treats for the rats and dogs to have and will be making some Christmas cards with them too!

Who wants a Christmas card with a choice of paw prints from our personal keepers?
With the cost of the materials we think anything more than 5$ would be too much but we have non toxic stamps for them and will be getting some non toxic and safe paints to teach them to do pictures too! Same cost since we really just want to make some cute things for those interested 😁

The rats we will feature with painting:
Peter
Irwin
Joe
Kasey
Neptune

Possible picks as well:
Artemis
Diamond
Jadeite
Peach
Fitz
Bael
Apple

Those for Christmas cards will likely be:
Peter
Irwin
Joe
Kasey
Kane
Neptune
Diamond

Those not named are less likely to lend us their paws for these cute crafts but are still open to try 😁

If anyone wants a card from them or a painting let us know! That's something we will do for anyone who wants one even during the hiatus 😁♥️

Happy holidays! I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Is nobody wanting these girls? Seriously? 😳They are great grandchildren of our founder doe, momito, and very sweet 😁

Allie got to pick up her boys Spirit and Ghost today ♥️ early adoption due to significant trust and necessity to get the boys home since they're two of the smallest we had.

Lisa can also pick up as soon as she wishes as they are the offspring of the two rats I got from her in the summer :)

They are 5 weeks old today!
Pickup for others can happen next week.

We still need to reserve out the last three girls 😳 come on guys, they're super sweet and very cute!

Come on guys :) the earliest pick up is the week before Christmas which is only a week away!
3 sweet girls need a home reserved for them by then 😁
A rex Berkshire, a standard Berkshire, and a standard Irish.
The berks are both top ear and the Irish is a dumbo.
They must go together due to not having any other females that can go home.
Fill out an application in my pinned post and read the TOS along with pricing.
The three together would be 45$ but I would drop it to an even 40$.

A bit "salty" if you know gamer speak.
So he is still one of my sweetest and favorite boys, but I'm a little disappointed xD he was supposed to be champagne color, now hes molting. I'm confused and sad but I still love this little bu**er lol.
I'm assuming he is a marked Himalayan, but I'll be asking some other more knowledgeable people first xD
