COASTLINE UPDATE:
I am providing this update regarding coastline with a profound sense of disappointment. Several adopters have come forward, revealing disturbingly unethical practices on her part. A few adopters have reported instances of aggression, including in females, tumors, and the sale of 4-week-old babies. If these incidents have occurred with anyone else, I offer my sincerest apologies. It is no secret that i do not particularly like coastline, due to her behavior both during and after her mentorship with me. During the timeframe that i mentored her, and she got numerous rats from me, she was also called out for unethical practices such as getting rats from reptile expo feeder bins, craigslist, and breeders with known HA in their lines. While Coastline did get a lot of her stock from me, her choices in obtaining feeder quality rats and her unethical breeding practices, that i did not condone and explicitly told her to refrain from, have caused severe issues with the rats she now has. I will not be issuing an official blacklist at this time due to her ongoing unresponsiveness, however, such action will be taken if she reappears in the future, supported by the numerous screenshots provided by her adopters. These findings are not speculative; they are factual. I have included one such screenshot in this post, as its content is truly uncomprehendable. Another screenshot serves as proof that this individual is indeed Amanda Redman/Coastline. I personally typed in the link in the "identity confirmation" screenshot and was brought directly to Coastlines website. For those who are unsure on what the first photo is showing, there are clearly multiple litters in the photo, and there is no way she could tell which babies belonged to which mom, this is a lineage and info tracking issue. Secondly, these babies can only be a maximum of 1-2 weeks old, as they are furred but eyes are not yet open. Stating that these babies will be ready in 2-3 weeks is a clear sale of 4-5 week old babies, and extremely unethical. Not only could these babies die from being separated too early, but they can also develop temperament issues due to the extreme anxiety brought on by being taken from their mother too soon. And lastly, stating that they have specific personalities at 2 weeks or under is just INSANE. They are not even out of the nest and truly mobile yet at this age 🙄.
