About RAMR, and Adoption Information.
If you have never adopted a rat from us, you MUST fill out a questionnaire.
If you have never adopted rats from us, you MUST fill out a questionnaire.
We may have more questions for you. If you are new to rats please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. There is nothing wrong with admitting you don't know something, that's one advantage of getting rats from a breeder. Asking questions and getting useful information; I too ask other more experienced breeders about things.
If you have already adopted rats from us, just e-mail us with what you are interested in, we'll be happy to help!
After we get back to you about available rats:
Once it has been decided which rats you are interested in, we will temporarily place any rat(s) on hold for you. I will hold any rat(s) for you up to 2 weeks past the available date. If in that time you decide not to adopt the rat(s) please let me know as soon as you can, so I can get these lil guys and gals to a new home!
In order to hold any rats, we require a $5.00 non-refundable deposit per rattie. This deposit will for towards the overall adoption fee of the rat(s).
Babies must be at least 4-6 weeks of age (depending on the litter) at the time you wish to pick them up. The available date will be listed on each and every litter page. So please try to plan around that date, there can and will be very few exceptions. Since I know it is rather hard sometimes to plan things so far in advance.
You will be required to sign an adoption contract before taking your new rat(s) home. If you have adopted from us before, then I will just add that rat to the reverse side of the contract and have you initial it, to state which rat(s) you have added to the family.
We reserve the right at, anytime, to refuse adoption of a rat to anyone.

How to Pre~reserve & Reserve babies
Please, be sure to read the Adoption Information page before reserving any babies.
To Pre~reserve a baby rat before it's born, simply fill out the questionnaire and tell me what you would like (color, markings, gender, fur & ear type) and I will let you know as soon as that rat is born, *or I will let you know when something close to it is born*, if you are approved for adoption, 90% of Pre~Reeserves I ask for the deposit. Then the rules for reserving will go into effect if you are still interested in the rat.
To reserve a rat, fill out the questionnaire and send it to me, please include the name of the parents of the rat(s) you are interested in, or the name of the rat.
Are you a rat breeder?
Occasionally I will give other breeders first pick *Unless The baby was Pre~Reserved*
I must have your phone number and the city to reserve or Pre-Reserve rats. *E-mail addresses are good too, especially if you send me a questionnaire*
If you change your mind and do not want the reservation please, please let me know so I can make the baby available again so that he or she will find a new loving home.
Breeders are getting a tough break lately thanks to some bad experiences this past year...
I will no longer be shipping rats to breeders in California, due to some bad experiences and lines out there. I don't want my lines mixed in with that, because I work hard to make them the healthy hearty sweeties they are, and don't want them mixed in with the bad stuff that has managed to find their way around the state.
It does NOT benefit the rat species! I breed to make the rat species BETTER and HEALTHIER, and to LIVE LONGER, Not just good pets for a short time...
Also starting 2010 we will be even pickier about who gets our babies for breeding, we have always been kind of lax in the past with no issues, then in 2007 and 2008 we shipped out to some breeders that did not do well by our rats, or theirs. So to try and make sure this does not happen again we are tightening our "security" on our lines. We ask that you be breeding for at least 2 years before we ship to you, but please by all means you may contact us, and keep us up to date on how your rattery is *and let us see rattie pics* and see how your rattery is developing. Just let us get to know you and your rattery, and helps know that our rats are going to good breeders that deserve our rats.
