A Big Day!

I have been helping at a Bible camp for the past few days. I decided to take some of my female ratties to camp today. It was an exciting time for them... ;-)


The kids absolutely loved holding all the rats, but Maria was definitely the popular one! They (rats and kids) did great!


Even Pastor Brady liked the ratties...

A Sweet Girl

I decided to write a post every time one of my ratties passes away. I'll start with Bonnie...

I adopted Bonnie on Feb. 20th, 2014. She was severely abused before joining Riverside Rattery. Naturally, she was a rather timid gal. But even though she had a rough past, she was a very gentle ratty.
Bonnie died on April 1st, 2014. :-( She just couldn't hang on anymore; the abuse had caught up with her. I am so glad she was with me for that short time. She was definitely a special ratty!

Bonnie was pregnant when I adopted her. She is the start of my Amber line. :-)

The Great Grandma

Raven is GMa to Maria and Great GMa to Lilly! It took me a little while to capture a fairly decent picture. ;-)
By the way, I am still planning on writing a post about treating ratty illnesses. I will get around to it soon!

Rattery Update

Hi, everyone! I haven't been doing much blogging lately. Sorry about that- life has been busy...
The ratties are doing great! They are very happy and all the 'oldies' seem to be in good health. ;-)
Most of the babies have gone to their new homes now. I have two girls and one boy left. They are all very friendly ratties and I hope the right adopters come along soon!
I have been itching to write an informational blog post. I don't have time for that today, but will get around to it soon! I decided it would be a good idea to write about treating ratty illnesses. It can be hard to find information on the internet. So, I am happy to share all that I have learned over the past couple years. Be on the lookout for a lengthy post!

A Change Of Plans...

Due to personal matters, I decided to take a break from breeding for a few months. My next litter will be born sometime in October (go to my Available Ratties page for more information). Until that time, I decided to downsize on my rattery.
It turns out Nutmeg is not pregnant. I cancelled her litter altogether. For those of you who were on my waiting list, I am very sorry!
