I finally get my two new girls tomorrow! a russian silver and a russian blue - and hopefully one of them will be a mummy in a few months time. Whichever one looks to be best for breeding!

Rats Laura? Scuse my ignorance!

I'm wondering too!

and me

Yay! Congratulations on the new ratty girls!

Ooo, I may be going to Barcelona in July, in which case would you maybe, possibly like to rat-sit Jimmy and Fry?

Does GMR stand for Genetically Modified Rats?

Look forward to lots of pics

GMR stands for get more rats! lol - it's a fatal disease! yes i'm getting two girls which will hopefully be the foundations of our breeding line - along with two more girls from carreg stud in portsmouth - which is where your boys are from right iz?

and we would be MORE than happy to Jimmy and Fry sit while you're on hols!

how many rats have you got zounds?
i didn't think you bred i thought it was all rescues?
are the colours like the hamsters etc?

lol i currently have 8 myself (and i'm getting 2 more today and 2 more at cardiff show on 6th may). I have always wanted to breed - and have spent years researching the genetics, husbandry, dietry needs etc to get to this point. I am being mentored by a ver knowledgable breeder - probably one of the best in the country - who I am very priveliged to know! (www.alphacentauri-rats.co.uk)

I do still rescue - well, foster, i don't have the time, space or money for true rescue, and truly admire those who give their lives over to it. So hopefully my first litter will be late summer, early autumn time, and most will (hopefully - no garuntees!) be going to new owners in ireland - well - if anyone wants them. You see we have founded and are working on building up an Irish rat fancy - so far we're doing quite well, but it takes a LOT of hard work and time! lol Will post pics tonight when my girls get home!
