So 2012!!! Can you believe it.
So This year, my main focus will be only on my beloved Roans, I have spent the last 2 years breeding my Kinky and "mouse" dumbo traits into the line, so I'm happy to say I can now just work with one line with all my favorite traits in it. I also bred in my calico and merle line into the Roans, but i'm sure they are vanishing really in the Roans. If I get a merle out of the litters it would be awesome, but my main concern is just my Roans.
Sadly , due to the Kinky trait I have also bred in RED in the Roan line, and that is my huge pet peeve!! I hate having RED in my Roans,but i will eventually breed it out, just going to take some time. A few years maybe 2-3.. who knows. No use in rushing as my goal right now is to keep the line healthy and sweet the way they are, and improving on the traits that I have in them.
So 2012 spring litters , O My Gawd are going to be exciting!!!! can't wait to see what my snuggies will give me!! Janine

New climate, after all my rats are used to Colorado heat..LOL.. but we have had 2 healthy litters born in the last 2 weeks, which is great, I'm also going to place a merle tort litter together so that I can keep that line going, it looks like I will have some really nice litters for the summer when ...

Wonderful things and best of all No spiders the size of my hands, and not dollar long centipedes!!!.. Its wonderful, Rats are doing great, I will probably have 2 more litters this summer, being that i'm working full time I don't have as much time as I would like to socialize my babies and I really don't want my adopters to have to do all that work, which they are paying for when they ...

I have to say I love living in my apartment, rats get to run around like crazy and cause trouble. One litter at a time I keep telling my self. The NY air is fresh, dust free and most of all LOUD.. I forgot how loud airplanes are.. OMG!!! but I guess its easy to get spoiled when you live out in the middle of noooo where. So new places, I'm in love with pet stores always have been, haven't had one in driving distance in years and I can't help but stop by and look at all the critters in them, I... Continue reading...
