Rattery rittens from Ratcity
October 6, 2004 - The past few week I've been
scavaging the internet for information on
pet
rats, after a friend of mine suggested that I'd take a pet rat again.
When I came across the website of Rattery
Ratcity, at which I also found a lot of
pratical ratty
information, I read that their
"C"
nest was about to be born. The father of this nest is
Rubke of
Mirinja (born
September 24, 2003), an agouti Berkshire dumbo with
Belgian and
American*
roots, and the mother is
Annabel of
Ratcity (born April 6, 2004), a seal
point Siamese from Ratcity's
"A"
nest. I've placed a reservation for two boys (hopefully one agouti
standard coating, and the other one just different), so now all I can do is
wait. And do some more reading, at the
The Dapper Rat, for example.
Mind you, a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of rex
coating, dumbo ears, rittens, or even ratteries. Yes! I really am
going to be a rat-owner, again. :-)

I later learned that these so called "American" roots are more
likely Dutch pet shop roots. :-\
