Stellar Rattery

It's cage cleaning & refresh day! New litterboxes, hammocks, cardboard & wipe downs for everyone! #petrats #ratbreeder

One of these days I have to go to central library and make more buttons for adopters!! They're just so fun.

I have a mama named Hilda too! What a great coincidence

Yoink

Ah thank you! I'm pretty smitten too

Four fat little baby rats fit in their breeders palm.

I have many siamese and/or beige babies. Guess I better find my coloured sharpies, we're gonna need to start colouring butts and tails soon! #ratbreeder #skyrats

Three little mink rat kits sleeping in the breeders palm. One has a white lightning blaze beside her snoot.

I can't get over how strikingly pretty these baby girls are! 1 week old! #ratbreeder #skyrats

Congrats, theyre beautiful!

Good morning, friends! I CANNOT believe the babies are 5 days old already!

which one of these lovely bacheloRats are YOU asking out for valentines day?

Coming soon! A page on my site explaining the differences btwn satin coat, velveteen, satin velveteen, velveteen/teddy rex, and rex 💛 with pictures of infant and adult whiskers & coats!

Best name ever.

Delicious!

So where do we go for community if discord goes tits up and I can't stand fb/meta and would love to leave it behind if I could?

Hoping to take first glamour shots of the new babies today, and update the glamours for some availables! <3

I've downloaded the Basemix app this afternoon and been inputting ratto pedigrees for the last 2 hours...

Hyperfocused, yes! I can't recommend it enough! Great app! #ratbreeder

It's been politely brought to my attention that pedigrees should be sir/buck first, dame/doe 2nd/following. They will be this way going forward.

Until now I have always done doe first- as she does all the work! 😅

Just so the change is noted & explained!

Bean totals:
Lenna 2 (two).
Bonnie 14 (fourteen); 4 black eyed beans fostered to Lenna.
Hilda 15 (fifteen). 1 asleep.

Three litters. 30 beans.

Except my beloved Lenna.

She had two (2).

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was beautiful!

All 3 expectant mamas had their litters *at the same time* this afternoon 😅

Everyone is recovering well. Waiting for them to come out of their nests before I do head counts.

Still waiting.

I've got pans soaking to be washed so we might celebrate the Great and Resplendent Suberb Owl with an offering of Crunch Wraps for dinner tonight.

The exhausting part of waiting for peeps is the waiting -- and trying to find things to do so im not hovering, haha 😅

I did the math. My 3rd anniversary litter in April will also be my 20th litter since I started breeding!

Working on updating and tweaking my rat discord servers this weekend and trying to get them active again. It'd be nice to see them active, bc fb/meta is trash, after all.

If you'd like a chill & quiet place to talk rat things or breeder things, hit me up in DM's and I'll share the invites.

Battling day 5 of this headache; however I am hoping to catch up on rat things this weekend!

Hilda looks ready to pop! Her belly is shaped and has dropped, for sure. Tomorrow is her earliest due date, could she give me beans right on time!?

KISSES!

Lenna is in the bin cage up in my bedroom. I think Bonnie still has almost another week to go but Hilda might give birth on Monday or even Sunday, she's huge. Hype!

While it may seem quiet on the social media front, it's anything but here at Stellar Rats!

We're busy getting to know the new BSS rats and starting intros...

As well as prepping for BABYPOCALYPSE incoming next week with THREE (3) litters due! Exciting updates are on the horizon! 🧡✨️
