Whimsical Whiskers Rattery

We would like to introduce our most recent additions to our program at the rattery.

Tot & Walter. They are both brothers, the same age.

Tot is a Dwarf Siamese Dumbo, Walter is a potential dwarf carrying UK Mink.

We are absolutely smitten with both!

We hope to soon have a dwarf line. ❤️

There is one thing I struggle with, and that's taking proper size comparison photos of hyper babies! I apologize for the poor quality, taking photos of one hyper and busy baby rat is easy, taking photos of multiple, well that's a bit more tricky 😂

However, we have had what appears to be yet another little dwarf pop up and will be doing a test breeding on this line to be absolutely sure.

We have decided to hold him back, and he is hereby known as 'Tot'.

You can see on the last photo how much more slender and short his tail is. The other buck is his brother Walter.

I want to take a moment to talk about something that's been weighing us down a lot this year. I apologize that this is only partially rattery related.

In December of last year, we were harassed by an individual for standing up for something we believe in (I won't go into a lot of detail but we defended a fellow breeder/friend and the LGTB+ community), this harassment extended into our reviews and inbox, where some false and inaccurate claims were made by someone that has never met us or seen any of our beloved rats.

This has lead to an unfortunate decrease in posts from us, because frankly, it's scary to be targeted and harassed.

But we miss posting frequent updates, and we miss posting all the photos.

So we have decided we aren't holding back anymore, and we aren't afraid anymore. Our reviews will be reopening in the next few days (sadly we will likely be unable to remove the false reviews from this individual but will try our best), and you can expect A LOT more photos and posts from us.

We apologize for our lack of activity since then.

I debated posting about this for a long time now, and I think it's important that our wonderful adopters and friends are aware of why we have been more quiet this year.
