Rescue
AppaRattus Rattery started as a rat rescue which we define as, taking in PET rats that are in need of a new loving home and helping them find one. While we have had several rats acquired from stores that sell rats as food for other animals that have turned into wonderful loving rats, We feel it is best to find rats that have been bred and raised to be pets and there are MANY pet rats looking for good homes.
If you have rat/rats in need of help please contact us and we will do our best to assist you and the rats.

Breeding
AppaRattus Rattery is mainly a rescue but may begin a small breeding program in the future. We will always strive for better temperament and excellent health while attempting to maintain coat, color and marking standards. Babies are handled everyday since birth to socialize them and help them be as friendly and inquisitive as possible.
Feeding
The food mix we feed our rats is based on sue bee's rat mix. http://www.ratsrule.com/diet.html The dog food used is Avoderm Weight Control. Diet is suplemented by fresh fruit and vegetable and our own homemade dried fruit and vegetables.

Habitats
We keep our rats in a variety of cages but primarily use two of the pictured cages one for females and one for males. Expecting mothers get moved to smaller one story cage or aquarium. Bedding is primarily aspen and NEVER cedar or pine.
