Rattery and rescue located near St. Louis.

Current rats:
♂Boone, Faust, Felix, Kritch
♀Arlene, Kismet, Kiara, Fluke, Clover, Beatrice, Bellatrix
Ratty intros have started. Besides Clover being a brat, they're going well! Big boss lady grandma rat is getting a nebulizer treatment so she's not there to put everyone in their place yet.

Rat pile! There's also another one buried under there.

I'm trying to start intros today and not a single rat will come out. Sleepy babies.

Happy Halloween from my little Skaven colony. The rats did not like paint on their paws so I had to hand paint these while flipping rats to stare at their feet.

Faust is the cuddliest rat ever. As long as he gets endless back scratches.

My scrunkly little old man is gone. He was having heart problems and made it very clear that he was ready to go.

He had health issues all of his life but managed to make it to 2 years and 9 months.

RIP you grouchy boy.

Have you held a rat's little grabby hand today? You should.

We decided to try a box from @rattybox.bsky.social

Arlene approves! Everyone else was too sleepy and didn't want to be moved.

That bat hammock is so cute but they're gonna shred it immediately.

My attempts to get more pictures of the new girls. Little chaos potatoes.

Newww babies we picked up today. We've decided to name them Beatrice and Bellatrix.
Bea gives nonstop kisses the second a hand is near her.

Old man Kritch has an ongoing project called "absolutely obliterate this cardboard". He chews it all night and can be heard through most of the house.

Also ignore his goopy eyes...he's always had eye issues and needs eyedrops often.

It's really rough having so many older rats all at once. Last night we found Marnie had passed in her sleep. She was a rescue who never learned to trust people, but I'll miss seeing those hopeful little boba eyes begging for treats.

Heeeere's Arlene.

The oldest ratties got some quiet time away from the young, hyper rats to (very carefully) climb the rat tree and eat a lot of snacks.

Arlene is 2 years and 8 months old, has a lipoma, and is very blind. But she still zoomed around and climbed very high.

I don't know how this is comfortable for either of them but ok.

Haven't been posting much since some of the rats have been having health issues (mainly age related, one sudden and unexpected) and I was focusing on their care.

But sadly we lost Ratchitt today. My baby rat. The first baby born to our rattery. I'm absolutely devastated

All of the ratties got mini pancakes to celebrate the lucky litter's first birthday. Most snatched them and ran.

The lucky litter is now 1 year old! Can't believe they were ever these tiny, fluffy beans (no way I could get them to sit quietly in a pile for pictures now).

Planning to make them a little cake later and hopefully get a picture of more than a blur once they get their crazy little hands on it.

Mim was amazing at hiding. Bet you can't even spot her in this picture!

Boone and Felix spent all night shredding paper then all day napping in it.

Climbing the rat tree!
I don't get many pictures of them during free roam since they're usually climbing all over me or zooming by.

This is the face I see while I check the other cages.

Ratchitt with his tiny bandana. It was meant to be a Death's-head Hawkmoth but looks more Helldivers-ish.

Ratchitt and his son Felix.
He loves his boys so much.

A very stupid meme I scribbled based on how someone reacted to my rats eating salad. And a blank version if someone wants to use it to make more stupid things.
