I started keeping rats in July of 2020 and have always had a small group ever since then.
Here you'll find photos and mini-bios for each and every one I've had the pleasure of caring for!

DUCK
Duck is the first and really only cat I've ever had, he was born in 2017 and found as a stray when he was only a month old at my parents house in a rural area. He's super soft and fluffy and one of the most vocal cats I've ever met, he also tends to lick people a LOT! |

| ONION, PEANUT, BEANS, and ALLAN Onion, Peanut, Beans, and Allan were likely born sometime in early or mid December and are all brothers from a litter of five (they have a sister with their mother). They came to me on New Years Day of 2024! I was meant to only be taking a pair of baby boys but the other potential adopter backed out last minute, so I took in all four brothers. These boys are the most energetic little men I've taken in so far, they're an absolute hanful, and they ADORE sunflower seeds! |

| DURBAN
Durban was one of my first rats and my most beloved... yes, I know I shouldn't pick favorites! He was born sometime late 2019 or early 2020, adopted by me from EARPS in July of 2020, and passed after a long battle with a pituitary tumor in June 2022. He loved his cookies and pineapple hammock! My little Durbie-Do is sorely missed every day... |
AREQUIPA
Arequipa, otherwise known as Quip, was Durban's sister and adopted from EARPS at the same time (all the rats from that rescue are spayed & neutered). She was feisty and loved chewing up anything in her way, whether it was hammocks or cage trays! She passed suddenly in 2022, Durban missed her very much and so did I. I hope they're together again. |
GUNTHER
Gunther was adopted alongside Durban and Quip! He was the one I asked for by name, the others were adopted because they got along with him so well. He was very skittish, probably an ex-feeder, and a bit older than his cagemates. His favorite treat was unsweetened applesauce. He passed about a month before Quip. |

JERSEY & FRESNO
Jersey Devil & Fresno Night Crawler were born in October of 2020 and adopted as kittens from a college student's accidental litter. They never enjoyed being handled and eventually had to be housed on their own (but together) due to aggression, but I loved them all the same. They loved oatmeal and their favorite thing to do was shred cardboard! Jersey & Fresno passed of old age within a day of one another in March of 2023. |
GRAHAM
GramGram wasn't a rat... she was a syrian hamster! I adopted her from an ex-Amish family through Craigslist (it was... an experience) and had been kept in a tiny cage where their children handled her very roughly. She was given a 40 gallon tank once I got her and it took several long months for her to accept treats directly. She was supposedly two or three years old when I adopted her in 2021 and she passed in early 2023. |

GILBERT & EGG
Egg & Gilbert were brothers that were rehomed when their mother's living situation changed sudenly in 2021. Gilbert was an overweight and very snuggly champagne dumbo while Egg had always been on the smaller and more playful side. They loved pumpkin seeds and oatmeal! Gilbert was found to have passed on August 11th 2023 (the anniversary of their adoption date, no less) and Egg followed as I held him on November 2, 2023. Gilbert was two years and four months old and Egg was two years and seven months. |
GEMINI
Babybabybabybabyboy GemGem was born on October 11th, 2022 and adopted from my local shelter, which I didn't know took rats! He was the last one left of his siblings and the only rat I've adopted alone, he was so tiny that I had to keep him seperated from the rest of my boys for almost a month. He was extremely snuggly and his favorite thing in the world was sleeping in my jacket sleeves! He was an incredibly special rat much like Durban before him and was put to sleep May 2nd of 2024 after complications from a large tumor. This photo is from 2022 and is how I will always remember him. He had so much life. It wasn't fair. |
VALERIE & AUGUSTINO
VALERIE is on the right and AUGUSTINO is pictured on the left!! Augustino was the more shy of the two, he would squeak if he thought you were going to try touching him, while Valerie was brave but somewhat stand-offish. He was born on February 15th, 2022 and passed unexpectedly on August 1st 2023. His brother Valerie missed him dearly, snuggling up to Gemini at every chance he had up until his passing in early 2024 after complications caused by what we think was a stroke or brain tumor. |
