Pricing
We spend a great deal of time handling our babies and making sure every rat is provided a high standard of love and care. Our prices reflect the time and cost that goes into that, as well as the variable cost and travel necessary to obtain and work on certain lines. Our prices are firm as they are necessary to keep our breeding program running smoothly.
$30 – Standard coat, Single Velveteen, Single Rex, Silvermane, Ruby-eyed siamese, Dumbo
We breed for a variety of colors including Black, Russian Blue, Blue Agouti, Agouti, Fawn, Beige, Siamese, Blue-point Siamese, mink, and dove in a variety of coat types.
Standard coats are flat and shiny. They are soft and beautiful, even being the “standard.”
Silvermane is a beautiful gene that hollows out the hair shafts and creates a silvering effect on the coat. It also stays extra soft!
Velveteen and Rex in their single forms are similar, with Rex being a bit curlier and Velveteen being more on the wavy side. They make our babies look extra fluffy and adorable.
Ears can come in standard and dumbo, with dumbo ears being larger and lower on the sides of the rats’ heads. They are quite adorable!
The standard eye color for Siamese rats is ruby. This is a dark red color that looks beautiful with the points.
$40 – Double Rex, Teddy Rex, Double Velveteen, Black-eyed Siamese/Ivory, Marten, Tonkinese, Pearl
Our double rex line is selected to look as naked as possible. We aim for light-colored coats and dark eyes. We breed marten and Tonkinese to have both red/ruby and black eyes.
**Double rex babies carry two of the rex genes. Their hair tends to fall out or be much shorter than normal. We breed our double rex lines to have lighter-colored coats and to look as “naked” as possible. We do not breed true hairless due to the health issues associated with the gene.
Doubling the velveteen gene has the opposite effect as doubling the rex gene. Double Velveteen rats have thicker, plusher, curlier coats than single velveteen. While they sometimes get bald patches during their 5-week molt, their coats will fully return.
Black eye is a specific gene that works on the c-locus genes (siamese, albino, tonkinese, and marten). It covers the standard lighter eye color of these genes and makes them appear black.
Marten rats were originally named “Red Eyed Devils”. The appearance of red eyes against a black coat is stunning. The marten coat often appears marbled as babies and lightens as the rats’ age by fading the red and yellow tones in the coat. Being a c-locus gene, they can be pointed or non-pointed with red or black eyes.
**Tonkinese rats are a rich brown pointed variety. They can be lighter or darker depending on what gene completes their c-locus. We breed our tonkinese with our Siamese rats to create beautifully shaded rats.
Pearl is a gene that only displays on mink rats. They are a beautiful silvery-grey color with black eyes. The undercoat should be white with a hint of cream.
**This line is still being worked on and will become available soon!
$60 Harley (Coming soon…)
We are so excited for our Harley line! We are working velveteen, rex, and silvermane into the line and aim to produce these messy-haired cuties in a variety of colors. Harley is gene that creates longer hair. They tend to look like they have bedhead and I love it. The coats can become a bit wispy with age as they lack an undercoat, but having rex or velveteen in the coat helps to keep the coat thicker.
These guys can be a bit sensitive to high protein in their diets, so we recommend a lower protein diet and to avoid supplementing with high protein foods. They can also get dry skin, much like hairless varieties, so we recommend using coconut oil to help them moisturize. These babies are truly special and absolutely adorable.
$80 Dwarf (Coming soon…)
We adore our dwarf babies. We got a wonderful start to this line with the absolute sweetest little dwarf boys and aim to produce dwarf babies in a variety of coat types and colors. Because dwarf rats have smaller litters and can breed less frequently, we do maintain a separate waitlist for those looking to purchase dwarfs.
**Please note, dwarf rats are not just standard rats selected to be smaller. Dwarfism is a recessive genetic trait that inhibits growth hormone and thus produces rats about 1/3 the size of standard rats. They typically average about 100g full-grown. What they lack in size, they do tend to make up with in personality so it is important to still provide them plenty of cage space to move around.
