DesertRose Rattery

Quality-Bred Fancy Rats

We here at DesertRose strive to produce the best pet rats possible.

Top priorities for our rats include health, temperament, and desirable pet-like qualities (see: cuteness).

We are also registered with AFRMA ( American Fancy Rat and Mouse association. ) 

We aim to spread our love and affection for these clever and highly affectionate creatures by taking the fancy rat to all-new levels of lovability.

ABOUT SECTION

DesertRose has been creating healthy, happy, high-quality pet rats since 2019. In addition to our pet-quality rat breeding, DesertRose accepts surrenders by owners whenever we can. We offer this service to keep the rats safe and cared for during the search for their permanent home. Potential owners of surrendered rats undergo the same thorough vetting process as potential owners of our bred rats. Your rat(s) will find a loving home.

Critically, we treat our rats ethically and respectfully. Finding the right pairings to create rats with idealized features (size, coat, shape) is a process that takes much time and dedication over many generations. However, this is a natural and delicate process that we treat with the utmost patience and respect. When breeding our rats, we ultimately aim for the betterment of their species above all else. 

We assure that our rats are well-socialized to both humans and other rats. For this purpose, we mandate that our rats receive homes in bonded pairs to promote their quality of life and ease of sociability.
