Amour Petite Rattery

Leaving paw prints on your heart!

January 2010

January 29, 2010 - Happy New Years! <3 Daniel and I have decided to downsize our rattery, no longer breeding fawn and beige for the moment. I will probably breed them again at a later date, but that won't be for some time. AMOR Badger's (& MSH Fitz's) litter of gorgeous, harley carriers were all placed, but we are expecting two new litters very soon! AMOR Artemis (who was also paired with MSH Fitz) has a huge belly and looks like she'll be giving birth any day now. We expect BES, BE russian blue point siamese, russian blue and black from that litter. All dumbo and carrying harley. More recently we paired AMOR Maki and RRLM Mantis, two of our most adorable dwarfs. They should be BES and burmese marked dwarfs in dumbo and standard ears. We have a long dwarf waiting list so I imagine they'll go quick!

November 2009

November 5, 2009 - I realised that quite a few of the ladies pages weren't linking correctly, so I fixed the problem! You should now be able to click on all their pictures to be directed to their profile. Fanta, Nettle & Happy were all added to the "Residents" page!

October 2009

October 21, 2009 - RRLM Fanta gave birth to a litter of 10 babies on October 15th. The babies should be fawn and beige in berkshire, hooded, standard fur and velveteen! We tried Badger with two of our dwarf boys (Dingus and Kamikaze) and she didn't show interest in either. We may have to breed her to a standard unless she changes her mind about the boys.

October 7, 2009 - We have paired AMOR Badger (BES dumbo) with AMOR Dingus (BES dwarf) in the hopes of introducing darker points into our dwarf lines as well as getting dwarf carriers. The litter should produce all BES in dumbo and standard ear. We're all in the process of updating our website design. Let us know if you like it or think it might be an eye sore!

September 2009

September 27, 2009 - We've had a sort of dry spell as two of our females did not become pregnant after breeding. Due to some health concerns we have also decided to stop breeding our blue line. We may breed russian blue at a later time, but currently are not working with either type of blue. We are introducing both harley (long hair) and fawn into our lines, but it may be some time before these varieties are available. We currently have RRLM Fanta (fawn berkshire rex) paired with RFR Teagan (beige berkshire). Breeding appeared to be successful and we expect fawn and beige in berkshire, hooded, standard fur and rex.

June 2009

June 23, 2009 - We are very sad to announce the passing of four of our beloved girls: AMOR Boo (1 yr, 9 mths), RRLM FooFoo the Snoo(~1 yr), RRLM Faile (2 yr, 1 mth), and AMOR Guinevere (~2 yr). On a brighter note we are anxiously awaiting the birth of RRLM Catalina's second litter. We are expecting Russian blue point Black eyed Siamese, Black Eyed Siamese, and possibly black babies in dumbo and standard ears.

May 2009

May 26, 2009 - All of Cassia's females in her litter have been spoken for, however, there are still 5 wonderful little boys looking for homes. Males rats make wonderful pets. They are what many people like to call "lap rats" because of their docile temperments. Check out the boys HERE!

May 25, 2009 - AMOR Cassia x BLR Phillip had 14 babies on April 20, 2009! The litter is all agouti standards in berkshire and self, dwarf and standard size. 7 males and 7 females. All dwarfs are spoken for, but the rest of the litter is now available.

March 2009

April 6, 2009 - All 13 of Catalina's litter have been spoken for, but Bella still has 1 black eyes siamese boy available. He's only 6 1/2 weeks old and has a wonderful temperment. Leslie of Bleu Royale also has a black hooded dumbo available of similar age who would make a perfect companion. Please e-mail me if you're interested!

February 2009

February 13, 2009 - The "Ladies" and "Gents" pages have been updated. A new page named "Past Litters" has also been linked to the bottom of the "Litters" page to free up space and only keep the most recent information on the "Litters" page. The "Litters" page has also been updated to make room for the upcoming litters of our rattery. We have no babies available at this time, only in the next 1-2 months.

February 4, 2009 - We have 2 litters in the works right now, though both are located in Cotati. Pickup can be arranged either in Cotati or Dublin. We expect both litters within the next couple weeks. The first litter is between RRLM Foofoo x RRLM Lan. We're expecting wheaton burmese, siamese & black eyed siamese in velveteen and standard fur as well as dumbo and standard ears. All should be dwarf. Dwarf litters have been small in the past so the waiting list is likely to be very small. Our second litter is between PCKG Bella x SHFR Sammy. We expect all standard size in standard and dumbo ears in sable burmese.

December 2008

December 2, 2008 - Happy belated Thanksgiving! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful time with family and good food! Guin's litter is entirely spoken for, but Boo's are still pending. If you're interested in adopting, please let us know! Also - upcoming litters in the "Litters" section have been updated with detailed descriptions of our next litters! E-mail us if you'd like to be put on a potential waiting list.

November 2008

November 14, 2008 - AMOR Guin (bred to MSH Lancelot) gave birth to what appears to be 4 babies today! We're surprised at the small litter, but the babies look happy and healthy! AMOR Boo (bred to SHFR Sammy) also gave birth to only 4 babies earlier this week. While both small litters, we're expecting gorgeous babies

October 2008

October 5, 2008 - AMOR Tayla gave birth to 7 babies on September 16th! There are quite a few people on the waiting list, but depending on when we can meet and where you are located, certain people will have to take priority. Amour Petite Rattery was moved to Davis, CA and also split in half. Daniel took the boys along with him to Cotati and I have the girls in Davis. We will still be doing breedings together, but the pickup will depend on who did the breeding and when we can come together. My family still lives in Livermore, so I kept that as a location, but Davis is the most convenient meeting location for me right now.

July 2008

July 16, 2008 - We are also happy to announce that AMOR Guinevere and ONIX Lancelot had a litter of 10 babies today! While we already have many on the waiting list, we are expecting a few openings with the two litters!

July 14, 2008 - We are sad to announce to death of one of our most adored boys and "sausage rats", RRLM Gavin. Gavin was 2 years and 1 month when he passed and he will be greatly missed. On a much more positive note, with death has also come new life. AMOR Boo has given birth to 9 healthy babies. We expect agouti dumbos and standard from this litter, but there is a very slight chance of siamese and wheaton burmese.

April 2008

April 2, 2008 - The two litters are almost entirely reserved! 2 females are pending! The ladies and gents profiles have been updated so please check them out to see more of the residents of the rattery! Both litters have also been added to the litters page! Photos are being finished up and added!

March 2008

March 26, 2008 - RRLM Faile x BLR Francis had 3 babies on March 13! 1 burmese, 1 himi and 1 siamese. All dumbos, all females. AMOR Boo x BLR Francis had 4 babies on March 15. Burmese and siamese in standard and dumbo ears! Now taking reservations! ONIX Lancelot and BLR Daerven's profiles have been added to the website!

January 2008

January 15, 2008 - Happy New Year Everybody!  Min had her first litter of 2 baby girls and the first dwarves at Kitty's Rattery! Both babies already have their homes though! Elaine, however, gave birth to 9 babies on January 9th! Dumbos standards in different shades of blue!

October 2007

October 14, 2007 - Faile and Perrin gave birth to 12, healthy babies! Burmese, siamese and himi babies in rex, standard, dumbo and standard ear! Lots available, please check out "LITTERS" for more information on the babies!

July 2007

July 14, 2007 - Kitty's Rattery just adopted 2 additional ratties from Hilloah of Ratz Realm this summer! A black eyed siamese dumbo rex named Faile and her brother, a burmese rex dumbo named Indiana (or Indie!). Later this month we will be bringing in our first dwarf female, a burmese and a blue dumbo. All of these rats are fairly young still, but will make wonderful additions to the rattery! Keep an eye out for future litters (Likely September-October).

March 2007

March 8th, 2007 - Sorry for the huge absense everybody! I've been incredibly swamped with college these past few months! All but two of Clemmentine's babies were adopted (two siamese males), but I am hoping for 1-2 new litters coming up soon! Because of the huge amount of requests, I plan to more specifically breed dumbo earred rats from now on, though will still have the occassional litter of standars until I get more dumbo babies!

January 2007

January 4th, 2007 - HAPPY NEW YEARS! Clemmentine had her first litter of both siamese & burmese babies born on December 23rd! The babies should be ready in just 3-4 more weeks and are already displaying beautiful colors! A waiting list shall be compiled very soon! We are also expecting to be getting 2-4 more ratties sometime in April from Ratz Realm. Of these new ratties, the majority should be dwarves to begin our first dwarf breeding line!

October 2006

October 12th, 2006 - Fawna, my darling beige rex dumbo gave birth to her first litter of 7 babies on October 9th. By the looks of it, it appears as though the babies will all be dark in color. I'm expecting some dumbos and/or rex, velveteens. A waiting list will be compiled, but colors, fur types and genders won't be posted until a later date! Expect photos very soon! I am also looking to outcross my burmese and black eyed himi boys with siamese females. Preferably a siamese, dumbo female, may or may not be rex.

September 2006

September 11th, 2006 - This summer was very difficult because I, Bri, lost four very wonderful rats. Tinkerbell, Benjamin, Coco and Belle all passed on, whether it was due to old age, the incredible heat we faced or some unknown factor. All lived wonderful healthy lives while they were with me and I will miss them greatly. I have been somewhat neglecting the site partially due to this, but I feel now it is best if I let everyone know what has happened. On a much more pleasant note, both KIT Fawna and RLM Howl have been put together and we should be expecting a litter in October.

July 2006

July 12th, 2006 - Two males from Ratz Realm have been reserved for our rattery! A burmese standard ear and a black eyed white velveteen. I am expecting lots of beautiful babies from these two boys. I was also hoping to snag a dwarf male while I was there, but nothing is confirmed as of yet. I´m worried I may have too many females at the moment, but if I can´t help myself I may get a beautiful fawn dumbo dwarf while I am up in Pasadena as well!

April 2006

April 28, 2006 - Because Holly's litter was so large, her babies are not as big as I would feel comfortable adopting them out. I am very sorry about the late notice, but Holly's babies won't be available until May 6th, to give me another week to make them nice & plump! 14 babies has got to be a lot of work! So far they are eating, drinking and running around everywhere, but they're just somewhat small! Photos of the litter will be up by tonight or tommorow night and everyone on the waiting list will be entitled to choose the exact rattie they would like to take home!

April 26th, 2006 - 14 Healthy Babies! As I have said in my last entry, Holly of Kitty's Rattery was bred with Bleu Royale's Felipe towards the end of March (exact date, information & link to baby photos will be available shortly on Holly's page!) and Holly's given birth to 14 healthy babies! They are all beginning to get their colors and look absolutely beautiful! 3 pale colors, 4 self darker colors and 7 variegated beauties! It will be hard to choose which one to keep, though I think i'm fond of the fawn one already! Expect more photos very shortly

March 2006

March 23rd, 2006 - Expecting Babies! Holly of Kitty's Rattery was bred with Bleu Royale's (formerly Leslie's Babies) Felipe and I am expecting a happy, healthy litter any day now! Holly's stomach is larger than many of my past mama's and she's already beginning to make a little nest! This will be Holly's first litter, but I am expecting mostly dumbos as well as some rex and blue agoutis!

There won't be a waiting list just yet, but if you're interested, please e-mail me!

December 2005

December 3rd, 2005 - Photos & Pedigrees! I have been busying myself updating nearly every section! There are quite a few more photos (the ladies & gents pages have image links now!) Dot, Holly & Zoe also have their pedigrees up and all of the hamsters pages have been updated aswell. The past litters now has links to the specific litter with images and information

October 2005

October 26th, 2005 - More Updates! I've updated The Gents page with information pertaining to my never ending search for handsome studs, Litters page with info on Tinkerbell's recent litter of 7 and finally the Adoption page is nicely filled out!

October 25th, 2005 - Looking for Affiliates! I added quite a bit to the website! If you'd like to affiliate e-mail me (once I have my e-mail up!). I have also added two new baby dumbos to my family and news about Tinkerbell's litter!

October 20th, 2005 - Kitty's Rattery officially opens!
