~Summer is here and it's HOT!

To help combat the heat, we have three new lines of loung items. Check out our Summer, Animal, and Rockstar lines at our webstore.

*If you are on our mailing list, you will receive a free chew with each purchase of $20 or more (not including shipping).

~The retreat will be taking in one girl and four boys soon. It will be a couple of weeks before any of them are ready to go home due to quanrantine procedures and genereal health and temperament checks. Photos and information will be posted when the new rescues are ready to go home.

~There are a few people on the current wait list, but no pregnant females have come in within the past few months. If you would like to sign up for the wait list you may still do so and if there is a litter you will get higher priority.

Things Slow At The Rescue

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since the last update and I apologize. Things have been busy busy busy in my life and slow slow slow at the rescue. Without involving my personal life in it too much, due to a MAJOR cut in hours, I am not taking in as many rescues, if any at the moment. There are a few that still need good homes and there may be a litter as well, but if there is, you will know! Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone. Please check back in a couple weeks to see if there will be a litter. You will probably see something on Goosemoose as well.
Thanks!

Have a great weekend!

December 16, 2008

On December 12, 2008, our pregnant mama gave birth to 13 beautiful and healthy babies! We are still taking reservations if anyone is interested in this litter. Just visit our Available Rescues tab and fill out a reservation form.

December 8, 2008

Pre-reservations are still being taken for the Blue Agouti Dumbo girl's litter, as well as the litter for a Velveteen girl. Babies should be expected any day now! They're both very round! Check back for photos and updates!

November 13, 2008

We currently have one pregnant Blue Agouti Dumbo girl. We are not exactly sure when she is due. We don't know who the father is, but the babies could possibly be dumbo, or half dumbo half standard. Keep an eye out for updates. Pre-reservations are being taken now.

October 22, 2008

We will be taking in one litter in the near future so keep an eye out for that. We will also either take in a pregnant doe, or take in just the litter. The two pregnant does that we took in have been e-spayed per the owners request. Check for updates on the two litters we will be taking in! So many babies!

October 16, 2008

Just a reminder to everyone that if you can NO LONGER care for your rats, you must PLEASE contact the rescue. We will take in the rats you have adopted. I am reminding everyone of this now because I just saw a Craigslist posting from someone who adopted 3 rats from me and are now trying to sell them on Craigslist. This is a disappointing surprise...and what was more disappointing was that they used images from our rescue site on their post!

PLEASE keep in mind that you sign a contract when you adopt these animals and breaching it is not the ideal thing for you to do. We will take back the rats with no hard feelings. Things happen and that is TOTALLY understandable, what is the most important thing is that they are cared for properly.

Thank You.

There are 98 babies who are in need of good homes!
If you can help, please visit Happy Go Lucky Rattery

PLEASE HELP!

The following is a message from Happy Go Lucky Rattery:

Recently we were contacted by a friend of ours, who works at Universal Studios. The "Animal Actors" show at Universal had recently purchased what they thought were all male rats to be used in their show. Unfortunately, 14 of them were females and 11 of them were pregnant. The trainers loved the rats and nobody wanted them to be used as feeders or put to sleep, so they were asking for help with all of these babies. Today we went to Universal and helped separate the weaned babies.

To make a long story short, we couldn't see leaving anybody behind... We ended up bringing home 11 moms with their babies and 3 females without babies. Now we are drowning in babies!!!

Most of the litters were ready to be weaned, so those were separated (these are all about 5 to 6 weeks old). We still have 3 litters that are 2 to 4 weeks old. We have a total of 98 rats. All the moms are about 4 to 6 months old. We desperately need help socializing all these babies so that they can find good homes. They're all happy and healthy, they just need a little more one-on-one time with humans.

We would love to find foster and/or permanent homes willing to take a mom and her babies.
We have lots of Siamese, Pink Eyed White, Black, Black Irish, and a few Variegated.

If you're interested in taking home one of these groups, or a portion of one, plese let us know.

If anyone wants to help with donations of bedding, food, etc. we would appreciate that as well. At this time we have enough cages but as they get older we'll need additional cages to separate them.

September 5, 2008

Our West Los Angeles location will not be taking in any more rescues for at least two months. We have taken in two pregnant does. One litter is expected to be half dumbo half standard eared and we're not sure of the colors. Like the mother of our recent rescue litter, this doe will be returned to the owner once the pups are weaned. The other litter is unknown in color and ears. We will be keeping this doe. More updates will be posted once the litters are on their way. Pre-reservations will be taken in the near future.

August 19, 2008
The all dumbo rescue litter was BORN TODAY, August 19, 2008! I am taking pre-reservations. The babies will be ready to adopt in about 5 weeks.
2 boys and 3 girls still available. There is also a girl with 1 to 6 pregnant females in Fresno, CA. We may be taking in one or two of them. If anyone is interested in taking any from her, please let me know and I can contact her. There are 3 cages still for sale. Our webstore is also up and running!
**Someone filled out an order form for food. I JUST set up the new program yesterday and it's apparent that kinks need to be worked out. Please e-mail me with the size Grain Grub you want. Thanks!**

August 10, 2008
5 bucks ranging in age from 4 months to almost 2 years will be available for adoption soon. Photos will be taken and will be up soon. Keep an eye out if you're interested.
I also have some large and smaller size cages for sale...both ferret and rat. Shoot me an e-mail for cage dimensions, photos and pricing. contact@rockstarrats.com
Title the e-mail CAGES

Someone filled out a form on August 8. I was unable to read it. All of the characters were jumbled. If this was you, please fill it out again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you!

Rockstar Rats has taken in a pregnant female. She is still very early in her pregnancy, but her litter will be entirely dumbo eared. She is a Russian Blue Point Siamese and the buck is an Agouti. After she gives birth and the litter is weaned, she will return to her home. The rescue will keep and care for the babies. They will be ready to adopt out in approx. 9 weeks.
