We do have babies available!
Please be aware that breeding season only lasts through the end of Spring. Breeding season is over during the Summer as rats loose fertility in hot weather.

Adding new rats into your colony can be one of the most stressful things to deal with. The rats can get so upset when new rats are coming in, and in their opinion "threatening their territory".

Over the years the rat community has used many different scents to mask the odor of the new rat. Some have used vanilla, while some just shampoo the new rat. Those work ok. But I have found that putting cocoanut oil on the old rats works even better. So my method is to clean the entire cage right before adding the new rat, and oil the old rats before putting in the new one. This way the old rat is so busy getting clean he isn't worried about the new rat that you just added. Also a benefit of oiling your old rat, is that you can especially do this when your older rat is very dominant. And it makes the other rats turn him over and sniff him. And see how he likes it. Instead of him turning your new ones over and hassling them. It turns the tables on the situation to your benefit. And turns all of the attention to the older rat not the new one.

One of the best things about coconut oil is its ability to moisturize the skin. So why not start doing it as soon as you get the rat!
