Roll The Dice Rattery

Make way for the Princess! No seriously, I mean it. 👑

Princess is a Buff Varigated Berkshire (a/a r/r H/h V/-, carries 0/p aka Pink Eye Dilute or PED).

Princess gained her name from...well being a bit of a Princess! When she first came home, any time we, or another rat touched her, she would voice her opinions and give a little squeak! We often found ourselves going "Oh stop being a Princess!", and decided that should be her name 😅. She has since settled, and no longer has big opinions about being touched (well...most of the time 🤭).

She has just recently had her first litter, and she is being a great mumma. She was a little grumpy for the first few days after birth, but shes back to being her usual self now.

Some breeders don't tolerate any sass from their rats, but we give our girls a few days after birth to come good, especially maiden mothers. Can you imagine giving birth to between 8 and 16 children? I think you'd be pretty irritable for a few days as well! We do not tolerate mothers who try to bite us, as that falls under Maternal Aggression and we specifically breed away from MA (even though it only affects does while they are pregnant/whelping their babies, and they usually return to normal after their hormones settle).

We end up with some funny names for our rats. Originally, Pepto was going to be named Pepper, but my co-breeder (in her tired state) accidentally said Pepto, and thus her name, Pepto Bismol, came to be. 💊

Pepto is a Black Varigated Hooded (a/a h/h V/-, carrying -/r aka Ruby Eye Dilute or RED)

Pepto is Lotties (see her over on ), Xannys and Bandits mother. Pepto absolutely loves cuddles and can usually be found ontop of the cuddle puddle pile in the hammocks. She debatably is in our top 5 best mummas in our rattery. She basically handed her babies to us, and once we were done with them, we would literally hand her babies back to her one by one. 😅

Pepto has only had one litter so far, but we have big plans for her in the future.
