Hello. My name is Laura, I am originally from Warminster, Wiltshire but moved to Wick in the Northern Highlands in October 2006. I absoloutely love it here - it’s so peaceful and quiet and the scenery is just beautiful. The beach in my header pic - yes it’s in the Highlands.
This website is my Rattery website. Technically I don’t have a rattery yet, but one day in the next 12 - 18 months i would like to start breeding rats, concentrating on Black and Champagne selfs and marked. I will be breeding for health and temperment primarily, but also hopefully to show standard, as I am planning on getting into showing in the near future. I currently have four does, all of which are pets and won’t be bred from. The blog will be used for news and updates and information about what’s going on and my progress and I will add pages to the site explaining how I care for my rats.

hiya .. hmm really isnt a comment. I found a baby rat and am not sure how to care for it, I am feeding it baby formula and keeping it warm and helping it potty. But other then that no real idea on what to do for it. It was naked when I found it and has survived 5 nights and now has a little hair coming in Any advice on care would be so appreciated, I’ve grown quite attached to the little guy really hoping he makes it.

Hi there. My advice would be soy milk. They seem to love it and it’s really good for them. Try mixing it with the baby formula. Keep the little guy really warm and play with him a lot. It should be easy to tell if he’s a boy or a girl by whether he has a ball sack or not. Get back to me at drink.pepsi.cola@hotmail.com to let me know how he/she is doing! I have many rats myself and am happy to help.
