Our Pets
We have always had lots of pets. In 1980s
and 1990s we bred Abyssinian Cats. We
still have one old blue female Aby, Java
who is 15 years old.
Taboo is our Doberman who gets all
excited if any of the rats have a
disagreement. If Tabby hears any
squeaking she runs over and barks at the
cage. The rats are so surprised they stop
squabbling and run to look at the dog.
In the summer if 2007 Emma, a Red Ear
Slider turtle came to live with us as a
foster pet. We have grown so fond of her
we no longer are looking for another home.
Emma is 10 years old and about 9 inches
long.

We got out first rats in 2004 from the Best Little Rabbit, Rodent and Ferret
House. Taco and Taquito were 15 months old and had a sign on their cage
saying they were looking for a retirement home. After seeing them at the
shelter a couple of times I asked if I could hold them. One of them (I can't
remember which one) looked up at me and bruxed. I was totally hooked.
Since then we always have some rescue rats. Here are some of the rescue
rats we have been lucky to share our lives with.

Monty came from rescue in Idaho. In the summer
of 2010 he was found with 80 other rats that were
left in tanks in an apartment with no food or water.
Some died before they were found. Monty is the
first double rex we have ever had.
