Here at Ravencharm Rattery there will occasionly be litters. Rats will be paired based on health, temperament and conformation. Babies will be sold as pet-only unless you are an established rattery which is approved by me.

Take a look at the testimonials to see what past adopters have to say about their Ravencharm rat(s).

• Potential adopters are required to fill out an adoption application
• Applications will be reviewed to determine good homes
• Adopters are required to agree to and sign an adoption contract before taking their rat(s) home
• Rats are never placed as feeders
• Rats are placed in pairs unless proof of compatible cage mate is given
• Rats are placed as pet only, meaning they are not to be bred unless written approval is given by me
• Rats are to be returned to Ravencharm Rattery if new home does not work out or if new owner can no longer care for them
• Any rat that does not find a home stays with me, either forever or until a home can be found. I do not cull

This guarantee only covers rats bred at Ravencharm Rattery for the first 14 days after leaving the rattery against any congenital or hereditary defects. Rats adopted from Ravencharm must be properly quarantined for a period of no less than 14 days after leaving Ravencharm for the guarantee to be valid. I recommend that the adopter has all rats checked by a vet to ensure they are in good health within this period. The adopter must report any medical problems within the period of guarantee, reports made after the 14 days will be invalid. If the rat is deemed by a veterinarian to be in "unsound health" within the 14 day period the adopter may request a replacement for another rat of equal value. Ravencharm may request contact information for the veterinarian to validate the claim.

• Babies (up to 4 months old)- $25 for first baby rat, $15 for each after (a same sex pair of babies would be $40)
• Adults (4+ months old)- $15 for first adult rat, $10 for each after (a same sex pair of adults would be $25)

You must put a 50% deposit per rat you want reserved, with the remaining half due in cash on pickup. You also have the option to pay the rat off in full. You have seven days from the time the litter is born to get that payment to me in order to lock in your hold. For a rat(s) not in a litter, or already born but not yet reserved, you will have three days after I contact you requesting the payment in order to lock in your hold. If you want a rat and have not put a deposit on it within the required amount of days then others will be given the option to make the deposit, the person who made the deposit gets the rat. If you have made a deposit on a rat(s) 50% of the total adoption price is non-refundable if you decided not to get the rat(s).

You may get on our waiting list after you have approval for adoption, but I will not secure the rat(s) you want until you send me the deposit. You can do that right after you have approval for adoption or, for babies, you can wait until I contact you after the babies are born.

Appointments will be set for picking up your new rats once they are six weeks or older, if you are unable to get them on the pickup date there will be a $1 per day fee to cover food and bedding until you are able to get them.
