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 rats home
• Rats are never placed as feeders
• Rats are always placed in same-sex pairs, even if there is rats currently in the home
• 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

• Rats are currently $40 each

COVID POLICY: Due to resent events I have adjusted the process for adoptions. Currently we are not taking deposits and will instead be taking the full adoption fee up to one week before the babies go home.

HOW WILL THIS WORK?: A week before the babies are ready to go home I will send a link with the reservation process to those who have reached out to be on the list and filled out an application. I will also post them to my Facebook Page, though they are often all spoken for by then. Rats are reserved based on who is the first to pay through the reservation site. If you need/want to wait until a different litter or for better timing please just reply and let me know, I am happy to keep you on the list as long as you want if I am getting a response so I know you are still interested. If I do not get a reply after I reach out you will be removed from the list until you reach out.

WHY?: Since COVID has made things rather unpredictable I feel planning sooner than a week out could lead to complications and missed pickups. I do not wish to deal in cash at this time which is why the full adoption price is required ahead of time. Due to the large number of interest in babies, but also a large number who change their minds, it is much easier to just allow the first to pay to get their first choice, especially given only a week before they are ready to go.

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.
