Planned Litters

We aim to plan at least six months ahead for all our litters - as we believe that thoughtful planning is very important when it comes to breeding responsibly.

Our girls are paired once they're 6 months old, and no later than 12 months. We typically do not pair a girl more than once, but if we do it'll be a maximum of two litters. All our boys are over 18 months before we pair them.

As we're breeding for health and temperament first and foremost, and then a secondary focus on our markings line.

Sometimes our plans fail and we will cancel litters before they happen.

Upcoming litters

Feb 2026

Ratbags Rattery 'Mousey'

Agouti Irish

Mousey & Harry

Expected colours: Black, Agouti and possibility of Black eyed white

Expected markings: Berkshire, Irish, Self and Hood.

Coats: Standard but with a possibility of Carrier & Fluffy

This is an exciting litter - we're having the beautiful Mousey visiting us from Ratbags Rattery in Christchurch. She is being paired to the handome Iggy.

This litter is particularly exciting for us, as it'll be a wonderful addition to our markings lines, as Mousey is unrelated to both our current lines. Bringing new blood into a line is a really sensible decision, especially as both Mousey & Harry have long pedigrees.

Harry

Black blaze variberk

Moth

Agouti Hood

Moth + Jimmy

Expected colours: Black and Agouti

Expected markings: Hoods

Coats: Carriers & Fluffy

This is a litter I've thought a lot about. It will be a good way to introduce new genes into the fluffy lines. While Moths background is a mystery, Jimmy has a pedigree I can date back more than 5 generations.

Harry

Black blaze variberk

June 2026

Kowhai

Cinnamon splitcap

Kowhai & Harry

Expected colours: Black, Agouti, Mink, Cinnamon and Black eyed white

Expected markings: Hoods & Berkshires

Coats: Standard

This is SUCH an exciting litter, as both parents have blazes. While Kowhais has moulted out, the genes are still there. This is likely to be the first blaze x blaze rat pairing, so it should be exciting!

Markings wise, this should be cool - lots of variegation, minimal hoods and fingers crossed for blazes.

Black blazed variberk
