Housing

The Rattery of Heart of Texas Rats is a cooperative effort among 4 households - Sonja, Susan, Annie and Joyce.

  
 
 
Sonja's rats are housed in the master bedroom [and sometimes the spare bedroom]. They receive hours of human interaction and playtime everyday.
2 - Martin's R695s [Skyscraper] ~  males
and Martin's R670 [Cabin] ~ houses 1 grumpy male
Martin's R690 [Tower] ~ girls
 
 
Quality Cages Large Deluxe Rat Cage ~ maternity/nursery cage
Martins R660 [Cubby] ~ maternity/nursery cage
 
 
 
I use the program Breeder's Assistant to keep records of all our rats, litters and expenses. I keep hard copies of records, receipts, applications and correspondences in binders.
 
 
  
Lots of toys to keep them active and happy.
[this is only a portion of their toys]

 
Susan's rats share the computer room with the rest of the family. It's always "Disneyland" there where they get lots of attention, snacks and playtime.

Lotsa toys to climb on and hide in.
 

 
 
Annie's boys and girls have their very own bedroom which is like a rattie health spa. They enjoy topnotch nutrition, exercise and  healthcare in addition to the one on one attention.
Boys live in a Ferret Nation

Girls live in a custom Martin's cage
