  Here are some pics of the boys for you. (finally)! I know I am WAY behind and owe you pictures of Sugar and Spice. You would not believe how big Sugar is!! I have not even had time to download Christmas pics yet, but they are both doing well and are very sweet. Nathan and Spice have really taken to each other and Sugar seems to be more interested in crawling around my office and sleeping on my neck while I am working. Robby 2/2010 |
Hi Amy, Just wanted to let you know that the babies are doing great, they're awesome. I'll send photos soon. Lorene 2/2010 |
| Tomorrow and Cherry
are doing great. Cherry and Hoodie sleep together all the time.
Tomorrow is a bit more independent. Three rats are smellier that two and I
have to clean more often. I gave all three a "bath" yesterday since they were
settled in and used to me holding them. They smell a litter better
today. Take care. April

| Adopter Name: = Kate Which Rats Did You Adopt? And When? = Yesterday, 12/26/09,I adopted the Agouti and cinnamon females from the Fate and Lights litter and the Balck down-under female from the Peacemaker/Go It Alone litter. Please Add Any Adopter Comments Here. = THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rats are doing great, they are still settling in, but they are getting along nicely and exploring there new home. Cassiopeia, Cassie, (the black D/U) loves the soft tube my aunt got for her and doesn't like to come out of it much...maybe she isn't used to her surroundings yet. Haleakala, Holly, (the cinnamon roan) loves to run, run, run on the wheel. Annapurna, Anna, (the agouti roan) is pretty much just a go with the flow kind of girl. They love to snuggle with each other in the hanging bed and the soft tube. Last night they obviously felt lazy and pushed over the shoebox igloo to use as a bridge to the hanging bed. This morning they were all snuggled up together in the hanging bed. When they got up they simply jumped down instead of crossing the makeshift bridge! so much work....Right now they are sleeping together, Anna is in the bed, and Cassie and Holly are all scrunched up together in the tube. I never expected the tube to become such a popular sleeping place, but it is. I cant tell you enough how great they are and how thankful I am. 12/2009 |
| The baby rat I got from you is the best pet I've ever had! He's doing great and he's so pretty - Russian blue. Kay A. 12/2009 |
 Hello Amy! I wanted to send you a little picture I took of the roan that I adopted from you. I decided to name him Onigiri, which means Rice Ball. I hope you like it! It has no particular purpose aside from being incredibly cute. (The image is attached to this e-mail) Hope you enjoy it! Anzhella 12/2009 |
  Here is an updated pic. He is changing very quickly! I love it. He is also just soooo happy to park himself on my chest and stay there! Thank you for him. He is beautiful. Leslie 12/2009 |
   Hi Amy!! An update on my crew. First, Peacemaker x Nausea boys. They are doing great! They are making themselves comfortable in their new home and they love running up and down each level & running together in their wheel (so cute) at night and cuddling up together in their hammock during the day. They love to be held and snuggle up close to me bruxing in contentment. Their names are House, Wilson & Foreman. Daphne is doing wonderful. Growing so big and is very happy.
She's a love and comes running to the cage door when I come to say hi.
She's first one there to greet me. She loves to ride on my shoulder
and would prefer to be out of her cage all day, LOL. :) She has such
a playful personality. Here is a recent picture of her. Happy x Here
comes the sun. She is a little over 3 months old now.
 Then there is little Ms. Brit. She's so cool! She is so lovely,
pretty, soft and a complete joy! She's full of personality as well.
She is the queen of bruxing, she loves to talk, she wags her tail when
I hold her , back and forth like a dog, she nibbles my fingers in
affection and is so sweet. I can't say enough about her, she fits in
great. She loves my dominate female , Betty, she snuggles under her in
the igloo. Betty took to her right away and treats her like her own
baby. :) Brit is a Roan from RG Hit the lights x RG Mercyful Fate
litter. She is almost 2 months old now. Also a picture of her and
Betty in the igloo.
 Thank you Amy for making my first ratty babies a wonderful
experience and being such a wonderful breeder who cares about the
quality and well being of her ratties. I love them terribly!! I will
get more from you no doubt!

   Hey Amy I just wanted to give you an update, here are a few pictures that
I took of the boys. They are all getting along well together. I often
see them sleeping together in the hammocks! I couldn't be happier with
all three boys! I named him Harry and he is already growing! I'm
getting a new cage which means I might be getting another baby from you
:) Thanks Amy for such great boys! I enjoy them very much!

  Hi Amy! Brit is happily living with my girls now & getting along with everyone, of course :) She's a very sweet girl and a growing girl. She's really silver now on her sides and the cinnamon is a bit more silver too, in one week she has changed so much. Here are a couple of pictures of her today. I bet she is done molting now for awhile but it's very cool watching her color change already. She is the best! Well Daphne is too. :) Sarha 11/2009 |
 I took this picture of Brit last night. She has settled in nice. I'll take more pictures today and of course share on the chat group. LOL. :) I just love your babies! Thanks so much for taking such good care of them! Your hard work really shows in the quality of your ratties. Sarha Next day via the forum: Thanks everyone! She is stunning and Amy, she is roaning
away! She's really changing daily. She is such a neat little girl and
she is settling into her new home nicely. She isn't one bit scared of
my dogs and she 'chatters' her teeth when I hold her, I love when she
does it in my ear while she's on my shoulder. :) I could go on and on
about how great she is. Sarha 11/2009 |
| Hi Amy, Just wanted to send you off a quick email while I have a quick moment on my daughter's computer. All the boys and girls are doing fantastic. I don't recall if I had mentioned this before, but there are 2 funny ones that stand out a little more. The Burmese girl that you said escaped on you still loves to escape! She is sneaky and quick about it so has been able to get by me a couple times. I am sure she had a blast by the sassy look in her eye as she made me work at catching her. LOL! One of the things I don't like about the Critter Nation now are those large doors. ;-) The other little character is the bareback boy. My daughter named him after her favorite rat (even though her's was a female), Ossie. He also tries to escape but not to take off exploring, but rather to climb on you. He is very insistent on being with us and on being a rodentist! He demands and gets everyones attention that meets him. He has become my special boy. Take care. TTYL Desiree Merri Whiskers Rattery |
  Well I have my new baby girl. She's such a doll. I just love her! Daphne is her name & it fits her so well. She is getting settled in and isn't bothered by my dogs at all. She's going to be such fun. I have attached a couple of pictures. I couldn't be happier with her. Thank you Amy!! Sarha 10/2009 |
   I just want to share some pictures of Yes and Pepper who I just adopted from Amy! They are such sweet boys, I know I'm really going to enjoy them both! Pepper loves to talk a lot and Yes just loves to be held! Both of them have great personalities. Melissa 10/2009 |
Hi Karen and Amy,
So, Jamie (my 15 year old) grabbed her camera and got them munching away.
From the left: Magnolia (aka Maggie
or Moo Moo) from Karen, Can’t Buy Me Love (my son simply calls her Lovey
Dovey), Auntie Pumpkin (her stripe really is right in the middle of her back so

her friend Daisy died in early August), and finally Tipsy (or Tipsy Turvy or
Tipsy Toodles) from Cama. Kelly B 10/2009 |

   Hi Amy! Well we have had the girls (from Beatrix's litter) for a
week now and we absolutely love them!!! 2 are extremely out going and one
is a bit more shy. The children I care for as well as my own of course really
enjoy watching them. Well we really are enjoying
the girls very much. Olina 9/2009 |
| You can't go wrong getting a rat from Amy.
They are long lived and have excellent temperaments. I am absolutely in
love with my little girl brood of ratties.

I just say that I was at Amy's last Sat. and met the little hairless
dwarf. He is the most special cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on...
if I had males instead of females I would have snatched them (him in
particular) up right away!! very sweet creatures!!! Also another
thought... I just adopted 3 girls from Beatrix's litter as well as
Beatrix herself. I believe there are a few males from her litter left.
Beatrix and the girls are soooo gentle and sweet so I would imagine
that the boys would make fantastic pets!!!
Warmly, ~Olina~ 9/2009 |

I posted all of their pictures on the rat list group page in an album, since I have 11 and boys as well as girls It was easier to upload their pictures as I could get them to be still long enough. Thank you Amy for allowing me to give them their retirement villas. Mooshy? Is Gimme Shelter, he is just like a cat, I was sitting in the bathroom with them after cleaning out the cage and he actually was rubbing around my ankle just like a cat would do. Everyone is healthy and happy. 7/2009 |
| Hi! I'm not sure if you remember me, but we bought two female dumbo
rats from your Mary Jane line almost 2 years ago. One was blue, the
other black. We named the blue one Willow and the black one Ivy. Anyway, my husband and I are moving back to Pennsylvania to be with my family at the end of the month, and we just had a conversation with his sister-in-law about how awesome rats are as pets, and I said that we definitely are going to get more. When Ivy passes, we'd like to get two boys. Josh mentioned that he wants to get them from you again since our girls were so good, but I don't think we're going to ever be driving out here again. Thanks for breeding awesome rats! I tell everyone I know to consider rats as pets and tell them where we got ours (you!). Kirsten 7/2009 |

Amy,
Hey, I just wanted to check in and let you know that the two dwarf
dumbo boys are settling in nicely. They have a great time playing on
all the shelves and tunnels I put into my 55 gallon tank. They
especially love their hammock I made for them! Whenever I come home
from work, they peek out from their hammock to greet me, just begging
to come out and run around! I swear, I've been eating so much
healthier now that I keep my two boys (Falx and Dimitri, as I have
dubbed them) in mind when I'm cooking! Even though these boys weren't
part of one of your planned litters, it just goes to show what quality
rats they come from. Thanks for my popcorny and playful ratties! I'll
send some pictures of us soon... Chelsea 6/2009 |
Oh Amy. I am so in love.  These babies have the perfect
temperament! So playful, outgoing, curious, licky and cuddly. I
couldn't ask for more. And I'm so glad I decided to get Cheyenna, black Rex. She is so beefy, I have to look twice to make sure she isn't DD.DD must be going thru the teenage gangly stage. She longer than Cheyenna but when they are curled up sleeping in the ferret tunnels, they look the same size. Good thing Dream isn't black or I really would have trouble. LOL It's no wonder it took so long to tell if Miya was a dwarf or not. She so petite & feminine. And of course, Keyni is just the greatest. I could just sit in front of the cages and watch them for hours. Oh Ya, that's what I have been doing all morning.  Karen H2R Rattery 6/2009 |
| Hi Amy, I just wanted you to know that little "DD" (my baby from "D" and Pam's litter)is doing great. She is so playful and pop-corny. When we play she just hops all over the place. She's so funny. Thanks Amy for such a great baby. Karen H2R Rattery 5/2009 |
Hi Amy, Just thought I’d check in with you to let you know that Misty and Annie are doing wonderful and the entire family (along with friends and neighbors) love them very, very much. They get LOTS of attention not only from Danielle and Michelle, but I’ll catch myself getting them out of their cage during the day and playing with them. I’ve even caught my husband coming home for lunch and playing with “the girls”. Thank you for letting us adopt your amazing little pets. Carol 5/2009 |
Amy--We love our little fuzzy creatures!! We have had so much fun
with them. Thank you for giving them so much love as babies. They are
so loving and friendly:)
Jenny Lea
P.S. My daughter Katie says Hi and promises she will send a picture soon:) 5/2009 |
Misty and Annie are still doing great. The girls can’t seem to get enough of them. Needless to say the rats are certainly not lacking for attention. The rats are very loving and sweet and the kids (and rats) love to cuddle, especially right before bedtime (at least bedtime for the girls). Every once in a while, when the rats are in the cage, they are either wrestling (fighting) or just playing and being rambunctious. Nobody ever gets hurt, I just don’t know if this is normal “rat behavior”. Anyway, we are all loving the rats, except our 80 lbs English Setter who is scared of them (he was once attacked by a Chihuahua and has been afraid of small animals ever since). Take Care, Carol 5/2009 |

  I adopted two berk girls last September who were bred from Cannon X Yorba. They are both still doing well and get along with my older rat. One has gotten quite large, while her sister is this tiny, nimble thing. They both are very funny. :D Here's some pics. Volt and Nimbus are the rats I got from you. Caryn 4/2009 |

Mustard is such a lover boy, always kissing and grooming every time momma gives him scritches. The twins Udon and Miso are kissers cuddlers as well. My oldest, Kenro, is such a lil darling. He is quite content sitting on your shoulder or in your lap; the other 3 boys are even teaching him to become more or a kisser and groomer. All 5 of my kids are bruxers and are doing fabulous. I will send you pics of them very soon. Submitted using the adopter comments form 4/2009 |
| Hello I wanted to let you know that the boys are doing well. I have named I am the Walrus "Wall-e" for short and the unnamed boy is "Moe". Of course Screwdriver kept his name. Thank you for these boys and I will send a "real" update later with pictures! -- Mary Kirsten W. 4/2009 |
Subject: Christie Road I did something I had hoped to do with her since I got her, I couldn’t get her out of the cage to cuddle with her so I brought her cage over on my bed opened the door, sat on the bed and waited. She came out, I tickled her back into the cage, she peeked out got out and ran over to me, I chased her back into the cage, she and I played for about an hour on the bed, then I put her back up on the guinea pig cage. We had such a good time!!! And I have figured out how to get the other 3 out to play now, do the same thing, next I’ll clean out both cages put everyone back in them and then put one cage on each side of the bed and let the door stay open, Casper, Christie, Baby and Pixie will all get to meet each other together in the middle. We can all play together and have “safe zones” on each side of the bed so they don’t have to be chased into the cages. This is what I used to do with my “little Girl” rat I’d toss her to the end of my bed, she’d come running back up, we’d tussle at the top and I’d toss her back, this would go on for quite a while till she thought she needed a break. Christie is inquisitive, she’s smart, she is very playful, and for a treat after all the play, I cut off a 3 inch square of soft material from my dog’s dog jacket. She is so great. Can’t wait to get them all out to play. I’m going to try to get my camera in the room at the same time so I can do a little movie of her playing. I’ll keep you posted of her progress in the wrestling field. Nora 3/2009 |
 Hi Amy, Things are going great with my little "rat pack". I named my little dwarf Hubble for the Hubble space telescope because he orbits around the cage at the speed of a spaceship. Michelle D. 3/2009 |
| I just wanted to let y'all know, I got my new lil ratty from Amy, found a ride up to Denver and everything. Elanor, is fantastic. Sweetest lil thing! Still trying to figure out who the heck I am though. She's a much better advocate of rats as awesome pets than my other rat, haha she's so unsocial and bitter. I will absolutely have to get pictures here pretty soon. Kaysha 3/2009 |
| Hi. My name is Di and my 9 year old daughter just adopted two male
rats from Amy. Their names are Silverstream and Twilight -- both names
she got from books. They are sweet, hungry little guys. They are
still a bit shy, but warming up as the week has passed. Thanks to Amy
for all the help. Di 2/2009 |
| Things are going well I think. if it wasn't for my darn cat I'd let them out more, so funny.... I use to be such a cat person, now I think I'm almost more of a rat person LOL. I love my cat and give her plenty of attention, but I just wanna play with the ratties so much. Nate B 2/2009 |

Amy-
Hi, sorry this has taken so long but school has
been crazy. I wanted to let you know that the boys are doing great.
Quillo, Bucky and Spike are all settled in and doing great. Mousse
and Latte love the new cage and their new roomies.
2nd comment from this adopter after I asked to borrow 2 of his males for breeding: Well the only rats that I have are yours. I don't see the point of going to anyone else. They are healthy and huge! Except for Spike...he's kind of racy. It will be nice to see what kind of babies my boys make without actually breeding them. All the AWW! factor without the work. :) Plus I'm glad I can help! 2/2009 |
 Amy- just wanted to let you know that everything has gone GREAT with our new little rat. Our son just loves him. He is such a sweet little guy, very gentle, SO soft and we are so happy with him. Our blue has perked up too with his new cage mate here. Our son has named him Pluto, after his favorite planet (actually not a planet anymore, which our space minded son could tell you all about)! Thanks again for all the help. I am SURE we will be back again for more ratties, it's hard not to get more once you start! I also have some friends I am referring to you from the Springs here. Take care- Cara ~ Amy, You are welcome to post a picture! Here is Grant's favorite picture for you...he calls it "Pluto Doing Math". Thank you again- Cara 2/2009 |
  Hi Amy. I just wanted to update you. They are very sweet! Thunder (the blue) is definitely not as shy anymore, in fact he is the little brat! He is very playful and nips me and runs away and comes back for more. Lightening (the little beige berk) is very sweet and curious. He always wants to come out and play but he is not as rambunctious as Thunder. Thunder actually tries to wrestle and play. I will have to try and take a picture of Lightening's belly, it is exactly the shape of a lightening bolt! We have never had rats but they are just awesome. My husband even loves them! Thank you Amy. We appreciate the sweeties you gave us. You never know, maybe we'll get a third sometime in the near future! Natalie 2/2009 |
   Amy, thanks so much for these three beautiful little boys! They are all healthy, sweet and gorgeous little guys. Each ratty has his own distinct personality and brings us hours of fun and joy. I try to stay off your web site because its so tempting to bring home more of these little bundles of joy! Just know you have a customer for life! Deb T. 1/2009 |
 Hello Amy! We decided to name the rat we adopted from you Mr. Fatty, because he's a snuggly, smushy, ball of cute. =] To be honest, I came to pick up my rat thinking he would be a bit smaller, but when I got there I was surprised when you told me that my little guy might get up to 2lbs. I was going to say no and just leave him, because my other little ratties were so much smaller than him, but he was just so sweet I couldn't go home without him! I just wanted to thank you for such a sweet little rat, and I can finally remember what it's like to have such amazing little furries and I will definitely be coming back to you if I would ever like more pet rats. Thank you very much Amy! I've attached a couple of pictures of all of my little boys together. They're so cute! Michelle B. 1/2009 |
 Finally got around to posting pictures of our fab girls! We got them from Amy at the beginning of October. Kalika's the smaller dark one, busier and feisty--although Twyla puts her in a headlock several times a day to clean behind her ears. Twyla, the agouti, is much heftier (we laughed at Amy's description "a beefy girl," but that's pretty accurate,) and she is more laid back. They are out of their cage several times a day, and have trained us to a routine of a rat treat every time we put them back in. Luna 1/2009 |
 Amy, Thanks for posting your wonderful rat diet, always answering all of my (sometimes silly) rattie questions, sharing all of your wonderful rat wisdom, for the great forum which provides tons of information and sweet indulgence for a rat fanatic, and a HUGE special thanks for my furry family members: Griffin, Sunny, and Harry (and for the late Ichabod Crane "Icky", Mr. Reepicheep "Reepy" and Noah).

guys so you know they are rotten rats (spoiled) and are doing very well! Thank
you again Julie 12/2008 |
Hi Amy, I just wanted to thank you for letting me take home my 2 beautiful boys. They started off nervous but then one day just came out of their shell. They are both so funny Paddington is more thoughtful than Dweasel and plans his moves carefully Dweasel on the other hand just runs and jumps and hopes for the best J The both love dried unsweetened bananas and get those a treats I swear Paddington does back flips when he hears the bag of bananas rustle. I forget how fast they grow 6.5 weeks old and have nearly doubled in size from 5 weeks.Amanda F. 12/2008 |
| Hi Amy, I wanted you to know Pepper (Cama Shot in the Dark) has adjusted well to her new home and is doing great. She and Marshmallow (Cama White Moon) are like two peas in a pod. Their personalities are very similar. They're both extremely curious and friendly. I cannot tell if either one is an Alpha rat. They're always together. It's very humorous to see both of their white and black noses sticking out of the end of their hammock. Here's a funny story for you: Marshmallow likes to perch on my shoulder, root around in my hair and play with my earrings. One afternoon Marshmallow climbed up my shirt onto my shoulder. Not to be left behind, Pepper followed her. There really wasn't room for both, so they wrestled around in my hair squeaking until Marshmallow climbed across me (scratching up my neck in the process of course) to my other shoulder. Once again Pepper followed her and the same battle for space took place until Pepper gave up and climbed off my shoulder. They're always doing amusing things. The other night Kurt fed them cut up apple. He noted that Pepper, who is usually the first to stuff her face when given a treat, didn't seem to like the apple. The next morning, I found a few apple pieces on the floor. I can but assume that Pepper pushed them out of the cage. We're very happy with the rats. Lili 11/2008 |
| Hello everyone, Well yesterday I became the proud mama of three little seal point Siamese boys from Amy at Camarattery. They are Roscoe, Dexter and Dudley, haven't decided which name goes with which face yet though. First of all I am lucky cause Amy is a responsible breeder and these boys are healthy and beautiful. Second because they are so friendly and sweet we have already had a couple of visits with my boys Rufus and Dunkan, and they have gone fantastically! ! They will be living together soon. Rufus has done a little bit of the "I am bigger than you" stance, and he has had to hold each of them down and thoroughly examine them, but he has been extremely gentle with them. Dunkan had a moment where he hid in his house and put his head into a toilet paper roll and just peeked out at me, I so wish I had a picture of that, but a cookie and a few snuggles and kisses fixed that. The new boys are a little bit younger than mine so it is working! It is making me want to build another cage though and I have all kinds of ideas. So today we built a cage add on for the bottom giving them tons more space and everyone is living together. This has been by far the easiest intros for boys that I have ever had. THANKS AMY!!! -- Cindy 11/2008 |
 Hey Amy! I know I haven’t been on the forums or talked with you in a while, but I figured I would give you a little update. I don’t know if I told you yet, but I named the dwarf Mike, and the velveteen Sully. I thought it fit them well! They are as social as ever. Sully likes to wrestle with Mike and I swear he always wins. Another thing I have noticed is that Sully likes to steal all the food and hide it. I guess he doesn’t like to share. (Sometimes he also takes what Mike is eating. It’s quite hilarious at times!) They are funny! Wouldn’t you think they would sleep inside the igloo? They don’t, but they enjoy sleeping on the top. I took a picture of them sleeping on their igloo and I thought it would be fun to share with you. I think the photo shows their true brotherly love! I hope all is well with you! Peter M.10/2008 |
We love Biscuit! She is such a sweetie. She and midnight are getting along very well. Biscuit is a little more shy about coming out of the cage to play. She likes to be near the cage or me so that she has a place to duck into if she gets nervous. I have a hammock in the cage for the rattie girls, and Biscuit has not been a shredder. Though I also have a sock in there that both girls like to chew on. Her favorite foods are brown rice, yogurt with granola in it, and bananas. Jane 9/2008 |
 Amy's babies are the best, wonderful temperament and health. Amy, these boys are just divine! Of course you already knew that but I wanted you to know that they are doing very well. They were a bit standoffish last night, so I just left them alone,and let them come to me. First thing this morn Danny Boy ran over to me,and was ready for love. I put the liners in their cage and they seem to like it. They are also doing great in the play pool.The black boy is such a doll too. He acts a lot like Ollie(like you said)-very playful.They also are eating VERY well (wow). I filled up their bowls again last night and this morn not one crumb left! I really feel honored to have them,and I just wanted to tell you thank you again. Jennifer B. 9/2008 2nd comment from this adopter: Dear Amy,
I am writing you to tell you how grateful I am for you
and your
rattery,and the ethics that you employ .I have adopted 5 rats from you
so far,and they are all just the sweetest.They are happy and
healthy,and get along great.I am so relieved that I can count on good
health and temperament from any rat that I get from you.It is apparent
from the second they get to my house how well they have been
treated,and socialized. I am always impressed by how shiny and healthy
their coats are! They are just beautiful. I also appreciate the way
that
you have put together your website and group,because I have learned so
much about how to take good care of my rats,and whenever I have had a
problem(like my poor Nihm growing old),I have been able to get help and
advice.You bring so very much to the "rat world",and it means so much
to me. I am enclosing pics of my happy rats...thanks!Jennifer B. 1/2009 |
 Amy, I want to Thank You again for all these boys and girls and for your extremely generous gift of Cama Breaking the Rules!! All the babies are doing great! I can tell that you worked a lot with Rules. He is SO friendly and relaxed when being handled! Desiree MWR Rattery 12/2008 |
 I have to tell you that I absolutely adore them. My kids at school (along with my own family) love them as well. The parents have told me that their children talk about them all of the time. I did a "rat" unit when I first brought them in and the kids really got into it. We did it for nearly 3 weeks. And you being a preschool teacher yourself, know that's unusual for the little ones to be interested in something for that long. They tell me they are the mommies and daddies of the Littlest Boys and it's there job to take care of them. And I think the greatest thing that has come out of all of this has been that they've educated their families and their families have seen what amazing creatures they are. It's helped with that bad stereotype that poor ratties get. Thanks again for putting us together with Chico and Felix. They're sweeties! Libby =) 9/2008 |
 Hi Amy! It's been awhile, but I thought I'd send you a cute pic of Trouble and Diamond in their new Speed Racer sports cars! Of course, Diamond is the crazier driver while Trouble is content to sit at the wheel and watch everyone go by! They are just the most adorable, sweetest little girls and I look forward to seeing their little noses peeking through the cage every morning, waiting to get out and say hello. Trouble likes to sit on my lap and watch me work on the computer, while Diamond the Explorer really likes be toted around the house and take in the sights. They enjoy their little baby pool during the day and play in my kids old parking garage toy with their other rattie gal pal, Queenie. They enjoy lots of pasta and veggies, with peas and broccoli the obvious favorites. They are also hopelessly addicted to the tunnel hammock I placed in their cage and look so cute cuddled up together for their naps. I never thought I would be a rat person, but these girls have me hooked and I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to give them a good home. They are truly loved and I hope to get some more great rats from you in the future! Vanessa 2nd comment from this adopter: Hi Amy! Thought I'd let you know that your girls are doing fantastic! I just got the new cage topper today for the 20gallon (long) tank and they are having a blast! They are so sweet and come running and scrambling every time I come in the office and I have such fun talking to them and watching them play as I work. My kids love them a lot and enjoy feeding them carrots and broccoli, although it seems their favorite is actually PEAS! I'll try to send some pics, if you like, and I am considering adopting a couple of dwarfs sometime down the road. Thanks again for my babies! Vanessa 7/2008 |
 OMfreekinGosh!! I just LOVE ALL of them!! THANK YOU!! They are better than I could have ever imagined! Donna GRIM Rattery 7/2008 |
| I just love the rats I got from you! Thank you so much! Terry Sun Shine Rattery 7/2008 |
| Thank You VERY much for the Triple Dilute! She is very Gorgeous! Just thought I would send you a line letting you know I have her and THANK YOU very much, she is just a love! Maggie BEWR Rattery 7/2008 |
 The rats are doing great! Actually, if there was such a thing as a rat that was too friendly, that would explain every one of these guys and gals. They are really more than I could have asked for, and I am very pleased with them. :) I've actually noticed some funny little quirks with these rats - mainly the girls. The two Black Hooded Du's (Calypso and Jitterbug) are nearly inseparable - they are always together, even when they are trying to run in the wheels! That's always amusing. The boys, for the most part, are terribly well behaved. They all seem to adore me and will all line up and seemingly wait their turn to be petted and loved on. :) Shanna .

| Hi Amy,
I wanted to thank you for the great pet rats. Everybody in the
family loves them. The first thing that my kids do when they get home
from school is check on the rats. The kids have named them Earl (black
bareback) and Robert (blue hooded). Both of the our rats are very
friendly. I am glad that I found your website and was able to adopt
such well socialized pets.

Amy, thank you so much for my new pets. They're
doing great. The black one we named Crazy Lu, she's so funny and
playful. The other we named Gaia, she's been pretty calm with us so
far. but i see her and Lu playing all the time. I'm really happy with
them, thanks again. Aja 3/2008 |
| We just wanted to email you to tell you how much we are enjoying our 2
little girls. We named them Sadie and
Sarah. They are so adorable, lovable and so very funny. Their distinct
personalities are starting to show. Sarah is
always taking food away from Sadie. Sadie likes to lick where Sarah likes
to nibble...and thank you so very much for breeding such
wonderful pets! Sue & Hope 2/08 |
Thanks so much for all your time helping us adopt our two wonderful rats. They are so much fun and easy to care for.
Regards, 2/2008 |
 Hi Amy, The boys, Aki and Kenro, are doing great. They are the sweetest boys, always wanting to be with mom and they love to give rattie kisses, brux, and cuddle with anyone. They are so sociable and loving, its wonderful. (Kenro is on my shoulder as we speak.) Here are a few pics with them in it. Love, Monika R. 1/2008 (new comment) You got me so hooked on
having ratties and the kiddos from you are totally wonderful boys and
girls. Its so hard not to want and get more whenever I see the pics of
your adoptables. You do an awesome job raising them. I hope that when I
finally get to become a breeder I can be half as good as you.

 Amy is the best rat expert I know - not just because she knows a lot about them, but because she truly loves them. She will tell you herself that she's not in it for the money, and it's true. Her ratties are bred with love for good health and temperament - and I have 5 wonderful boys that I kiss everyday who show it. Thanks for everything you do, Amy! Sara G. 1/2008 |
| I admire your work and dedication. Your web site shows all that work and effort. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Ivette V. |
| I just love the two boys I got from you. Deena 12/2007 |
Thanks you so much for the wonderful surprise, I recently got a
Burmese Himalayan Self from Amy and was so happy I did. She breeds the
best rats ever. Thanks Amy so much. Logan 12/2007 |
| THANK YOU FOR MY THREE SWEET BABIES!!! I just LOVE Aloysius, Diogenes and Smithback. Wonderful site, and lots of cute babies!! Thanks, and MANY Thanks for being in Colorado!! Jyoti T. 11/2007 |
| Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my little babies
Ducky and Mary Jane. Ducky, the little platinum bareback, is no longer
bareback! She now has spots down her back, and they are very adorable.
They are so wonderful, and have the silliest happiest personalities. I
couldn't have asked for greater companions! Thanks! -Sarah 8/2007 |
 Thanks Amy for my wonderful babies. Not only good looking but real sweethearts with great health. And I love your site and how often you up date to let us all know whats going on. Posting not only your yearly goals but individual litter breeding goals is very educational. Thanks for making us feel apart of Camarattery! Karen of the future H2R Rattery 8/2007 |
| Thank you so much for the best friends I have ever had. Your rats are amazing! Terren 7/2007 |
| Amy, We love the three rats we adopted just before
Christmas. Your rats are the best! They have very sweet temperaments
and have made an excellent addition to our family. We look forward to
having them for several years to come. I also love your website which I
check often. Thanks! Marilee 1/2007 |
Hey Amy, It's great to see you back in action. Your website looks great, by the way. 
Just wanted to let you know that the girls we got from you are doing
great. We have April and Daisy still and two others who we named
Guiness, and Bailey. They're the best!...I must say, you breed beautiful rats. I'm playing with our girls right
now and they're great. Every time I see your website I'm newly amazed at
how gorgeous they are. I brag about your rattery to anyone who cares to
listen. Thanks for being a part of something that brings people so much
joy.Elisa 12/2006 |
 Love your site Amy, you have sure come a long way. You have gain my trust through and through! Keep up the wonderful pictures and beautiful Babies! Jess RRRA Rattery 10/2006 |
| I just wanted to brag about how darn happy our girls are!! They are SO happy! I am not sure I have ever seen such a happy bunch! We decided to take Amy's advice with our most recent adoption, and go for three girls, rather than two. Our first set were sisters, and they got along really well. But when one passed away we attempted to cheer our (almost) 2 year old rattie up with a baby. The baby only stayed in the cage for about a month, and then we decided we couldn't take the constant bickering between our old girl and our baby... so we split them up for a while. That only lasted a few months, because then our old girl passed away too. We were heartbroken and debated about what to do, as we didn't want another fight on our hands, and weren't totally sure who didn't want to live with whom... But after talking to Amy, she suggested getting TWO new rats and then there would be three and no one would be singled out. I didn't think I wanted three... because that just seemed like MORE of the same worry. But when we went to get our new baby, I asked Amy if we could take a look at one of her adoptions, and we were so taken with a spunky little dwarf girl who immediately put off the air of an Alpha. Sure enough, Jesse, our little dwarf 6 month old has been the backbone of our mini colony, and we have never seen rats so content and cheerful! Our other 6 month old bulked up and has a nice fat round belly and a gleam in her eye (and the silliest grin on her face all the time) and our other two have fallen in with my son in a BIG way. What a fun success story. I just wanted to encourage people who have only had two to consider the HUGE benefit of having three--only because the difference has been so significant. ... not that anyone here probably NEEDS encouragement to get more rats... LOL Just thought I would share! Cheryl 9/2006 |
| Amy, Your rats are the best! I would recommend them to everyone! I just love all of my rats from you! Susie 6/2005 |
Last week we picked up Can't Buy Me Love. What a beautiful and sweet rat! We enjoyed our visit to the rattery to see where Love grew up! Despite having a bunch of rats, it was a clean and smell-free place; Amy has nothing to hide! The rats all appeared healthy and happy and well cared for! We will be back!
