July 2026 Rat Pairings Below are our planned pairings for July 2026. 🐀 Gestation: Approximately 21–23 days . 🏡 Adoption age: Babies are typically ready to leave for their new homes at 8 weeks of age , depending on their development and health. ⚠️ Please note: Not every pairing will result in a pregnancy. Not every baby born will be available for adoption, as some may be retained for our breeding program. Availability will be updated as litters arrive and babies grow. Thank you for your patience while we wait for these exciting litters!

Which Mouse Cage?
Mouse Cage Requirements
FLOOR SPACE SIZE: Minimal: 40cm x 30cm = 1,200 Ideal for Males: 60cm x 40cm = 2,400 Ideal for Females: 80cm x 50cm = 4,000 BAR SPACING: Recommended: 6mm HOUSING: Females in groups 3-4 or more. Males must be housed solo.
Main Cages
Suitable floor space, to allow for your mice to express their natural behaviours. No wire flooring or platforms, they can lead to a bacterial infection called bumblefoot. Adequate depth of base for digging as mice are fossorial animals. Wheel that isn’t too small; ideally 20cm to prevent damage to their spine.
Cages We Recommend
Temporary Cages
Purpose of a temporary cage: Quarantine (it’s always a good idea to quarantine any new rats for at least 2-4 weeks before adding to the main cage). Hospital (if your rat needs close monitoring or have an injury or is recovering from surgery). Secondary cage (when cleaning the main cage out or travelling somewhere - somewhere to put them). Starter cage (sometimes acceptable if done right for young rats but only for short-term purposes and should be upgraded asap). Breeding purposes.

Recommended Food
Foods We Recommend
Mice and rats benefit from consuming whole pellets, which are specifically designed to provide a complete and balanced diet, ensuring they receive all the necessary nutrients. This approach helps prevent selective eating, where rats might only choose the tastiest parts of a mixed food, potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies. Whole pellets also stimulate natural foraging and eating behaviours, enriching their experience. They should have access to their whole pellet food twenty-four seven.

Do Not Use As Main Food
Seed mixes are not ideal for mice because they are often unbalanced and may lead to dietary imbalances and health problems. Mice and rats will selectively pick their favourite seeds (like sunflower seeds), leading to a lack of essential nutrients from other components of the mix. This can result in deficiencies and potentially health issues, in particular when mice have too much fat in their diet it’ll cause greasy coats.
Recommended Bedding
Recommended Substrates: Kiln Dried Pine Shavings (Most Popular) Aspen Hemp Bioactive (Research Thoroughly) Avoid: Scented Beddings Paper Based Bedding (Good For Nesting) Anything That Seems Too Dusty For Rat Litter Box: Breeder Choice Recycled Kitty Litter
