The Kept Rat Rattery

A Central Florida Rattery specializing in domesticated pet fancy rats.

Waitlist has been contacted and all other rats from two dwarf litters have been claimed until further notice. I do have these two boys available, however. One Tonkinese boy (he will develop a pointe on his nose as he grows) and this dark mink boy. These pics are older and I will get new ones in a few days. :)

People ask me if I transport rats and this is the company that I use. I am located in Deltona, Florida so this schedule will help adopters see when there is a good time to adopt and transport based on delivery location :)

🌼 LATE 2026 TRAVEL SCHEDULE!

Check out Mel’s schedule for the end of 2026! Get your requests in early to ensure that a stop is created for you. Looking forward to meeting with many new—and previous—participants! ⭐️

I’m going to try this again because I messed up on the last post. 🤣

Meet Fred.

I hear Fred (a handsome Siamese werewolf) from Sunny Savannah is a good boy - which is a good thing because he’s taking a road trip from Georgia to Florida to live with me 🙂 I also am bringing home a few more babies - werewolves and carriers and can’t wait to name them and share them with my adopters 🙂

Thank you, Jacki, for trusting me with this line and these babies. I have a lot of great things planned for them! Can’t wait to see them in just a few days!

Expect some adorable werewolf pics in the next week and following weeks as some babies grow. ❤️

I have never had this in the hundreds of rats I’ve produced .. and in the dozens of rats produced by either parent. Thus we have - spontaneous small eye. It’s a genetic mutation and in this case, likely de novo.

Luckily this is purely aesthetic and he will live a relatively normal life (although may have restricted sight in that eye, meaning care should be brought to his living space). If he has a tall cage, he will need many things to break falls like baskets and ropes and all sorts of things so he never falls too far, as he might have a slightly worse depth perception than other rats (and already rats don’t have the best eyesight as it is!)

Although I do work with other breeders and he is the cutest little tonk boy, he is pet only due to this mutation. Although benign in nature, it’s not anything you ever want to breed for (despite how cute he really is!)

He will be available for adoption at a slightly discounted rate soon, to someone willing to provide some more care to his personal safety needs due to restricted sight in his one eye.

Such cute and sweet Siamese and Tonkinese dwarf babies. 🥹❤️

Hopefully this will post? Instagram is not cross posting like it used to.

My Rex dwarf Tonkinese and Siamese litter are looking super cute! Already the Siamese are showing how dark they are going to be. Their dad is Smash, who always produces super dark Siamese so I expect nothing but pure beauty from this litter! I sure wish one of the Tonks was a girl though - just my luck as they’re both boys and I already have a super handsome tonk boy.
