Future Planned Litters
Our litters all have certain goals (such as markings, temperaments, health and outcrosses), and therefore we plan our litters about six months ahead of time. Girls are only paired a maximum of two times between the ages of 6 - 12 months, and boys need to be over the age of 18 months (but not too old that they can't get the deed done!
It's important to remember that we are breeding goal orientated (ie quality over quantity). We aren't trying to push out as many rats as we can for pets as we have other goals first! Pets are just a bi-product as we cannot keep them all.
Keeping that in mind, please note that pairings sometimes fail, get delayed, and plans end up changing. Please don't plan to get certain litters from us (as we may cut lines or choose not to breed due to health problems that may have popped up). You can, however, keep an eye on our Facebook page to see if those pairings do go ahead and whether mum successfully gives birth.
We Are Restarting Our Lines!
You may have noticed that we have been taking a short break to think about the future of us breeding, while dealing with our own health issues. A large number of our lines ended up being cut (all but one actually!), so we are waiting for a proper restart with brand-new, well established genetics to have the best of the best rats. We have decided to lessen the amount of litters and lines we are working on while recovering physically and studying veterinary nursing as well. We always recommend signing up to our waitlist early to be in line for when our babies are ready to adopt!
Current Plans
(As of June 2025)
Whiskey Tails Willow
Black Berkshire (Carrier)
Approx DOB:
July 2025
Willow is the opposite of her sister - A lot more calm and shy. Bruce is an older boy recently adopted from an unknown breeding history - But he is over 2 with no health issues and the best personality. This will be brand new genes into our rattery from both sides.
Expected Outcome:
Without knowing their recessives, we could get hoods, berkshires and selves from this litter. There may be some carriers in this litter, but we are really hoping for just happy and healthy rats
A Rat's Tail Bruce
Agouti Berkshire
Whiskey Tails Jinx
Black Berkshire (Carrier)
Approx DOB:
September 2025
Jinx really lives up to her name and is an absolute personality. Tigger is also an amazing personality - So I can expect mischief and mayhem from this litter hehe.
Expected Outcome:
All black based hoods, berkshires and selfs. There may be some carriers in this litter, but we are really hoping for just happy and healthy rats
A Rat's Tail Tigger
Mink Berkshire
Whiskey Tails Willow
Black Berkshire (Carrier)
Approx DOB:
November 2025
This will be Willow's second litter to help create new lines with different genes. Benny is the best boy (Already a fan favourite at my clinic!)
Expected Outcome:
A fluffy based litter - Completely different to my old fluff lines that all had health issues. They will be all black based selfs and berkshires, with 50% carrier, and 50% fluffy.
