Update: June 5th, 2008- Sadly, RRR had it's own loss today. Dobbie of RRR, the father to our two litters, was euthanaized this evening. He'd been aging, having turned 2 in April. Unfortunately, he had a misfortunate accident that needed surgery, specifically his penis was stuck out and wouldn't go back in. Everything we tried was unsuccessful and it was decided that surgery would be too stressful and risky. It was more humane to let him go peacefully. He was given a sub-q injection and we brought him home, where he died quietly in my arms. How I'll miss you Dobbie. I knew I'd loose you eventually, but I wanted more time..
May 27th, 2008- I would like to pass my condolences on to Arlene and Frank of Stafford, VA. Sadly, Rufio, whom they adopted from us in 2006, died this past Friday evening. They were one of the first families to adopt a rescue rat from RRR. Rufio, rescued April 27th, 2006 lived out his long days with the best home we could ever hope for. He deserved it. May your hearts heal soon. You gave Rufio the best..

Greeting from us at Rodere Rattery. Rodere Rattery is a dream that is just recently coming true. After over a decade of owning rats as pets, I have decided that I would like to begin a responsible breeding program. With that endeavor, I hope to give even a little bit back to the animals whom I can thank for years of loving companionship and trust. In addition, I would like to breed wonderful 'rittens' that will be great companions to their adopters and cagemates. Rodere Rattery is located near Ashland, Kentucky.
We will be focusing on dumbo rats with wonderful health, temperament, and type. It is our hope to work with several unusual colors and help better establish some of the unrecognized colors here in the United States. Our main concern, however, will always be the health and temperament of the rats that are bred here at Rodere Rattery.
If you
are interested in adopting a rat or rats from Rodere Rattery, please look over our 'Adopting' page and fill out our adoption application. We may on occassion have rescue rats and retired adults available. We will do our upmost to ensure that each and every rat is treated like a member of the family, even if they are not a permanent resident.
