Want a rat to adopt?

When someone uninitiated in the world of rat breeding and who wants a rat to adopt asks me why I breed rats? I simply reply that it is because I want the living conditions of the pet rat to improve. To move from the status of vermin or even laboratory rat, to that of luxury rat to the raccoons from my rattery, it really motivates me. When an animal is considered endearing, intelligent, clean and of remarkable beauty, it has all the genetic background necessary to have nothing to envy to purebred cats or dogs.

When we know that the conscientious rat breeder invests all the time so that all these rats to adopt find a loving home, we understand that adoption costs are apply to these rats which have received treatments that stimulate the pups in order to promote their integration as much as possible within a family or a young couple or a hardened single woman.

Domestic rat – Where to adopt it?

First of all, you have to ask yourself how long you are willing to wait to get the rat of your dreams from a rat breeding.

If you are adopting from a ratery, you must register on a waiting list following your approved application as a future adopter by the ratery. The reproduction of the domestic rat can be done from seriously or not. It is clear that if you adopt a rat from an ethical ratter, the adoption process takes longer than obtaining a rat to adopt in a pet store or at an individual who only breeds rats without a specific objective, except for pleasure or for a pecuniary reason. In the latter case, I would tend to tell you that if you are in a hurry and cannot resist the irrepressible urge to immediately adopt new raccoons, I suggest that you go to a pet store because the individual who gives birth more than a few litters, replaces the pleasure of seeing cute little baby rats born for that of the greed. This type of individual does nothing but exploit rats as commodities so in this case, you might as well go to a company that is declared.

However, if you see no problem in waiting a few weeks and on the contrary you consider this wait as an opportunity to appreciate more the arrival of your new companions, because I specify that in a serious rattery you will always adopt at least two raccoons because the rat is a gregarious animal, so you can adopt a domestic rat in a rattery.

Adopting from a rattery

By adopting from a serious rattery, you are assured that the raccoons you adopt are sound in their heads, that they have good health and that they meet certain criteria selection in terms of aesthetics, because the rat breeder is attentive to this last point. A conscientious rat breeder invests a lot of time in the socialization of his rat pups, and in the case of the Chimera ratter (because I always prefer to speak for myself and not for others since I am not in the minds and consciences of others rat breeders), the rats whose function is reproduction, are not automatic breeders but above all pets that I adore, and with whom I have developed a relationship of deep affection as well than mutual trust. A relationship of trust means for me that the rat has felt that I am a person he can count on to take care of him and ensure his well-being. That’s why I make it a point of honor to try to make the best decisions for my rats who are above all my babies. Their trust in me touches me and it is essential for me not to hurt them by making errors of judgement. Therefore, I educate myself every day in order to learn about rat breeding with the aim of my knowledge being at the top to accompany my rats in their obstacle course, because rats are at the base of fragile beings and I is trying to strengthen that aspect of their genetics in the first place so that he has everything in hand to have the best possible health.

Here is an aspect that interests me enormously in the development of baby rats of the Chimera rattery and which is treated in this article entitled

Models of the development of fear and anxiety in rodents: from neurobiology to pharmacology:

Taken together, 3 weeks of life may represent the closing of a developmental window where extinction is most effective in rodents. It is difficult to identify the human correlate of an equivalent age group, however, an influential study has suggested that the past 7 years is when children can acquire contextual/spatial memories reliably and can correlate with 3 weeks of age in rodents in terms of cognitive abilities. (Overmanet al.,1996). In any case, such a period of resilience in early life may explain how some anxiety can disappear as children develop.
