(RRLM Minute x FLY Schmora)
Retired Residents
My
beautiful and intelligent residents who are retired for any reason are
usually found retirement homes - that is, homes where they will be
allowed to be rats and to enjoy themselves as ratties should. I take a
considerable amount of time matching retiree to home, and I pride
myself on making a match that fits. If no match is found, they stay
with me. Sometimes I'm far too attached to a rat to rehome them ever,
and they stay with me anyway. I just figure -- why not let them enjoy
themselves with some kid who will adore them? All of my retirees are
homed on a pet only contact and at times will be altered before being
sent to their new homes. I retain first right of refusal should the new
home ever need to rehome them - I don't want to see my girls/boys get
lost out there.

became one of the cuddliest girls I've ever met. As she's aged, she's
settled down considerably, and now loves to beg for just about anything
edible. She is now retired and lives with a little girl in the Wright family! |
Pinch
is far and away my favorite. She reminds me a lot of my Goober, a
standard black doe I had a few years ago. The absolute best mama! She is now retired, living with Pint with a little girl from the Wright family! |

Susie's outook on life is very, very optimistic. EVERYONE is her friend and she's happy to prove that to you, if you let her. She also has to be the first one out of the cage. Rainbow bridge, Aug. 2010 |
Scrunci's main motivation in everything she does is food. If food isn't involved, she probably isn't interested. But she's still very sweet - and very beautiful! ** Rainbow Bridge, March 13th, 2010 ** |

Saffron plays a little too hard for her own good, and often irritates her cagemates. Overall, though; I think they understand that it's just... her. Adopted by the Turner family. |

I love this rat. Words simply can't express how much. He's my dream-boat. Originally slated to go back to Janine (as he's from her breeding anyway), I couldn't do it. I fell in love, and I told her I'd fight her for him. =) (Now retired & living the good life here at Ratterfly!) Rainbow Bridge 3/25/11 |

I'm
sure you're asking "Why the name?" but if you ever met this rat, you'd

Waldo is my houdini rat, and can get out of virtually anything. It's amazing. For a brief period of time, he lived with my entire girl colony - because he managed to fit in the door and then conveniently HIDE every time I was in there hunting for him. (No worries.. he is not a daddy because of it..) Over 1 year! Sterile. |
