Waiting List & Reservations
If you are
interested in any of the rat(s) or
litter(s) we have posted and would like to be put on the waiting list
you need to send us an email requesting an adoption application. Once
we receive your email we will send you the application that you must
fill out completely and email it back to us. If you are approved you
will be put on the waiting list and we will notify you. If we find
problems in the application and/or you are denied we will notify
you. We reserve the right to accept or deny any applicant for any
reason.
The waiting list is on a first-come,
first-served basis. Many times we start our waiting list for a specific
litter months in advance so the sooner you get your application in, the
better your chances are of getting the rat(s) you want.
We cannot guarantee the size of any of our
litters. For instance, sometimes a doe will only produce four babies
while we might have eight people on our waiting list for that litter.
If this happens, those left without babies will be put first on the
waiting list for the next litter. We appologize if this happens, but we
cannot control mother nature.
Once the babies are twenty-one (21) days* of age
we will contact everyone on the waiting list and ask you to send us
your top three (3) choices and state whether you want one or more
babies. At this time you have three (3) days to send us your choices.
If we do not
hear from you within three (3) days we will move on down the list to
the next person. So keep an eye on dates and emails!
Starting from
first to last on the list, people will be
able to pick from the babies that are available. At this time you are
required to send in a non-refundable deposit for each of the babies you
are reserving. The deposit for each baby is $7 and is put towards the
remaining adoption fee. You will have five (5) business days in which
to send your deposit(s). We accept money orders and Paypal.
*In some cases, such as with
litters containing
Siamese or Double Rex rats, the reservation date will be pushed back so
that we can let them further develop before making any final decisions
about color and markings.
Adoption Fees
All of our pet
rats are priced at $20 for one pup and $15 for each additional pup.
Adoptions of more than three pups are taken into consideration on a
case-by-case basis, and priced accordingly. At time of reservation you
are required to send in a non-refundable deposit of $7 per rat, which
will be rolled into the final adoption fee. The remaining adoption fee
is due at pickup if you have not sent it in beforehand.
Breeding quality rats are available only to breeders we know and
trust, those we have already done business with. We have gone to
great lengths to obtain quality rats from quality breeders and do not
want these lines to fall into the wrong hands.
