Adrian
is roughly midway between Jackson and Toledo, OH. I do not ship rats,
but I'm usually willing to drive to meet or deliver up to several hours away
for a gas fee. I do travel frequently around S MI, NW OH and sometimes
other areas, so I may be heading in your direction anyway. ABOUT DRAGONFLY RATTERY: I've
had rats about eleven years now. My first was a champagne hooded named
Robbie, who made a permanant impression on me by being more like a dog than
a hamster. It wasn't long after that I had my first litter, semi-accidentally.
For the next several years I bred the occasional litter, strictly limited
to the number of friends I could pawn babies off on! My goals in
breeding weren't especially lofty and my breeding animals weren't particularly
worth breeding, as much as I liked to think otherwise. Finally I decided
to stop breeding until I had the time and resources to do it "right." Starting
in the Summer of this year, I began looking for breeding stock for my "new"
rattery. I've gotten some wonderful rats from a few quality breeders.
I never want to be a large rattery, just want to raise a few quality
rats and work towards my goals in breeding. Temperament and health
are my first priorities, and I don't intend to make any compromises as far
as those two traits go. Secondarily, I hope to produce some show quality
rats, as well as some of my favorite colors and varieties. Currently,
I'm planning on working with minks, blues, Russian blues, and their variations
and dilutes, such as platinums, silvers, blue agoutis, pearls, etc., in standard,
dumbo, and various markings. Eventually I'd like to add chocolates
as well. Finally, I want to say that all of my rats
are pets first and foremost. They're a part of my family. It's
important to me that they're treated right and live long, happy lives. I
breed them knowing that I'll be responsible for the lives that result. I
do not sell rats as feeders, and I do not kill unwanted animals, because that
would be a breach of my repsonsibility to them. To the best of my
ability, I place them only in loving lifetime homes. DRAGON RESCUE: |
