Lastly I do aim to breed for select few varieties. Learning to recognise well built rats is something that takes time and sadly we do not a have a lot of rat shows in the Netherlands, but whenever we do I usually enter a fair few of my rats to receive critique. A badly built animal or an animal with extreme features can get severe health problems and I want to avoid this at all cost. I put in extra effort to receive updates about pet homed animals so I get a complete view of my lines.Ī part of breeding for good health is breeding for type and build. For this reason I do my best to keep good records of all my breeding stock -and- the litters I have bred. Rats as a species are sadly short-lived and aren’t the healthiest of animals, so I do my best to improve and maintain good health. Of course they also must be well tempered towards each other, I do not breed with rats which do not get along with other rats.īesides that my most important goal is to improve health and longevity. My main goal in breeding is breeding well tempered rats, they need to be tame and fun to keep as pets -both for the owner and the rats themselves-! Personally I love rats which are very human-oriented and love attention and cuddles, with a bit of a cheeky side to them. In my opinion it is very important to have a clear goal in mind when breeding, as your aim is to improve rather than just multiply. My hobbies are gaming, drawing, and most of all animals! About the rattery Breeding goals Nowadays I am back in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, living close to the town called Terneuzen with my various pets. I was born and raised in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the most south-west region of the Netherland (we often call ourselves back-up Belgians!)ĭuring my studies I lived in Breda and later Venlo, where I graduated as certified Animal Tech and in the meantime also started my rattery and later my business (a webshop in homemade rodent food). ![]() My name is Elian and I am a 27-year-old rat lover from the Netherlands. ![]() Instead I have created this page with the basics about my rattery, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me through Facebook or by emailing me at About me I used to run an English version of the website, but it was perpetually outdated so not really useful to non-Dutch visitors. Hello and welcome to my rattery website! As you have noticed my entire rattery website is in Dutch, as I am a Dutch breeder and most of my pet homes are Dutch.
