Breeding Ethics

These rats are my pets and I love them. I want their offspring to make great pets for you. That's why I am aiming first and foremost to produce healthy and long-lived rats with a great temperament. I feel I am ultimately responsible for the welfare of all the rats I breed, so you will be asked questions about how you will care for them, and there will always be a place here for them if you can no longer keep them. I feel that rats thrive best with companions of the same age, so my rats will be homed in same-sex pairs or groups of three, with a no-breeding contract.

Although I understand the motivation for culling amongst some breeders I can't personally agree with the rationale. Those kittens which are not needed for breeding will either be kept here as pets or homed on a no-breeding contract.
