Early Spring Cleaning

2/29/2020

Today I moved our DCN from the bedroom into the same area as our TCNs and turned it into a TCN. I loved having the new dwarf in our bedroom but it was too dark and those little pipsqueaks move FAST! I am so thankful for the most wonderful husband and kids that are supportive of Our Crazy Rat Adventure. Enjoying my wall of ratties!

**** As I was re-arranging things I decided to go through all the tubs. Then came the 1st aid tub. <insert a huge sigh> Looks like I need to go shopping soon as most all of my meds need to be replaced because they have long since expired. (Mixed fillings throwing away brand new bottles but the great news is I didn't need them!) I really should have been paying closer attention and hope that this post prompts someone to go through their 1st aid BEFORE you need it!

I have been busy with the ratties and keep forgetting to blog. Facebook is my main update location so make sure to follow the page on fb for the latest news in Our Crazy Rat Adventure.
A few highlights from the past few months:

We are looking forward to the next show hosted by RatsPacNW
- Ratsock 2020 - The show will be on April 4th, 2020 (Not only is it the Year of the Rat but the show is going to be on World Rat Day! April 4th, 2020. This is the first time I am coordinating a show. Not 100% sure if we will bring any to the show since I will have a lot of work to do at the show but I may have a friend help me show the ratties.
We have had a few litters
- 2019 Fall It's a Mystery Litter - this litter was bringing in a new mama from J & J ' s Willamette Valley Rattery - JWVR Little Debbie and crossing her with our most amazing OCRA Cyberman with hopes of pearl, We got TWO! OCRA Roswell a Dumbo Pearl and OCRA Atlantis a Dumbo Dark Phase Pearl. We also kept another sweet girl from the litter lil OCRA Nessie who is a beautiful Dumbo Agouti.
- 2019 Fall Happy Thanksgiving Litter - this litter was crossing the harley from tBBR and ROUS into our lines with OCRA Radar and our sweet mama OCRA Equinox. This litter gave us several Burmese all carrying Harley and many Rex. OCRA Gourdy in photo with this post is just one of the lovelies that was produced. We ended up keeping OCRA Giblet a beautiful Dumbo Burmese boy and OCRA Yammy a Dumbo Rex Burmese.
- 2020 Winter Teddy Bear's Picnic Litter - This litter is a continuation of the ROUS/tBBR Harvels with OCRA Horton and OCRA Olivia. I cannot wait to see them mature. Today they are about 10 days old.
We also have GREAT news about one of our surprise dwarf! OCRA Taffy from our Too Sweet Litter had 5 little dwarf pipsqueaks up in Seattle with The Breakfast Bunch Rattery - tBBR. We will be bringing 2 of them back to the mischief once they are ready. We originally wanted to have a grandson down the road but plans changed when last week we were given the opportunity to work with dwarf from Little Gems Rattery - LGR. At the moment I have ten 3 week old babies, and their parents in our quarantine DCN. I am IN LOVE!
- I will be keeping 3 from the litter
  - LGR Marsanne a Dumbo Harley Burmese Variberk with a headspot
  - LGR Pinotage a Dumbo Black American Irish
  - LGR Petite Sirah a Dumbo Double Velveteen (possible Harley)
- Plus keeping both Dads originally from Pride Rock Rattery - PRR in Ohio, I tracked back to Ace Rattery - Ohio and a Michigan Rattery (unknown from 6 years ago)
  - PRR Riesling a Dumbo Velveteen Burmese American Irish
  - PRR Pinot Noir a Dumbo Velveteen Black American Irish
- Very excited to work with the dwarf!

Well, I better get back to cleaning the cages! Remember to follow Our Crazy Rat Adventure on Facebook for current updates!
