Understanding Pricing Pricing is based off of the amount of work put into each variety (perfecting temperament, health, etc), the difficulty in breeding them (Dwarf to dwarf can take longer to impregnate and a dwarf doe may only produce a few babies), and the ratio at which each variety appears in a single litter (a marble rat bred to a standard marked rat may only produce a couple marble babies, for example). Prices are non negotiable. |
RESERVATIONS & DEPOSITS
Reservations are done in first come, first serve fashion when babies are at least 6 weeks old. Babies from several litters are typically grouped together for "Adoption Days" which are done when the youngest litter is of age (assuming they are within a few weeks of each other. Litters that are significantly spaced out will go separately). We do NOT do waitlists as too much time is spent hunting people down and waiting for responses. You must be online for our adoption days to have the best chance at getting babies.
Occasionally babies will be pre-paired. This typically is done to avoid anyone getting stuck with 2 identical rats, to prevent people from "hoarding" the less common varieties, and for lowering the total price (pairing dwarf with standard for instance). If pairs have been made, they are not negotiable and must go as is.
Once you have made your selection (same sex pairs ONLY), a 50% nonrefundable deposit is due within 12 hours of selection or they will be placed as available once more. Deposits must be paid via PayPal Friends and Family as this item is NONREFUNDABLE. In the event you decide not to get rats, this deposit goes towards their care until they find a new home. The only way a deposit is refundable is if the rats you reserved become unavailable (illness, temperament re-evaluation, etc). Deposits may be transferred to a different pair if it is available during the same adoption event. Deposits my not be transferred to a future litter unless original reserved rats become unavailable and buyer wishes to transfer instead of receiving a refund.

PICKUP & FINAL PAYMENT
We do not deliver. You are responsible for picking up your new rats from Newport New Hampshire. We do not allow adopters to come to the rattery for our safety and our animals safety. To best prevent spread of illness, we are a CLOSED Rattery. Pick Ups are done in Newport NH. We will discuss location and time when you reserve your rats.
Final payment is required via PayPal Friends & Family OR cash. Final payments (50%) are refundable for up to one week after pickup date for any reason. After the first week, we will exchange rats for a future pair if the current pair are displaying any undesired behaviors. This offer extends up to a month after pickup. After this time, we will take back rats but will not offer reimbursement in the form of refund or exchange as this is considered ample time for negative behaviors to show.
You are also expected to sign our contract in person at time of pickup. You should read and familiarize yourself with the contract prior to pick up. View Contract HERE.
