"I was in the market for two dumbo female rats, Rex was my preference but smooth coat would have been ok too. I filled out applications with three local (PA area) breeders, and seemed to have no real issues getting a rat from any of these breeders. One breeder in particular stood out to me and that was the wonderful lady at Sweet Whispers Rattery.
First let me start out by saying that just about every local breeder was recommending this rattery for quality pets. One breeder I filed an application with said that she didn't currently have any babies available, but knew of a rattery that did. Fortunately, I already had an application in with her, so the ball was already rolling!!!
I contacted Ashten and arranged to pick up my two little girls. Mind you, I am a rat mommy virgin! These two girls would be my first.... and like any virgin, or first time mother for that matter, I was a bit clueless. Mind you, I had done my research, but needed some coaching to get me right on track.
Ashten was there every step of the way! I remember one moment where she TOTALLY put the love of her ratties over the value of the sale..... and that is not a quality you often find in a breeder! This is when I KNEW I had made the right decision, to get my ratlings from Sweet Whispers Rattery!!
I took the 2.5 hr drive (gotta love explaining to co-workers that your taking a vacation day to pick up two rats) to get my girls (AKA Butters and Belle). I got my girls, filled out the necessary adoption papers and I was on my way.
Another thing that was awesome (for me) was that her little girl had no problems handling the ratties. Her daughter is about the same age as my son, and ultimately these girls were to be his pets under my supervision. In actuality, they are still his pets, but they have captured my heart... no really, a rat can capture your heart.
They are now a little older (and wiser) and frequent my king size bed for scritching and kisses and the ever so popular rat toss game.... all rat specific vocabulary I had to get acquainted with. Mind you, I have kissed my fair share of rats, but not the four leg variety ;)
I send pictures to Ashten routinely and she is always excited to see how big they are getting.
I want to thank Ashten for her kindness, patience, and time! Without it, I'm sure I wouldn't be the rat momma I am today!!
I will be getting my next 1 (maybe 2) girls in the coming months, but only from one breeder.... my friends at Sweet Whispers Rattery!!!"

"We ended up naming the girls Emmy & Maggie and they're doing great and are very playful & affectionate. They love giving kisses! Everyone that meets them ends up falling in love with them & thinks that they're really cool pets (even if they initially were put-off by the idea of having rats as pets).
Thanks for raising such sweethearts."

"They are adorable, sweet guys, they obviously were treated well and handled regularly by you as their breeder. They are very well socialized, and we are enjoying getting to know them. Thanks!"
- Kelly
"They have been the most personable babies The boys are so cute they say good morning to me every day. All through the day they are always looking for attention. The girls make it almost impossible to clean their cage because they want to see EVERYTHING I am doing and playtime is so much fun. The girls are little adventures. They have made it their mission to get off my bed and explore makes it a challenge to keep up. The boys want to just explore my pillows."

"Heya! We got the girls home safely. We are really impressed with them. They're pretty advanced, super friendly and already playing with our hands and such. They're more developed personality wise then my girls when we got them at 3months old. They're so awesome!"

"Wow are those babies cute... and healthy, shiny, active, curious and wonderful! Elizabeth and Anna are so happy to have them. The whole family is in love! Introductions went well and I think Little Chestnut is happy to have some buddies around again. Thank you for answering all of my questions, and for raising quality ratties. I hope to keep in touch so you can see how they are growing. Thanks again."
