Pricing
Rat Pricing
All of my rats are sold in same-sex groups of 2 or more.
​
All rats are $40 each.
That is $80 per pair.
My prices are used to help cover rat expenses, adoption packets,
and yearly testing which is very expensive!
​
I try to keep my prices fair. They are generally in line with other breeders that I know.
I am not out to make a profit (and really don't, rats are expensive to keep! Can you imagine how much food I go through? lol).
Breeding is a very expensive and time-intensive hobby. The amount of time I devote to not only care and cleaning of animals but to my website, facebook, pictures, and talking with adopters/answering questions is pretty much all of my time. I have no life outside of rats lol I do this for the passion of doing it, not to become rich. If I can make enough to cover just the food I would be happy, which generally is not the case at all!
​
I also take into account that by far most of my adopters come from about an hour+ drive to get to me. So I do acknowledge that and keep my prices slightly lower to account for that!
Payment Policy
I now only accept cash at time of pickup. Exact price only, as I will not have change to give.

Travel Fees
I charge a flat-rate fee of $25 for travel within an hour of me. (When I am able to travel which is not often)
This is often lower than the business mileage fees that are suggested for travel. (Remember I have to make a round trip)
This fee must be paid upfront and is non-refundable.
