Closed Rattery
Like most ratteries I am a Closed Rattery, this means that I do not allow outside individuals into my home. This is done for a couple of different reasons, primarily to ensure the safety of my rats and integrity of my breeding lines. The amount of pathogens that one can bring into a home, that illy affect rats, are astronomical. [Mites/lice, allergens, illnesses, ect].
Another reason is that, although I'd love to trust everyone, the world we live in as a whole is not always honest. I have heard many a horror story from Open [now Closed] Ratteries of possessions or even beloved family pets being stolen by individuals they invited into their homes. I hope that you understand that this is not anything against you personally, but that I feel it is best to err on the side of caution.
