Happy Neil banging out the tunes day! I don't have the mental energy to draw a new one this year so here's my old drawing.

Website updated! A hefty handful of 8 week old boys are looking for new hammocks!

Rip Boba Fett. One of my hospice old men past away today - on his 3rd birthday 🎂

Hello, April 🍒☁️☀️✨️💙

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Taking new pics of the babies today-- who aren't babies anymore! 6wk 5 days old already! They're big kids!! Also will be weighing them all... wish me luck! 😅

Fixing up my rats closet playpen (that my cats destroyed), and then tossing rats in for playtime! I'll climb in there too and be their jungle gym lol

Finally taking pics of the baby girls today, I hope! All but 2 are reserved! #ratbreeder

Separated baby girls from the boys yesterday & introduced the 12 girls to their babysitter: Audrey! They're so excited & immediately went about exploring their new cage! Boys will be Separated from their mama's today & introduced to their babysitters: Vivi = standard boys, and Flint = dwarfs.

My mentor came over for a visit today, and confirmed two of my babies from her line have dragon eye!! So I'll be keeping one of them. Gotta decide who...

Busy with boring chores today - but then I get a reward of playing with all 29 baby rats in my bathtub!!

She's bullying me.

Hello, March 🌿

rutabaga mouse (charming)

I'll be taking new glamour pictures of everyone this wknd and hopefully find new hammocks for several really good, awesome young rats who I'm going to miss something fierce.

After a lot of thought and consideration, as well as talking over things with a few breeder friends, I've decided to shelf my mentors marten line. Due to health issues that have come up in the line, as well as my finances & health concerns, I'm needing less stress & more accommodations to my time.

It's cage cleaning & refresh day! New litterboxes, hammocks, cardboard & wipe downs for everyone! #petrats #ratbreeder

One of these days I have to go to central library and make more buttons for adopters!! They're just so fun.

I have many siamese and/or beige babies. Guess I better find my coloured sharpies, we're gonna need to start colouring butts and tails soon! #ratbreeder #skyrats

I can't get over how strikingly pretty these baby girls are! 1 week old! #ratbreeder #skyrats

Good morning, friends! I CANNOT believe the babies are 5 days old already!

which one of these lovely bacheloRats are YOU asking out for valentines day?

Coming soon! A page on my site explaining the differences btwn satin coat, velveteen, satin velveteen, velveteen/teddy rex, and rex 💛 with pictures of infant and adult whiskers & coats!

So where do we go for community if discord goes tits up and I can't stand fb/meta and would love to leave it behind if I could?

Hoping to take first glamour shots of the new babies today, and update the glamours for some availables! <3

I've downloaded the Basemix app this afternoon and been inputting ratto pedigrees for the last 2 hours... Hyperfocused, yes! I can't recommend it enough! Great app! #ratbreeder

It's been politely brought to my attention that pedigrees should be sir/buck first, dame/doe 2nd/following. They will be this way going forward. Until now I have always done doe first- as she does all the work! 😅 Just so the change is noted & explained!

Bean totals: Lenna 2 (two). Bonnie 14 (fourteen); 4 black eyed beans fostered to Lenna. Hilda 15 (fifteen). 1 asleep. Three litters. 30 beans.

All 3 expectant mamas had their litters *at the same time* this afternoon 😅 Everyone is recovering well. Waiting for them to come out of their nests before I do head counts.

Still waiting.

I've got pans soaking to be washed so we might celebrate the Great and Resplendent Suberb Owl with an offering of Crunch Wraps for dinner tonight.

The exhausting part of waiting for peeps is the waiting -- and trying to find things to do so im not hovering, haha 😅

I did the math. My 3rd anniversary litter in April will also be my 20th litter since I started breeding!

Working on updating and tweaking my rat discord servers this weekend and trying to get them active again. It'd be nice to see them active, bc fb/meta is trash, after all. If you'd like a chill & quiet place to talk rat things or breeder things, hit me up in DM's and I'll share the invites.

Battling day 5 of this headache; however I am hoping to catch up on rat things this weekend! Hilda looks ready to pop! Her belly is shaped and has dropped, for sure. Tomorrow is her earliest due date, could she give me beans right on time!?

Lenna is in the bin cage up in my bedroom. I think Bonnie still has almost another week to go but Hilda might give birth on Monday or even Sunday, she's huge. Hype!

While it may seem quiet on the social media front, it's anything but here at Stellar Rats! We're busy getting to know the new BSS rats and starting intros... As well as prepping for BABYPOCALYPSE incoming next week with THREE (3) litters due! Exciting updates are on the horizon! 🧡✨️

A few plant cuttings added from my darling BFF- and my silly little sweet potato. The guppies are confused. The cherry shrimp are in heaven.

I literally redid my screen aesthetic two nights ago. #starwars #anakin

They're here!!! 6 new friends, from WTCH's mentor BSS, since my sweet darling sister rattery is pausing her program indefinitely.

10 more days until Babygeddon when I have THREE (3) litters due 😅

So I'm going to have to get a sweet potato for my 10g aquarium w guppy & cherry shrimp 😆 I have a *mighty need* to try growing it!

the girls!

Thinking of doing individual blog posts for each of my rats- Would yall want to see little things about our pet-only rattos & retirees as well as current & upcoming breeders/potentials? #ratbreeder #skyrats

✨️ New blog post up on my website! Hope everyone is cozy, safe and warm during this winter storm! ❄️

I've got a few blog posts coming up to be published in the next week or so: detailing big changes to the Stellar Rats program, and breeding plans for 2026. Please be patient as I adjust post-holidays rush 🙏

Dynamight, my oldest's void cat, asked very politely for uppies and spent like 20 min on my shoulder (and boobs) making biscuits and purring and giving me many head butts.

Happy holidays from Stellar Rats!!! 🎄✨️
