COMING SOON!
All of our rats must be returned if you cannot keep them or if you already have placement, we would like to know where they are going. We MUST be notified and we have first rights if a breeder decides to re-home one of our rats. We do not want our rats in danger of becoming feeders!
None of our rats will be allowed to leave before 5 weeks preferably 6 weeks. After we pick the rats we want to keep, adopters will be allowed to pick from the remaining pups.
All adoption fees must be made in cash and are due upon pick-up.
All adopters will be required to sign an adoption agreement. You must be 18 or older or have a guardian contact me in order to adopt a rat. If you are under 18, I am happy to discuss adoption with you, but I will have to talk to a parent/guardian in order to reserve a rat and when it is pickup time. If your rat has any health problems, we must be informed since it is important in developing healthy lines.
RCM has pick of litter of all litters and breeders have priority over regular adopters. If you are on the waiting list and decide not to adopt, please notify me ASAP. This will not automatically exclude you from future adoptions.
Traveling
We may be willing to meet adopters in surrounding areas. If it is further than 30 minutes away, we may require a fee. If we are traveling to that area anyway, there will be no fee. Although the bigger cities (Baltimore, Harrisburg, Frederick etc) are further away, that does not exclude you from being able to adopt, I will happily meet you in the middle or in your location for an extra fee to cover the gas.
We will be happy to discuss a meet up, if needed, so don't think our rats are unavailable because you are in another area! Sometimes we travel (mainly in the summer months) and would be happy to deliver your rat if it is along our route. If a travel fee is required, it needs to be paid before pickup is scheduled. Your contact cell phone # is absolutely required if we are meeting you some where.
Breeders
As a new breeder myself, at this time I will not turn out any of my rats as breeding stock to a new person. I'd be happy to discuss any questions you might have and I will answer them if I'm able =) Feel free to contact me! I don't bite too hard I promise ;)
