Partnered with Isamu
|
Lovecraft Stud - Based in Lancaster
Run by Lisa Maurin. Lisa and me very much share the same ideals in rats as well as a strong friendship and working together is just logical step from that. Lovecraft rats and Isamu rats are very much the same rats, just born in a different house. Her website has lots of lovely photo's and some really interesting statistics, such as baby weights as they grow. She also has a facebook group where you can see more litter photos and such. |
Links to other Breeders
Below are links to other breeders who I personally recommend. They work in part with the same Tabi rat lines, but also with there own lines too. I would (and in many cases have) happily own rats from these breeders.

Useful Informations Sites, Forums and Clubs
|
NERS - North of England Rat Society
This club is very much my home. It is based around the North of England but does occasionally have shows as far south as Cambridge. It aims to equally promote rats as pets and as show animals, providing lots of information on rat care and breeding as well as a lovely friendly atmosphere at shows. Fancy Rats Forum
A large mainly UK based forum, with many active members and a wealth of advice and ideas. Also a thriving community for sharing stories, pictures and chat. |
Recommended Rat (and other animal) Care Businesses
There are several online businesses out there that I regularly use and would recommend to others, or that I know well and would use if I was based in the right area.
