JM Anastasia x JM Joe Perry
Litter Theme: Pop or Soda?!

Please read: I have decided to start using "Theme's" for naming of the litters. This is due to the fact that most people who adopt the rats as pets do not register them with the NARR. Because of this, i will be registering EVERY baby rat born here. This will make my job easier (as long as the adopters keep in contact with me) be allowing ME to accurately update the NARR database. Therefore, helping breeders who have adopted from me, and helping myself, to breed the right way. I will give the rat a registered name, but adopters can call them anything they want.

Stats: ---here you can view information on the condition of Ana and her growing litter---

6/5: Ana is definitely pregnant! She's gained a load of weight, and has the cutest baby belly! Expecting babies June 9th. Keep her in your thoughts for a safe delivery!

6/9: Babies were born promptly on the 9th, as expected. Two bouncing boys, and Eight lovely girls! It appears that we are going to have a very wide range of varieties and markings.    We have a lot of light eye'd babies, which means we could see beige and mink (and their dilutions), in Agouti and Black based colors. Pictures and more info will be posted as soon as possible!

6/13: I added pictures!!!!

6/14: Sadly we lost the runt sometime last night. She was holding on and i really thought she would make it :( Day 5 pics posted!

6/15: New Pics! These pups changed very fast overnight, i swear! Yesterday i suspected some merling on one of the girls, and today i am almost positive she is a merle. I still cannot tell for sure what colors most of the pups are, but the blacks and agouti's i'm almost 100% sure on.   I have assigned them some names, but these are subject to change if i think of better ones, before registration. You guys are all going to have to gang up on me to keep me from keeping all these babies from you! =) I removed the younger photo's from the page, but I still have them, if you would like me to email them to you, let me know. This keeps the page from running slow. Also, i cannot start reserving these pups until i am sure on color/markings. Please, be patient, it will be worth it once we know for sure what we are dealing with!

6/17: Pics are up from today.   These babies are stunning! I just love them all, agouti's are by far my favorite color, so i'm in heaven. I apologize if i do not reply to emails promptly, i am working a lot of overtime because of my coworkers going on vacation. This will all end after this coming week, thankfully!

Babies Born!!!: June 9th 2006

Theme: Pop or Soda?! Examples: Pepsie, Sierra Mist, Dr. Pepper, and you get the drift.

What to expect:
Black, Agouti, American blue, American blue agouti. Possibly Beige, Fawn, Platinum, and Platinum agouti. May also see mink and Cinnamon, Havana and Havana Agouti. All standard coat dumbo's.

Temperment: Expecting some sweet, kissy babies. Both parents are excellent examples of "lovable" rats. Ana is my darling, i love her more than i can say in words. She's my sweetheart, her first litter of kids have amazed me, i can't wait to see this litter!

Type: Perry is large, so i hope to add some size to the line. Ana's babies were actually decent sized, so these babies should be on the largish side. The pups should have excellent type, because of course, look at the parents =)

Goal(s): This is an outcross. Please read this article to get a better idea of how outcrossing is a useful tool for rat breeders. Will this breeding, I hope to produce a litter of larger and stockier rats. I will then try to add this line into my high whites, to strengthen the size. I'm kinda trying to see what Ana REALLY carries, as her last litter was a surprise. Also, i love the dilutes that may be produced with the pairing.

In order to save bandwidth, please visit my photo-bucket album for more pictures of the babies!
