Welcome to the Shire - Home of Shirelings Rattery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
We breed very selectively for longevity, health, and temperament - colour and type are just icing on the cake
Meet our Mischief: Smeagol, Sam, Merry, Frodo, Pippin, Peregrin, Took, Buck, Gollum, Rosie, Mimosa, Lily, and Bella
Enter the Nursery.  See who's expecting kittens, and watch our ratlings as they develop.
Rats have the potential to live to be four and five years old, breeders must start focusing on life span.  Pets living only to 18 or 24 months simply isn't acceptable.  Find out how we work, and how we are hoping to achieve longer lived pets.
Find out why I call my breeding efforts Shirelings Rattery, and why all of my rats are named after Hobbits.
Contact me, TD Yandt, for more information on my Ratties.
Thanks for visiting with us here at the Shire.  I hope you've enjoyed your visit with us.  Come back soon - our rats are always up for visitors.
