We have peepers

Yvaine's kittens have eyes, so it won't be long before they are chasing around after mum. This was actually taken just before they opened their eyes.

We have:
1 x Black Eyed Russian Blue Point Siamese doe
4 x Black Eyed Siamese does
2 x Ruby Eyed Siamese does
1 x Black Eyed Russian Blue Point Siamese buck
1 x Ruby Eyed Russian Blue Point Siamese buck
3 x Black Eyed Siamese bucks
2 x Ruby Eyed Siamese bucks

All the kittens from this litter are provisionally booked, my next litters will be mated in February / March 2011.

Yvaine and Orrin babies

Yvaine gave birth today to a nice round 14 babies. At a first check it looks like 7 girls (5 black eyed and 2 ruby eyed) and 7 boys (4 black eyed and 3 ruby eyed), though it's possible that I got them wrong.

About Me

My name is Lois and I have a small rattery based in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. My aim is to breed good tempered, healthy rats in Russian Blue Point Siamese, Seal Point Siamese and Black for both pet and show. I am a member of the NFRS, and tend to show my rats at NFRS shows in the south and south west. I am also a NFRS Show Secretary and a member of the NFRS Committee with the roles of Hon. Treasurer and Website and Forum Administrator. Caledonian Rats is not an NFRS stud name, but simply a name I used to identify the rats I breed. However, 'Caledonian Rattery' is an NFRS registered rattery and I hope to gain my stud name in the future.
