Ermm... I don't believe that their colour variation is called morphs. They comes in a huge variety of colours like cream, dove, black, agouti, blonde, white, roan etc.

But very hard to find here cuz nobody breeds fancy rats.

oops. trying to get my terminologies correct doh.gif thanks.

not even mr.tikusniaga? hehe.
years ago while purchasing my fancy mice i saw two rats in the opposite cage. i thought fancy mice were cuter coz they were smaller and that petshop had interesting colours, compared to the rats which were available in white only.

pet Family got sell but now down to 2 hooded fancy rats only.... like a dark brownish grey and white... Like the 1st pic lah the dark hooded one. 1 is male and 1 is female... then the rest all the white rats loh.

Cage set up is quite easy but my cage not with me.... LOL... gotta wait. Now they living in a pail.

Anyway, get a nice tall cage. Pet Family selling a nice tall and big cage, just a bit rusty only for RM20! So nice... but you gotta repaint it a bit lah but really new... just rusty a bit due to humidity from air cond and their fish aquariums loh. In the cage you can hang hammocks, ropes to climb, wooden bird toys, PVC pipes, toilet roll, cups, even bird swing that is large and wide enough. Some people put bells and cat toys to hang. Rats are playful and energetic and I was very surprised to see them quite tame.

Got a wide variety of colours also but then not all available here lah.
Now I got 2 creams with dark ruby eyes... then plus that dark hooded...

pail? shocking.gif can tahan ah? haha. thanks for the info smile.gif

Pet Family is at Taman Megah... You can take the Putra LRT and stop at Taman Bahagia to walk there. The cages are just a bit rusty but never used before... Good size. I think a few are Japanese brands... Rm20, go get a new non-toxic paint job for it then kau tim, good as new hahahah...

mouse, is it anywhere near the old lkw building?

also, how long is the lifespan of a rat? are they tame when you first got them?

3 years (average)

if you are willing to pay, I can make it very tame ..... I gave up this business because people are not willing to pay for my hardwork. Now I am selling those that can bites and I can sell them like hotcakes.
*
willing to pay = sounds scary lol. how much per tail? (seekor lol) do you have nice colours to choose from?

QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Nov 28 2006, 08:46 AM)
Hahah... now not in pail anymore but in a storage box... i'm quite surprised that they know it's their home. The storage box is low and has an opening for air... they climb out and go back in on their own and never go missing.... so funny when I come back into my room, coz everytime I enter my room, 3 heards will poke out.

Yah, is that place lah... Taman Megah... the shop near the hawker stall area...
*
sounds cute! like chipmunk lol.

err..still not familiar...izzit anywhere near williams?

Well, easier if you take the LRT to Taman Bahagia... then get down, go across the road and walk to the shop houses there. Walk straight, cross the road then sampai a bengkel kereta, walk straight and got Secret Recipe and sure in front is the petshop hahaha...

Today I realise 1 female rat is bigger and fatter. She eats everything first then only the 2 others will eat. She thinks she is boss and she makes funny sounds when on my shoulder hahahah... I dunno if it is a cold or it's her way of communicating to me.

haha. i love pets with character. post some pics if u can ya? thanks for the directions smile.gif

I am taking over the marketing part for them now. We decided it will be RM30 a rat. You can see the rats before booking. The babies are only 1 week old.  9 of them, the father name is BEN, a very hugh tame cream hooded rat. Elizabeth will do the socilaizations. I will do the marketing only. Her house is only 3 minutes drive from my house. I can bring you there to see the rats.

ahh...okay. pls pm me once they're ready to go. thanks every1 in this thread!
