Precious Jems is a small hobby rattery dedicated to raising quality fancy rats in Central Oregon. Dedicated to raising quality fancy rats for pet and show.
Temperament and health comes first. I raise merle and varigated patterned rats in cinnamon, mink and pearl in a combination of colors and patterns with cinnamon pearl being my main focus at this time. Most of my varigateds are black, but I do get the occasional mink, red eye dilute and other combinations. I also work with standard coat, velveteen coat, standard ear and dumbo ear. I don't require a
long, drawn out application to purchase rats from me, but I do ask some questions to be sure my animals are going to responsible, loving homes. I request those who buy rats from me to please let me know first if you can no longer keep your pet. I guarantee that each rat I sell is healthy when it leaves my hands. I will be happy to share my knowledge and experience to help you keep your rat that way. I won't take your money and disappear. I cannot guarantee that your rat will not develop a upper respiratory infection at any time and I cannot guarantee your rat will not develop cancer. The mycoplasma that causes the respiratory infections exist in all domestic rats. I do my best to breed only rats that show a naturally strong immune system. This means that they have never been sick or, got a mild URI and got over it on their own I do not casually use antiiotics in my rattery. . Cancer is just impossible to breed out. I do guarantee temperament. If a rat you purchase from me develops aggressive behavior, I will take it back and I will replace it. If you have any questions about my rattery, please message me. I am happy to talk about my rats and my breeding program.
