Rats will play games with their owners, including tug-o' war, hide-n-seek, and peek-a-boo. Rats are very playful and will wrestle with your hand the same way a kitten will. Many rats will lick their owners to show affection just like a dog. Some rats will roll over on their back so their owner can rub their tummy. They enjoy being rubbed behind their ears or scratched on their shoulders. They beg to come out of their cage to play and interact with their owners. They are smart enough to learn their names and will come when you call them.

Rats are extremely social and personable animals that bond strongly with their owners. They rarely bite and stay clean by grooming themselves like a cat several times a day. Domestic rats are as different from wild rats as dogs are from wolves. They have been bred to be gentle and affectionate. Pet rats are truly domesticated animals that have been bred selectively in captivity for hundreds of generations. Rats are removed from their mothers at 4½ weeks and available for purchase at 5 weeks old. Born in the safety of rack bins, litters are moved to a small rearing Martin's cage at about 3 weeks of age and combined with other litters of different color/markings to help socialize and allow the moms to have other adult rat contact. Misty Blue Rattery usually has rats available on a regular basis. Other colors that appear within both lines, but not bred for are: Pink Eyed Platinum, Champagne, Siamese, Black Eyed Siamese, Chocolate, Chocolate Burmese, Russian Blue, Russian Blue Burmese, and other colors because genetics can be mysterious.

Along with the Dumbo Blue line, Misty Blue Rattery also has a line of Burmese, standard and dwarf size, dumbo and standard ears. Misty Blue Rattery specializes in Blue Shade standard coat rats with dumbo ears in various patterns. Although Misty Blue Rattery was started in 2010 as a pet/show rattery, I have raised rodents and other animals for over 40 years. Misty Blue Rattery was named for the beautiful sky blue color rats I specialize in (my personal name is not Misty).
