Rodents of Unusual Sweetness (ROUS)

A Seattle rattery specializing in exceptionally friendly pet rats

Hi! My name is Lynn Rosskamp and I'm the rat concierge around these parts. My life in rats began in 1997, when my husband Wilhelm and I adopted a rescued lab rat. We fell in love with his ratty ways, discovered the rat fancy community in Western Washington, started breeding and showing in 2000 and have been bossed around by a wonderful colony of rats ever since. We are long time members of RatsPacNW and, with their help, started putting on Ratapalooza, Seattle's pet rat expo, which has been going strong for over a decade. After a bit of a hiatus, I am back into breeding pet rats. My breeding stock come from carefully chosen Northwest breeders who, like me, care about the health, longevity and temperament of their rats first and foremost. Show ribbons are nice, but my primary concern as a breeder is to know that my rats are treasured members of their human families. We also take in rescues from time to time and highly recommend Best Friend Rodent Rescue if you are looking to enlarge your ratty family with a rescued pet. You can also like us on Facebook for breaking rattery updates.
