LURELIN RATS
Breeding for Marten and Badger in Ashford, Kent
ABOUT LURELIN RATTERY
Lurelin Rats are based in mid-Kent and owned by Lauren. I have been a NFRS member since January 2022 and LSCMRC member since October 2022. I breed for badgers and martens, though related varieties occur. I breed for confident, friendly and healthy rats with good type.
As with any pet, please do plenty of research to see if rats are the right pet for you and to learn how to care for them. My care guides and other resources are available on my page. Once you're ready, a homing form will need to be filled out before joining my approved homes list. I'm happy to help new owners, just ping me an email or message the rattery's facebook page.
​
I have also compiled varieties, information about their genetics and information relating to breeding various varieties on this website. This is out of interest, to facilitate learning and to help me with my judge's training. Any feedback/corrections are welcomed!
​
Please note that I am not a business or a pet shop (I breed as a hobby), plus animals have no respect for plans, so babies won't be available on demand! I also work full-time, have a chronic illness and choose crazy hobbies, so I may not always be available. I will always do my best to support fellow rat lovers though!

BREEDING RATS
One of my primary aims is to contribute to the fancy nationally, so this section of my website is to catalogue my breeding rats (owned by myself and others within the fancy) in case they would be of use to other breeders. Photos and additional information are available on request to other breeders who are actively involved in the fancy.
