AS OF 2022, all animal sales will be conducted at my residence or nearby location. Any other sales conducted outside of these particular venues will be held at Moonshadow's discretion and travel/transportation will be at the buyer's expense. Please consider I only plan on having public litters twice per year with a limited number of babies that will be available to pet-homes. This helps to make sure all my exceptional babies will have homes by limiting the number of litters produced. Please reach out to me privately to discuss obtaining breeder quality animals. Also, I ask that you be honest with your intentions with animals purchased from Moonshadow so I can help you select the best possible animal or point you in the right direction.

All rats will be sold in same pairs or more, no exceptions!
Even if you have 10 rats at home, you still would be adopting at least 2 rats, Be prepared to take at least 2 rats home. Newcomers should be quarantined for the recommended amount of time before being introduced to your current mischief. It is unethical to house rats alone for any amount of time (with medical concerns being the exception.) especially with impressionable babies. Rats need other rats and will adjust better going to their new home with a friend.
Older rats will be adopted out with a pair of same sex offspring or with a retired friend(s).
Please consult with me first before considering rats for children under 8-10 years, especially if you are a first time owner. I will recommend going to our semi-annual adoption events to experience rats before purchasing.
