Welcome to our Mischief
Welcome to ALOE (A Little Of Everything) Rattery. We are a small family-style rattery based out of Carmichael, California. We strive to produce well tempered, social and healthy rats. We breed with temperament and health as the first priority above all else.
We have been working on our lines for almost a decade to be able to offer a wide variety of rats to choose from including Dwarf, Rex, Hairless, Silvermane, Harley, Marten, and more! See Our Rats page for examples of colors/coats.
Please check our Available Rats for current availability, we almost always have babies looking for new homes! Feel free to reach out via the Contact page if you have any questions or would like to move forward with adopting any of our rats!
Our Goal
I began breeding as just a personal hobby, born out of my passion for learning more about rat genetics. Later, when I discovered there was almost no rat breeders in the Sacramento area, I decided to begin offering my rats locally to give people a place to obtain quality pet rats they otherwise did not have access to. Seeing the amount of “feeder breeders” and pet stores with sick, aggressive rats, I developed my goal to produce rats that are friendly by nature, do not bite, and have the ability to live long and healthy lives. I breed to prevent health issues like tumors, weak immune systems, malocclusion, megacolon, or any other health issues that may plague rats from lower-standard breeders.
About Us
My name is Megan, and I run ALOE Rattery with the help of my loving and VERY patient husband. 10 years ago, we actually met because of our mutual interest via a Craigslist ad that he had posted selling rats of his own. (As strange of a love story as that is.) With both of us having been avid animal lovers our entire lives, we clicked right away. Together, we now own and care for animals of all kinds, including our rats, mice, chickens, goats, dogs, fish, and even an emu. The list goes on, but we have never lost our passion for the pets that led us to each-other.
Our Policies
No Contracts
We are a no nonsense, no strings attached rattery. No contracts required.
No Visiting
We are a PRIVATE rattery; we do not allow the public to enter our home. This is for the safety of our rats & our family and is not negotiable.
No Refunds
All sales are final. Though we will accept free returns of rats if you cannot keep your rat(s) for any reason. We do NOT take in rescue or rats from other sources/breeders.
Reservations, Fees & Pickup
A 50% nonrefundable deposit will be required to reserve or hold rats that cannot be picked up immediately (limit of one week).
Once the Purchaser has placed their deposit, their rat(s) must be picked up within one week, or a $5 boarding fee per rat, per extra week, will be charged.
Adoption Fees must be paid in full at pickup or prior to pickup in cash (exact change only) or by Venmo or CashApp. Purchasers will be made aware of the full price of the rats prior to finalizing the sale and must provide a carrier or box to transport their animals on pickup.
Delivery to surrounding areas can be arranged as needed, but will require an extra fee up front to cover gas depending on distance. We do not ship.
Must be 18 years or older
Under no circumstances will ALOE Rattery sell rats directly to a minor. We are supportive of children having rats as pets. However, we understand that children cannot be solely responsible for pet guardianship. If you adopt from us for your child(ren) please know that YOU are primarily responsible for that pets safety and health.
Exchanges
The Purchaser has up to 14 days after the rat(s) have been picked up to return them for a replacement if they are not happy with their chosen rat for any reason. After the 14 day period, ALOE Rattery may agree to take the rat(s) back, but will no longer offer exchanges.

Purchaser agrees to hold ALOE Rattery harmless for any potential diseases, damages or injuries said animals could transmit or cause. ALOE, is hereby absolved from any liability for future damages or injuries caused by any animals purchased, and any veterinary bills incurred on behalf of said animals.
