We hear lots of people complain that their rats are always sick. When ours are cleaned up for properly, this has never been an issue of ours!
~Naturally more personable to other pets
Safer in case of an escape of either animal
~Less busy, more calm & affectionate personalities
More bonding time, less wrangling overall
~Comfortability with non-consentual handling
Safer and less stressful in the event of cage cleaning, health checks, vet work, etc...

Our Story
Café Rats was established in May of 2025. At that time, the breeder who bred our rats ended their breeding program. We already had several pet males, each containing different samples of genetics from her program. We are very lucky to have gotten the start we were given! Our founder's heart rat, Espresso, has great temperament. We felt that it would be wasting an opportunity not to breed him with the beautiful rats from the hobbyist who quit. We acquired 4 healthy females, and we began test breeding last year! We're very happy with how things are turning out!
