News from The Dapper Rat Website update: Yes, we're still alive! Sorry for the long delay in updating the site, things have been hectic here. Hopefully there will be more regular updates now that we're through the first few exhausting months with a new baby! The Dapper Bub: Isabelle is growing way too fast (she's already over 4 months old!) and is becoming more gorgeous and more adorable daily. See The Isabelle Gallery for photos of her. Emails: I'm sorry I've been unable to answer rat questions on email lately. With a demanding Isabelle and running my business I simply don't have the spare time to answer all of the emails I receive each day. If you have a rat question, contact ratinfo (for general rat care questions) or rathelp (for urgent rat medical questions). Brisbane Pet Expo: The Dapper Rat will be attending The Spectacular Petacular on 15-16th March. If you're in Brisbane, come along and chat rat with us! |

Isabelle has arrived! Alan and I are very proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Isabelle Claire. Born on the 16th October 2007, weighing 3.14kg (6lb 14.5oz). Isabelle is a cute, cuddly and calm little bub who isn't stressing out her new parents too much just yet. She has met the boys, who sniffed her with fascinated interest. No doubt she'll grow up to be an enthusiastic rat lover like her parents. More photos of Issy and the boys coming soon! |

The Dapper Rat Calendar 2008
We're nearly finished shooting the calendar and it should be announced and available for pre-order within a week or so. This photo of the adorable Waffle will be one of the images in it. You can see more of the calendar shoots here. Important notice to our customers Our first child is due 25th October, so anytime from now on I may drop off the internet unexpectedly for a few weeks. We will continue to accept orders during this time, but expect extended delays. I hope to have lots of stock in all colours ready beforehand, but would appreciate relaxed hammock colour choices to avoid extra sewing. I won't be able to do any custom hammock orders. We apologise for any inconvenience delays may cause. But rest assured orders will reach you in time for Christmas! So please order early for Christmas cards, calendars, and gifts for your rats and rat loving friends. |

News
Fuzzlets: Our three new little fuzzlets have well and truly settled in now and become as naughty and as adorable as a Dapper Rat should be (as you can see in the photo on the left). You can meet Splash, Gecko and Waffle on the Meet Our Rats page. New photos of them coming soon. Birthday Bucks: Noogs and Schnoz celebrated their 2nd birthdays recently. See some photos from their birthday party here. A Dapper Bub: In personal news, we're expecting our first child later this year! In preparation for the big event, we hope to have The Dapper Rat Calendar 2008 available early this year (ratty models obliging). And we encourage everyone to purchase their calendars and Christmas presents early, as we will probably have to close for a few weeks around late Oct-Nov. |

Brisbane Rodent Rescue
Brisbane Rodent Rescue, along with Australian Cavy Sanctuary, recently rescued over 100 rats from appalling conditions. Details of the rescue here. The rats are now safe at BRR, being properly cared for and responding well to love and friendly handling. Such a huge rescue obviously strains BRR's resources, but there's been a wonderful response from rat owners, both local and international, with donations of supplies, money and time. If you're able to offer help of any kind, and particularly if you'd like to adopt some of these rats, please contact Lou at BRR: ldux@bigpond.net.au Phone: (07) 3359 9554 (9am-6pm) or Mobile: 0431 827 760 Renee Barker's wonderful photos of the rescues can be viewed in an Album or as a Slideshow. |
