FFCR is located in beautiful Ramona California. I started my rattery in April 2009, with the GOAL to create friendlier and healthier rats. Also to breed beautiful rats in all my favorite varieties. My rodents will ALWAYS be my pets first and foremost.
I AM PRIVATE WITH MY RODENTRY. I BREED TO IMPROVE THE FANCY, I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THE POLITICS OF THE RODENT BREEDING WORLD. I WILL NOT BUY INTO SLANDER. I LOVE MY RATS AND WORK FIRST TO PLEASE THEM, THEN SECOND TO PLEASE PEOPLE. I CAN PROVIDE YOU A FRIENDLY, HEALTHY AND HAPPY RAT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE SLANDER, SO BE IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES, THANKYOU.

About The Breeder
Hello. My name is Shuron. I am 22 years old. I Love animals and have had almost every kind of animal there is. I have had rats since I was 5 years old and mice for about 5 years now. I am a new mother of a beautiful 3 year old baby girl. I am engaged. I Have been riding horses for 12 years now. I recently had to part with both of my horses though. I work as a dog groomer at Doggies Divine and love what I do! I could not imagine myself doing a job that did not involve animals. I live in Southern California and have all my life. I moved to Lakeside when I was about 14 and on November 1st 2011 I moved to Ramona. Ramona is very historic and beautiful. Its more rural with a western feel and I just love it! Well, that is me in a nut shell. I hope you enjoy my site and if you want to know anything more about me, just send me an email.
About The Rodentry
Rattery section on the Rodentry:
I breed merle rats. My goals for this line include continuing to improve type and improve personality as well as Make the rats bigger and create beautiful show quality merle ratties. I will be working for a healthier more friendly rat with great type and something that fits AFRMA show standards.
Mousery Section of the Rodentry:
I am currently breeding merle mice, roan mice as well as banded and dove agouti. I have standard and satin coat types in many different colors. My lines all have different goals and focuses but all in all I am working to create a more laid back, more beautiful mouse.

Inside the Rodentry
I use a variety of different cages for both rats and mice. Wire cages are a general rule for my rats but I have a few different types. I have two Martins R695 cages. One for my males and one for my females. They are HUGE and very nice cages and you can find them at martinscages.com. I also have one three story large cage as an unused spare as well as a smaller 3 story and a spare. I have three nursing cages. Two of them are wire and one is a home made bin cage. My rats get play time out side of their cages and their "play pen" is pretty much my entire house =]. My mice are kept in a few different kinds of cages as well. I have a lot of Lab cages that usually house one single male or a single male being bred or a pregnant or nursing mommy. I have a bigger lab cage that bigger mice litters and mommies go into once the babies start to move around. I have 2 10 gallon tanks that house what ever I put in them at the time. They usually hold a breeding colony of around 5 mice or they are used as a nursery cage for multiple litters and moms or they are used to house juvenile males but I switch it out all the time and use it for what ever I need them for at the time. I also have a HUGE female colony cage that houses almost all my female mice. It is equipped with tons of toys and houses and the girls love it! I use Rice Hull bedding. It is oil and aroma free and has about the same amount of dust aspen does. And the rats can dig in it and love it! =] I feed a mix of my own that includes but is not limited to oats, HT lab blocks, seeds, cheerios and more! as well as fresh(or frozen on hot days) fruits and veggies and ratty treats. If it gets TOO hot and the fans are not keeping them cool enough I put frozen gerber jars filled with ice in the cages for the rodents to suggle up with and cool off. I also have a heater in there for the winter months and recently purchased a swamp cooler for the summer. Every mouse that is in a lab cage gets 10-20 mins in the mouse "play pen" daily. I would love to give them more time but I want everyone to have some time in it and I cant put the males in together... This is how my rodentry is set up for now but it is always under construction and will always have improvements being done to try and make it a happier place for my critters. =]
This is my male cage. It is a Martins R695. Its huge and the boys LOVE it! It has one hammock, a bed, an igloo, a crinkle tunnel and has just had a box house, wheel and hanging wood chew toy added that are not pictured.
This is the female cage. It is a HUGE martins R695 and the girls LOVE it! It has 2 hammocks, a pink bed, a large igloo, a box house, a wheel and some hanging wood chew toys. I love this cage and so do the girls!
This is my Extra cage. I put the rats in it while I clean their cages. It also can be used as a quarantine cage or what ever else I need it as.
