About Us
Focused on health, temperament, and the quiet art of doing things right.
Nestled among the evergreens of central Maine, Pocket Pines is an AFRMA registered rattery which specializes in the ethical breeding of companion rats. With a strong emphasis on temperament, health, and sound structure, our mission is to better the species through slow, intentional pairings and hands-on care.
We have a particular fondness for DWS or 'high white' but every rat we raise is nurtured in a clean, enriching environment and treated with the love and respect. Each baby is carefully cultivated through ENS (early neurological stimulation) for the strongest foundation, temperament tested at multiple stages, held back long enough to ensure stability, and raised on high-quality nutrition.
We believe in transparency, responsibility, and always putting the welfare of the animals first. Whether you're a first-time rat parent or a seasoned enthusiast, we welcome you to explore our site and see what makes our rattery special!
