WE ARE CLOSING!
It's extremely unfortunate that we have to close, but we will leave the site up for informational purposes. Maybe in a few years, JHR will be back.
I'm sad to say I have to rehome my younger rats (my founder rats are the only exception, as they've been with me for years, and are too old for such a change). Please see my Available Rats page.

Welcome!
Upon realizing there are few ratteries in or around Chico California, I decided to start my own. Through selective breeding of healthy and sweet rats, we hope to offer amazingly lovable, healthy babies to Chico and our neighbors.
The Jazz Hot Rattery is a small scale rattery opened officially in 2007. We believe keeping it small scale will help us stay sane, and will allow us to focus on our babies, our health, and our temperments.
It's our aim to produce the healthiest, and sweetest pets around, as well as upping the knowledge of these amazing creatures.

Our Goals:
Though healthy and happy ratties is obviously our biggest aim, we have aesthetic aims as well.
A couple colours we're in love with, are blues, whites (PEW&BEW), burmese, and fawns.
I'd like to get some hairless, dumbo, Harley, and rex rats circulating as well.
And we want to breed BIG rats. The larger the rat, the longer the life. :)
(Note that I don't know whether this statement is fact or fiction-- it's just my cheap logic.)
