Rat People Blog

What are your dreams? I want to know your stories I have always been a very curious person. And nothin has changed! I always want to know what’s going on with folks. What are your secret dreams, but you don’t do it or share it with us because of a reason? Describe your favorite rat and why? Is it what they look like?..he/she has a funny marking on her/his tummy? You like the way he runs up to break the cage door down when you come home from work? She eats food like you haven’t fed her in weeks (he he )..and you just fed her breakfast a couple of hours earlier? His fur feels feels softer than …what is the softest thing in the world?..That. It’s funny the “other” people who don’t have rats as pets say: “rats stink” but I think dogs and cats stink and that rats smell good to me. To me.. a rat just can’t do wrong. You find that silk skirt, uh, “munched” a bit. When I discover it later I just smile. Ya, ya so my precious ratties had a little fun, I could never get mad at them. Seriously, they just don’t evoke anger from me. I do notice however how good they are. They play togther real nice, they clean one another with no altererior motive. They just always give you loves. What makes certain people love rats? What makes you love rats?

My dreams (goals/intentions) for the site are to find homes for poor little homeless unloved ratties. It all started back when I was finally allowed to have a pet. I brought home twin cats. I dreamed of having a cat for years. Whenever I went over to a friends house who had a cat I would go crazy. Awwww look! I was mush. So I went to the pet store to pick up a few  toys to spoil my cats (Mama and Papa) -even though they were brother and sister. he he :-) I thought a mouse (real one) could be a fun toy for my cats..wait, hold on!…When I got home and reality sat in I started to think about the mouses feelings and  her life. I got really protective of her and started to take care of her . I changed my mind. I started to give the mouse a nice little life here at home with me. The next time or so I went to the pet store looking for cool spoiling devices for the cats. I saw their rats and asked if they bite. The sales boy said “no” and it was all over from there…he he I became addicted and ended up adopting my cats to a sweet girl.

Stay tuned!!… why the website started and what are my goals.

How are ya’ ?

What are you doing? Certainly would love to hear about you folks lives!!! Please do post, or post in the yahoo group here if you dont want everyone to see your messages. The yahoo group is called ratplanetandfriends in the yahoo groups.

Also we need to get the word out that we are seeking for “unsung heros” of any race, age, income level etc.

are seeking an interesting or impressive story. We will interview the chosen story and feature it in our newsletter as well as on our website or our future sister website called projectaynda.org (a non-profit to support Darfur). 

RatPlanets community service  really needs your help in supporting low income families to get thier ratty neuterted. Please donate today!!! One neuter is 40.00- it is possible to raise that for as many families as we possibly can. Thank you for your consideration

Our Funds have come to a hault for the moment so we have to wait to make needed adjustments and to put up on the site all of our newest wonderful ratty items to entertain and keep a rat social community alive to stay connected when they need help, medications, and be able to help ratty families.

Some of the new things we have planned however, are a rat health care book, more medicines that simple for families to use. We are putting up in the RatMart a home midical kit, Rat furniture and beds, unique handmade rat collectors gifts, hopefully T-shirts if we can find a supplier who is reasonable, all possible natural methods possible for ratty health issues and mental/behavior issues. You will see new items and other new things to do or buy on the website added weekly! we have designed a ratty merry-go-round and down feather bed. Most things needs funds to be able get them upon the web to show you folks. The list is enough as to what is coming, I couldnt even attempt to count.

Please keep in mind that when you shop in the RatMart the proceeds go to RatPlanet to support the communities needs and their rats.

Sincerely,

Happy Friday!

The world is still moving on its axis therefore everyone is out there moving, moving on, upward…always moving somewhere, especially in the 21st century the poulation has exploded where the statistics by our county coroners office list the all number of deaths has been the same  back for years! I used to think Los Angeles was a sardine factory; now other big cities are little Los Angeles, yuck. Change posses different challenges and yet more opportunities in the same breath. So, basically we need to just always be greaful no matter what’s going on or not going on for us.

The forecast of 2007 for the RatParadise website additions and adjustments will be a constant flow of new rats items listed. Some are necessiary rat health and comfort products as well as luxury furniture, rat gift ideas -you name it! Exposing viewers to Rat Enhancement toys, ideas and innovative methods of training and also mental health adjustment tools. Some of these items include a behavior clicker and a time out spray, specialty and handmade housing products, jewlery, organic foods, supplies and similar. A cute sturdy merry-go-round for rats is currently in reaseach and development right now. We have all the ideas and many of the sources but are at a stand still because of funding. The websites proceeds go to ratplanet to support homeless raties and those in need of alteration. So, as I’m sure you realize that seek sponsors. If any one has any ideas or referrals accordingly. Please let us know! We are here to help and make rats lives healthy and also enjoy everyday through our efforts with the entertainment and sources we provide through out the site.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Signing off for now.

Blessings,

Becka 

Dear Rat People,

Hope you are enjoying your visit with ratParadise. I recently received feedback from some folks who were generous enough with their time to give us their input!…Thank you! We love input, it’s never considered negative. Trust me! We know it only guides us how give people what they need and enjoy. We want this to be the easiest place to find what you needc and simply shop without any chalege whatso ever. Booooooooy, I certainly understnd going through frustration on the net and not have a real person on the phone or next to you to fix it real quick like instead of having to feel frustrated or give up. We know that we have the best “Rat everything” to play and enjoy the site setting the stage for the most fun with games and activities always going on-online here.

 So I have already started a plan to reorganize home page to make it easier to undertand and easier to look at (user friendly). Again! love you ideas if you are so gracious to leave input under “customer feedback. ” We are listening!
We are here for you to serve you in the utmost swift satifying manner possible!The ratmart now has about 50 new items as of today. There will probably be about 50 more coming in through out the month. We are opening an entire RAT RX with alll possible natural rmemdies for all rat health issues. Most of these remedies are for people as well. Since we are administering them on our little fur gems then it requires only a very tiny portion of a tablet, breaking it up into 4ths or 5ths. So basically all the heath products here form rats last for ever!! Then if you think about it the price really is not clearly understood as you will use several times less for a rattie. For example, the noni juice would last about a year which then it actually costs less than $4.00 month for the Organic version, even: shipped over from texas! Instead of looking at it as 45.00 a bottle which I might add!!.. is priced at (our cost) so we make no money off of the noni juice. The reasoning is I really want people to have access to such great stuff and sooo much more every month as I research daily to track down the finest products imaginable for our members!!

 People use Noni juice in cancer programs to prevent and/or maintain their condition. There will be extentive info about this very very important product info used for many health issues up on the website as soon as I can possibly get it up!!Everythings coming up on the site and I’m only one person trying to do 1000’s of items as well a sall my regular work on my todo list for the site to create a it to be fully capable to support every possible ratty need. etc to make sure all rats that come here are in Paradise.

Blessings,

Becka A. Grady

How are you ratty folks out there! Im always thinking about you all dear folks and what your ratty needs are!Since this is still a fairly new organization, it takes so much time to get all the fun rat products up! Frustrating a bit. Because there is so much up coming this year!!! We are working our behinds off to get every imaginable ratty need possible and put each up in the store or any where else on the site needed: if you can make your comments so we know what you need! I have so many many responsibilities and am currently over whelmed with a bit too much on my plate. I’m an over worker also rats are hard to resist to work with and teach them things, they are just so adorable and loving.. my rats get everything. I want to provide all the members with a wonderful life full of rat needs and luxuries that each heart desires. Along with the community here who all care so much about each other who are always there for you whenever you have any thoughts, fears or questions about rats. We are honored to have this lovely dedicated group to be here at RatParadise supporting RatPlanet. Smiles for miles! Goodbye friend (for now)

Hiya :-0)

Allow me to introduce myself I am Becka the owner of RatParadise.com. I’m writing because I figured out that I should blog to show folks what’s going on here at RatParadise.com. Then you can write me back comments about what you see!!! I would like that.

I’ve never done a blog before so I’m gonna give it my best shot to figure out what to do here. What do other people write? Inner most feelings?… or statistics on how their business is doing? hahaha. :0) What a fun opportunity to ad lib about whats going on… Sounds exciting! However I’d like to know what you want to know, what you feel is important to know about the website. What are your interests or favorite aspects to learn about? I appreciate your interest and having the opportunity to share the RatParadise.com Daily News with you!

I suppose you might want to know how it all got started…hmm. Long story. I discovered pet rats by accident amazed, I unexpectedly discovered what they are capable of! WOW! I found out there is a whole world of rat commuinty out there. I noticed there were thousands of people all over the world who felt the same way I did about rats. They are supportive, knowlegable, fun community of rat folks. The people are great and stick together… often as really close friends across the states. Well, with the internet days here I guess you would assume just that. Many are knowledgable about the science of pet rats and therefore give out lots of great free information when you have any health or behavioral issues with our pet rats. It really kinda brings you closer and start a bond when coming togther to talk about the sad and exiting things that go on with our pet rats. It feels like we have a secret from the world, that we know about Pet rats and the general population hasnt dicovered the rat experience. Shhhhh  :0) haha. We feel like we really have something very special to know about rats and to receive their precious love. Don’t tell any one..we want to be unique and have something that other people dont get to know about. You know, we feel like we are on top of the pet heirarchy. Other people think we’re nuts but, we feel we have the secret “golden” pet so  we just blow everyone off as they are naive to this.

The Ratty Band

When it’s midnight in your housie
And you’re sleepin’ in your bed,
Little footsteps come a steppin’
Til they’re right up by your head
Then you hear the beat and music
Of a whole unheard-of land
You never would have guessed it
It is a ratty band!

Don’t ask them how they learned to play
They couldn’t tell you now.
They use their tails to beat the time,
They seem to know just how.
They’ve come to serenade you,
So grin it if you can
And give a great big clapper
To this wonderful ratty band!

We look forward to your comments!
