July 2013 Contest Prizes Baby Dean cleaning his Momma's fingernails!

These two cute little outfits are from our "LAST LAUGH LINE". It is a flip joke to the snakes that did not eat the rattie! All of the items in the "Last Laugh Line" are snake print. If you do not see the humor in this, then please just don't submit a photo or buy the products. It is just for fun. Here's a little poem I wrote to go with the "Ha Ha Snakey Line"
HaHa Snakeys

I once was meant to be food,
For a slimy and slippery brood.
As I awaited the fate,
You came, and not a minute too late.
Now I live in your house,
Sometimes inside your blouse
I also live in your heart
Cause you gave me a new and fresh start
I dream of your love
And thank God up above
you came on that day
and took me away.

So now in the comfort of your warm and nice home,
I cuddle in snake skin as you talk on the phone.
HaHa Snakey, you did not get me,
but your snake skin now gives comfort you see.

HaHa Snakeys, You did not get me!!!

This cute FOREST GREEN RATTIE NECK WARMER/SCARF, FOR HUMANS TO WEAR, has a little button under it's neck that you can button into the scarf where ever is comfortable for you. It is my own creation and was hand crocheted, stitch by stitch.

And for the ratties....these cute little RATTIE SWEATERS also hand crocheted, stitch by stitch, in Forest Green and Black. I designed and hand crafted both styles after dog sweaters I make my own dogs. The first is traditional, the second was kind of a joke that worked out well. I was making my dog, Joy, a Granny Square Sweater and thought....why not make one for Nineveh. After I did and everyone saw it, they loved it. Both types of sweaters will fit most rattie sizes. They have an adjustable waist band that buttons shut.

Rat Back Pack with White Dice and Pirate Coin Four Hats  August 2011 Prizes champ in his hat from mexico

This little Rattie Backpack has been a looooong time coming. I have been making backpacks for dogs and goats and llamas and saddlebags for horses for over 20 years. I first made this little bitty one about 12 years ago for Beanie Babies. I have been working on this in my head for awhile. Making them exactly as I had for the Beanie Babies or even the dogs would NOT work for a rattie to actually wear. So here it is a little Rattie Gamblers BackPack! that will actually stay on your rattie and be comfortable for it to wear. The dice are sewn on, the coin (one per order) tucks into the pocket. The coin can double as a toy and trick prop for your rattie. The coin is gold toned and is light weight and textured enough for the small animals to pick up in their mouths (I have a Guinea Pig that uses this same coin for a trick prop).

HATS, HATS, HATS! Hats with Feather, Santa Inspired Hats, Hand Crafted Stitch by Stitch Crocheted Hats! Your ratties are going to look AMAZING in these little hats! Our hats stay on the ratties head with adjustable elastic. If your rattie is a darker color you can use permanent marker to color the elastic, just let it all dry before putting it back on the rattie.

However, if you are training for agility, do not leave a tunnel for them to sleep in inside their cage....tunnels will become a bed to them rather then something to go through.

December 2009 Photo Contest PrizesLestat loves Christmas!  (RIP little boy)

THIS FOUR PIECE SET OF RATTIE AGILITY CAN BE USED ALONE OR AS AN ADD ON TO A FULL SET (everyone wants to add pieces as the ratties learn the pieces and the course)

I love this cute Rainbow Peace Sign Print Fabric that this OPEN TUNNEL is made with. It is lined with Red Polar Fleece. Yes, it can be washed then hung to dry. Along with it is the Red Polar Fleece CLOSED TUNNEL. These Tunnels are rattie favorites, the trick is to teach the ratties to come out of the tunnels, they love going in.

More pieces coming for this month. I was injured in a horse training accident and am very behind on sewing and crafting.

I LOVE Rattie Caddies! I use these with my ratties, especially new and baby ratties. Ever had your rat pets run down into your clothes? They love the feeling of the dark and safe place.

Rattie Caddies are wonderful for bonding with a new or foster rattie as well as keeping a busy rattie in one place rather then running up and down your arms and body under your shirt!

I designed these after noticing how much our ratties LOVE to play in my husbands hoods on the back of his sweatshirts. I make these is flannel, polar fleece, cotton prints and mesh. The polar fleece and flannel will add extra warmth to your own neck in the winter. The mesh is wonderful for summer months.

This one is a BLUE SOFT MESH RATTIE CADDY and it will fit most people.

March Photo Contest PrizesHodor's BlanketOUR WINNER!!!! FOR MARCH 2008!! CONGRATS TO Michiko's Rattie!!

This month one of the prizes for first place will
be a nice sized Rabbit Print (cotton blend fabric)
hanging Hammock.
It is 13" x 14 3/4"

If you have never tied a hammock

how much time your
ratties will spend on this item.

I like this little Year of the Rat Dress. It has a Blue Polar Fleece top with a yellow bow and a Year of the Rat Rat Shaped gold toned charm. The skirt of this cute little and fun dress is a Blue Oriental Print Silk like fabric.

You can not see it too well, but the second outfit is called "Tye Dye T-Shirt and Jeans" the "jeans" have two pockets, one on each hip, and yes!! they hold itty bitty items. This is a KOOOOL Little outfit.

Contest PrizesThe Agile Rat is after all an Agility Site for Rats....
so here not only do we have
a Fancy Pet Rat Agility set of Tunnels for ratties to either practice
Rat Agility or play with and sleep in in their cages.
But also a cute little Spring Dress with Bow.

The first one, an Open Tunnel,
is hand crocheted.
I love these colors, soft yellow, greens, purples,
blues... really pretty. The Open Tunnel has an approx
3" opening and is approx 11" long.

The second Tunnel is a Closed Tunnel.
It is made from polar
fleece to match the
Open Tunnel. It is approx 3 3/4" wide in the front
for the rattie to go into and approx 12" long. This Tunnel too can be used for
Fancy Rat Agility or just a cage
item the ratties will love!!

The little Spring Dress is really cute. It has a pink top of polar fleece with a green bow. The skirt is a flower print and it is trimmed with lace. The waist size on this dress is 7" it will stretch a bit and a snug fit is a good fit. The measurement from the neck toward the tail it 6 3/4".

Rat EarringsWe are also adding these cute little gold toned rat shaped pierced earrings. I have a pair of these and really enjoy wearing them.

The earrings, or the rats themselves are just over 1/2" long. You will love these!! Cute any day, real cute for the year of the Chinese New Year of the Rat. The earrings are far cuter then this photo makes them look. Forgive me, I have not mastered the art of photography.

Each of these items, as always, are new and never used or worn nor been around other animals. They were handcrafted by me in our nonsmoking home.
