Pet Rats are fun and magic for kind hearted folks of all ages, this personal site is a celebration of joy that keeping pet rats can bring into our lives.

Every Sunday 16th May to 12th September (2004) at 12 noon at the Hochzeitshaus Terrasse in the middle of the old city, the Piper leads his Tour off. Tour lasts about 30 minutes.

80 Hamelner folk and children present the Rattenfänger story by Brothers Grimm for about the 1000th time since 1949

This was an obvious title to choose for my National Fancy Rat Society Stud name.

In the beginning I would be jokingly called a 'ratcatcher' as I stalked behind persons who had excellent pet rats on their shoulders at various Rat Club Shows. So I adopted Rattenfänger Rattery as the name of my small but increasing Ratten familie. ( now 60 +/- ) Cinnamon, Cinnamon Pearl, Mink, Pearl, Black, Blue, S.Fawn, Topaz, Champagne, Siamese, Himalayan ... lots of them are in my favourite coat = Rex

Now in November 2003, a pleasant surprise! , to learn that this could now become my official National Fancy Rat Society Stud title, my many thanks to NFRS for this Award.

Inscription 2003-04 refers to stud being awarded in April 2003

This arose from my friends Sandra and Graham Mobbs efforts. They gained Silver Championship with ' Urchin' a Cinnamon Pearl Rex buck, so I owe my success to them.

Of course we grown up big children ! all love the tale and its underlying moral. Also as keen owners of pet rats we appreciate the intelligence and worth of our ratty pals.
