This site shows all ratties who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

Frodo That is me! I was the first rattie my mom ever held in her arms. It was by accident. Mom's neighbor had my sister. After one look at her my mom was in love with us ratties. Two days later I came home..Boy, I got spoiled with yummies and toys . Most of all, I loved to stay in mom's sleeve. There I felt warm and cozy. My hobby was to make 'see through' holes in T-shirts. I did not stay alone for long. Lucky came to live with us. Pity! We two could not get along well. Maybe Lucky was too old for me. Little time after, Snoopy popped in. He was the lucky guy. He got a real girl to share his cage. Imagine.....a real girl. I know that I will live forever in the hearts of the people who knew me.

Lucky Was a real sunshine. He was so sweet and loving. He grew up in a glass container at the pet shop. He loved humans. He could stay all evening on a persons lap. He used to gnaw video boxes and everything he could put his teeth in it. Lucky was the kind of rattie who did turn rattie haters into rattie lovers. There was never again a rattie so kind and gentle like Lucky was.

Snoopy When Snoopy was two years old, Vivi, a female came to live with him. Breeders said that he was too old to become a father. After two month Snoopy became a proud father of 14 babies. He lived with his 6 gorgeous sons in the rattie temple. Snoopy was a ' second hand' rattie when he came to live with the rattie clan. It did not take him long to feel at home. He loved to go his own way. He was very sweet with his babies. When the girls still were little they all played with dad and ate his food. He didn't mind. Check his family page

Droopy That was sad! Droopy had to lie in a very small glass container in which he could not stand up. The container was sealed with tape. I took him home fast and gave him a big cage. Poor guy. Because he was not able to stand, the legs on one side couldn't develop properly and he couldn't stand straight. The disvormed legs did develop and he walked and played like a normal rattie.. He was a darling rattie boy. I am so glad I took an unusual route home and found him.

Snufy Snuf Snufy was badly hurt when I took him home. He also had a parasite and needed many baths. That was not easy because he did not want to be touched. It took him quite a long time to get used to hands. He showed his love in his own way. Great little rattie guy....he was.

Jacky Jacky came to the clan because he needed always a bath to remove his skin parasites. He was a quiet, lovely guy. Flash was his companion. It went well for about a year. After that they had big fights all the time. Finally Jacky stayed alone, which he liked.

Flash A wonderful little Albino guy. He was a little cuttie. He died very young of brain damage.

Peppinos These were four adorable brothers! They needed medical care all their lives. Nevertheless, they had a full happy life.

Spotje If there are Angels walking around on this Earth then Spotje must have been one of them. In his little heart was enough room to love ratties and humans. With his sweet loving manners he conquered many hearts. He was one out of thousands.

Vlekje Vlekje was a real free range rattie guy. Always exploring the whole house. He loved to dig in garbage bags for yummies. He was a loving companion to Ratito and Spotje. We all miss him.

Scratchy Scratchy was the most gentle rattie guy .He loved humans and was never afraid to climb up trousers or legs no matter to whom they belonged. Poor sweet guy had to go far to soon. His brother Itchy was missing him . So did we.

Ratito Wonderful big muscled rattie guy! He was THE Arnold Schwarzenegger among ratties! Nobody wanted him because he was born with one eye only. What a gentle loving rattie guy he was. Always in the same good spirit. He must have many dear friends at the Rainbow Bridge.

Foxy Foxy was a very sick baby at the pet shop. I took him home and tried everything to save his little life. Nothing helped. My sweet baby only got ten weeks old. R.I.P. adorable baby guy

Dusty Dusty was a very special rattie guy. He hated feet and bit in it the moment he got a chance. He did not liked to be touched. Nevertheless....I loved this rattie guy very much

Guusje Guusje got dumped because the children wanted to have two Ferrets......He was a loving three year old rattie guy

Itchy Itchy was Scratchy's brother. Both came from a pet shop. Nobody wanted to have him because of the bent in his tail. He was a sweet loving rattie guy.

Ducky Ducky was one of the five brothers which had to be euthanized if they didn't get a place in the rattie clan. The adorable rattie guy wanted to join his mom at the Rainbow Bridge far to soon.

Nero Sweet adorable Nero. Everybody who did hold him had to love him. Wonderful rattie ambassador! Not even the many ugly abscesses changed his loving nature.

Buddy My wonderful big licky guy joint his girl Perdita. A woman came along with both ratties in her handbag. They needed a home.....Perdita needed an operation to remove her cancer. Buddy did not want a new partner after Perdita had gone. See Perdita's web page

Jerry Poor rattie guy looked bad when he first joined the clan. His back was one open wound and he smelled really bad. He did not accept any other rattie guy or humans. The only solution was to get ride of some masculine parts to avoid a life long loneliness. He lived with his five girls happy and healthy.

Brutus Awesome rattie guy!After a lonely time at the pet shop he enjoyed his life with Itchy and Scratchy. He had a very special character. I miss you my rattie !

Xar My poor baby! You could not live without your brother Haplo and followed him to the Rainbow Bridge. You leave a big emptiness behind. I hope there are plenty chicken legs around for the time you wait for us. I love you my gentle rattie boy

Leo Big wonderful Leo. He got dumped in the middle of a cold December night. He hated to be touched. Other ratties were enemies. People suggested to get * ride * of him. No way!

This rattie guy showed once again that with patience and love a biter can turn into a loving rattie.You be missed, handsome Lion Rattie.

Sunny No rattie guy had to undergo so many things like Sunny. First he got mites and later lots of troubles with an abscess. Nevertheless..he stayed the loving rattie ray he was from the beginning.

She lived with her eight daughters in the rattie temple. She was the first girl in my clan. She loved to hide behind furniture where she could not get caught. She was a loving, gentle, beautiful rattie mom. Please check Vivi's family with this link

Jokey Jokey was a very beautiful rattie girl. People liked her for her color. I was baby-sitting her and Mousie for some weeks . Both were sick. Finally Jokey and Mousie stayed with me for good. Jokey liked to go her own way. She liked hugs and kisses as long it did not take too long. My little girl lost her battle against myco when she was 19 months old.

Maggie Maggie was a very special rattie girl. She was sweet, loving and a wonderful mother to Dixie. She had to undergo surgery but didn't survive the anesthetics. I'm still thinking about my girl everyday. She loved rattie snacks and was great company to her 'cage mates '. All the ratties will love her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Dixie Dixie had to leave this earth far too early. My lovely girl was what you could call a loner. Nevertheless she was a sweet loving rattie girl. Her tilted ears were very special and cute. She enjoyed to live with Jerry and the girls.

Bonnie It took Bonnie a long time to forget the terrible time she had before she became a companion to Flockje. We had a great time together although she didn't liked to be touched too much. I hope she found the happiness in the clan she had to miss for quit a while.

Flockje There aren't many rattie girls like Flockje was. She was full of life despite her blindness. Always exploring the house and showing her roommate Bonnie the great spots. I miss my kind loving rattie.

Dad Fred Fred, Pippi, Felientje and Natascha were a little family. Fred loved to be free range. Something he could not have with his first mom. They joined the clan. Fred had a head tilt and a bad case of myco. He was very gentle.

Rattie mom Pippi Adorable Pippi was the sister of Fred. She too was very sick and followed Fred, leaving her two daughters behind. She was not only beautiful but a sweetheart as well.

Daughter Felientje As soon the hair grow back on Felientje's head Natascha had to groom her thoroughly. She had the same bad myco as mom and dad.
