At StormHaven Rattery, we are endlessly grateful for the incredible adopters who choose to welcome our rats into their homes. Every adoption represents more than just placing a baby—it is the beginning of a lifelong commitment built on trust, compassion, and understanding. Knowing that our rats are going to homes where they are valued as family members is the greatest reward for the time, care, and dedication we put into our breeding program.
The love, patience, and effort our adopters provide does not go unnoticed. Our rats thrive because of the enriching environments, proper care, and genuine affection they receive once they leave StormHaven. From thoughtful cage setups and nutritious diets to daily interaction and enrichment, our adopters play an essential role in shaping confident, happy, and well-adjusted companions. We are truly honored to see our babies grow and flourish under such attentive care.
The reviews, updates, and messages we receive mean the world to us. They allow us to stay connected with our extended StormHaven family and reaffirm why ethical, intentional breeding matters so deeply. We are profoundly thankful to every adopter who shares their experiences, celebrates milestones, and continues to advocate for responsible rat ownership. Your commitment ensures that each StormHaven rat lives a life filled with safety, enrichment, and love—and for that, we cannot thank you enough.
All reviews shared on this page are authentic and thoughtfully collected.
I personally post and maintain each review, and they are featured here so they can be easily viewed by both current and future adopters.
Reviews will continue to be added over time as they are received.
I kindly ask adopters to share their experiences after they have had time to settle in with their new babies,
or after working closely with me over an extended period while awaiting their adoption.
This allows feedback to be meaningful, informed, and reflective of both the animals and the adoption process as a whole.
To ensure honesty and accuracy, only reviews from individuals who have adopted—or are actively adopting—from StormHaven Rattery are displayed.
This approach helps prevent false or misleading content and ensures that all shared experiences are genuine and trustworthy.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who takes the time to share their experience.

I've been working with Gail for the last 6 months to get set up for our family's first set of rats, and she has been so incredible about answering questions (probably hundreds!) and sharing advice.
It was very important to me to find a rattery with really careful and ethical practices, and I've been consistently impressed with Stormhaven. She has been so patient and committed to matching me with the right boys, despite the challenge of getting them all the way to Montana! Cannot wait to meet our beloved new family members in a just a few weeks!

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for our three girls. Even though they’re still settling, their temperament is so gentle and curious. It’s obvious they were handled thoughtfully from the start.
I appreciate how intentional you are about their health and temperament, and how much support you offer afterwards
It gave me a lot of confidence bringing them home.
They’re already becoming such a special part of our family. Thank you for the work you do and the care you put into raising them and it really shows up on the rats

I recently adopted two dumbo rats from Storm Haven Rattery, and I couldn’t be happier. They are healthy, sweet, and already so friendly and curious. You can tell they were handled with care and raised in a loving environment. The breeder was helpful, answered my questions, and made the process smooth. I highly recommend StormHaven Rattery if you’re looking for well-socialized, beautiful rats! 🐭💕

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Stormhaven Rattery and couldn’t be happier with my new babies! The owner was professional, friendly, and informative. Throughout the entire process, the owner kept in close contact and sent update photos every week. She was quick to respond to any messages and was available for questions at any time. When it was time to bring my new babies home, I was provided with detailed care instructions and even a goodie bag with food, toys, and chews! My rats are incredibly sweet and friendly, and it's clear that they were well-socialized and lovingly raised. I would absolutely recommend Stormhaven Rattery to anyone looking for healthy, happy, and well-cared-for rats!

I wanted to share a little love for the
two boys I brought home about a month ago.
They have been absolute sweethearts from day one -
friendly, gentle, and so easy to handle.
Their temperaments are everything I look for, and I can already tell they're going to make incredible studs when the time comes.
The paperwork that came with them was just as impressive.
Their lineage was clearly documented, and the genetic information was laid out beautifully.
It's obvious a lot of care and intention went into their breeding, and it really shows in both their health and their personalities.
I couldn't be happier with these boys. They've settled in perfectly, and I'm excited to see the wonderful traits they'll pass on in the future.

This was the first time I have ever bought rats from a breeder, and it has been the best experience I could possibly ask for. Stormhaven Rattery has been a delight to work with all around! From the start, I loved the thoroughness of the adoption application–you could feel the love that they have for their rats just from glancing through their website. I had plenty of questions throughout the process and never once did I feel ignored or neglected. Not only that, but all of my inquiries were answered within minutes.
I have had my boys for a week now, and they are beautiful and healthy! I appreciate the fairness of the adoption contract, as well as the fact that I am welcomed (encouraged, even) to stay in contact with Stormhaven Rattery even after the adoption process. I know my boys were well cared for and are still loved by them, so I always feel supported giving my boys the happiest and healthiest life possible.
Stormhaven Rattery has been so sweet and caring toward me and my boys, and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for their new ratty best friend!
Shirin Coleman - Las Vegas, Nevada
Stormhaven Rattery was wonderful to work with. I recently brought home two new girl rats, Cloud and Stormy, and they are absolutely amazing. They settled in very quickly, are friendly, inquisitive, and have been a joy to get to know. It’s clear they were well cared for and handled before coming home.
I’m very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend Stormhaven Rattery to anyone looking for sweet, well-socialized rats.
Jenn Sinclair/Grace Fry - Las Vegas, Nevada
I'm so glad to have bought these rats! They are so sweet and loving. They have a chill yet playful temperament. Not only are they sweet, but they are so pretty. One of the babies I received is a very even gray, while the other one is filled with various different grays. They match each other while still differing slightly. I would recommend this rattery!! The owner was very direct and easy to work with. 10/10

Our family has had a wonderful experience with StormHaven Rattery. Gail has communicated with us, guiding us through every step of the process. She checked up on us for weeks after we brought our babies home. Her ebooks and blogs have been so helpful in planning and executing their care. I highly recommend StormHaven Rattery to anyone looking to have a few rats as their new best friends.
Heather Flores - Las Vegas, Nevada
I had an awesome experience at Stormhaven Rattery.
She is very knowledgeable about her rats and is very quick to respond with any questions.
Our new babies make a wonderful addition to our family and they are very friendly and playful.
Michele Lewis - Montana
Stormhaven Rattery was everything I was hoping for; they were beyond gracious and extremely accommodating in the short amount of time I was in Las Vegas.
Even though they were truly professional down to the “T's " being crossed, I felt like I was amongst close friends that I hadn’t seen in years.
We adopted Bean and Cricket to bring home to Montana, and they were so amazing the whole ride home. They are so friendly and lovable, and I am so happy I took the chance and sent Stormhaven a message.
I am beyond pleased with the whole experience, we adopted new fur babies and made lifelong friends; what more could you ask for.
Thank you, Stormhaven 💜
