2012 has started with a website move and redesign for Hawthorn rats – to a blog format that should be easier and quicker to update. It’s January, and it’s time to start making plans for the coming year.
The first plans we have for this year are to move along with our silver agoutis – this is my absolute favourite variety, a bright and striking combination of near black on a white and grey background, completed with cranberry red eyes. Hawthorn Precious Metal and Hawthorn Erasmus will hopefully give me a litter in February of this year. Precious is the best coloured silver I have bred so far, and she knows she’s special – she’s an outgoing and social girl, who is a real favourite round here with visitors. Erasmus was originally reserved to go to Ratoon rattery when he was a baby, but I just couldn’t let him go, and thankfully Lizzi agreed on him staying here. He’s a big, solid boy with the gentle intelligence of his mother, Origami. Hopefully there’ll be news on kittens from this pair to post soon.

Hi Toyah
I would like to send you some photo’s of my martens. Is there anyway you could send me your email address? I can’t find it. Maybe that’s how you want it
It’s that i have some questions. I have mated a mink with a mink that came from marten. And now a brother and sister are mink, but i thought that the other brother, who is a marten, was also mink. But he has changed in one month so much, that i would like it if you would take a look at him and tell me what you think he is.
Thank you,
Inge
The best email address to send photos to is toyah – AT – hawthorn.org.uk
