Chicago Exotic Pets & Rattery

Chicago Exotic Pets & Rattery, rat, Arlington Heights, IL, serves Cook County and the Chicago area near Chicago. It draws on a growing track record of responsible pairings and follows guidelines from rodent care organizations, with regular veterinary checkups for all adult rats.

The owners house rats in spacious, climate-controlled enclosures with climbing platforms and nesting areas, and they schedule daily handling sessions to encourage calm, inquisitive temperaments in both first-time and experienced keepers. Litters are weaned around four weeks and introduced to a balanced diet of fresh produce alongside premium rat blocks to support healthy growth. Early handling and gentle socialization practices begin in the first week to help pups adjust smoothly to home environments.

They offer ongoing guidance on enrichment and habitat setup, and many past customers note the animals’ gentle nature and adaptability. Chicago Exotic Pets & Rattery also provides reference contacts for veterinarians familiar with exotic rodent care to support new owners beyond the sales process.
