Rodent Country

Rodent Country is a rat breeder in Pembroke, KY, in Pulaski County and the Cumberland Plateau near Lexington. The breeder has many years of experience caring for small mammals, maintaining clean, well-ventilated enclosures and providing diets tailored to rat nutrition. Each rat receives routine health screenings with a veterinarian experienced in rodent care, and records are kept for every individual.

Caroline Adam focuses on gentle handling and structured enrichment activities that encourage natural curiosity and calm temperaments. Each litter is socialized from the first weeks of life and housed in compatible groups to promote healthy interactions and prevent stress-related behaviors. Housing includes chew-proof hides, climbing structures, tubes, and burrow-like nesting areas, with supervised out-of-cage time in secure play spaces.

Longtime adopters appreciate clear, patient guidance on proper integration into home environments and ongoing support as rats settle in. The approach blends practical care with an educational ethos, reflecting a background in teaching animal behavior and small-pet husbandry.
