The Cheerio Gang (Gang)

The Cheerio Gang (Gang) breeds rats in Prestonsburg, KY, serving eastern Kentucky near Lexington. They have been committed to ethical breeding for several years, maintaining active memberships in the American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association and local rodent fancier organizations. Health screening covers regular veterinary exams, genetic monitoring for common rat conditions, and transparent recordkeeping.

Rats are raised on a family-run acreage in modular, climate-controlled enclosures with easy-clean trays, safe burrowing substrates, and natural wood ledges. Daily supervised out-of-cage play sessions, social grouping, and early handling encourage gentle temperaments and confident pups. Diets combine quality rodent blocks with fresh fruits and vegetables, supplemented by occasional sunflower seeds or probiotic treats.

Routine behavioral assessments and post-adoption support help ensure each litter adapts well to home environments. Several local pet owners note the rats’ curious nature, calm demeanor, and ease of training.
