Hi! My name is Maddox, and I am the owner of Grey’s Rattery.

I remember being 15 and in highschool, wanting pet rats. A teacher of mine had pet rats she was rehoming and I fell in love. Many years later I adopted five feeder rats named after Grey's Anatomy characters. One of those feeders, Miranda Bailey, ended up being pregnant. Three weeks later we had babies! I was absolutely head over heels for these little guys.

I have always been interested in genetics, science, anatomy, and ethical dog breeding so it only made sense that I would find ethical rat breeding. From there I began my journey to establish an ethical breeding program.

My goal first and foremost is to produce happy, healthy babies. While I acknowledge feeders can make amazing pets, the lines I am creating make “amazing pet” the default. I pride myself on a constantly growing education and willingness to update my practices. As a hobby breeder, learning never ends. I have a mentor and others who I am so grateful to have assisting me with my journey. If you’re reading this, you are greatly appreciated for your time, energy, and knowledge.

A little more about me:

I own my own dog training business, No Paws Like Home. This business was my baby for the last 5 years but unfortunately my physical disability is forcing me to retire from it. I spend a lot of my free time hiking, going to coffee shops, and enjoying my family. I was born and raised in SoCal and moved to Colorado last year. I have a lot of passion around animal welfare and educating others on how to properly care and fulfill their four legged family members.

Can't wait to share the joy of owning rats with you!
