A proper gallery of my breeding bucks and their cagemates will be here soon. Until then, here are links to a photo of each, and a brief description. More photos of everyone can be found on our Facebook page, which can be accessed through these links.

Valhalla Nanook (Ivory) Nanook has really been the star of the show since he arrived here, looking and acting like a licky, cuddly polar bear. He has fathered two litters for me so far, and may sire more in the future. His name is Inuit for 'white bear'.
Hellstorm Burning Hunk of Love (Cinnamon Badger) Bunker is a gorgeous buck and always gets appreciative noises out of people who meet him! He fathered my first Badger litter.
Coastboat Skulduggery (Silvered Black) Duggie only improves on his father's temperament, which I didn't think was possible so soon, and is just a handsome, gentlemanly sweetheart of a buck. He fathered a litter in February 2010 with Tenebrae Talini, and is one of my favourite rats.
Coastboat Hey Porter (Black Hooded) Porter was quite a hectic kitten, and I worried a lot when he was small that he would never calm down, but he's a squish now and I use him as a PR rat without fear nowadays! He loves to wrestle, and will spend hours chasing and pouncing on hands. He is named after a Johnny Cash song.
Coastboat Hicks (Lilac Badger) We were expecting Hicks to be Cinnamon, and I'm still not entirely sure he's Lilac, but he is adorable. He's a little bit shyer than his brother Hudson, but very sweet. He's named after a character from the film Aliens.
Coastboat Hudson (Black Badger) Hudson is a very bouncy, friendly boy, and will hopefully develop into a lovely stud buck. He's also named after a character from the film Aliens.
Milo Puck (Black Spotted Downunder) Puck's here to help me start over with our Downunder plans, and he has wonderful spotty markings, despite being completely unshowable! He was a little shy at first but has settled in and is living happily with my younger bucks now. He's named after a fairy in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Coastboat Bartholomew Roberts (Black) Bart is one of Bonnie's sons; I was going to keep his brother, but Bart turned out to be the better-looking and very licky to boot, so he has stayed instead. He fathered a litter in April 2010 with Coastboat Charlotte De Berry. He's named after a pirate of the same name.
Caboose (Russian Blue) Caboose is from an accidental litter that we fostered; I just fell in love with him, so he and his brother (below) have stayed.
Griff (Russian Dove Agouti) See above; Griff has always sat quietly in the arms of anyone holding him and been a really sweet boy, so I allowed myself a bit of Christmas GMR and kept him, too.
Coastboat Buffer (Ivory) Buffer is one of Duggie's sons, and has all the characteristics that make his father so wonderful - he is licky, confident and very handsome.
Coastboat Ahoy! (Silvered Black) I can't say enough good things about Ahoy - he is my ideal pet buck, soppy, licky, cuddly and squishy, even more so than his father Duggie.
Coastboat Wintrow (Black Berkshire) Wintrow is still very young but is very outgoing for his age. He's named after a character from Robin Hobb's Liveship trilogy.
