A Rat's Tail is a New Zealand registered rattery on Pukaki Road, Māngere, Auckland. It focuses on ethical adoption of rats with good health and temperament, and on educating new and experienced rat owners. It also sells rat food, accessories and toys online.
Boarding is offered in individual cages for groups of up to four rats. The cages are deep-cleaned and set up for each group, with hiding spaces, enrichment and kiln-dried pine lining. Rats are fed a premium mix with treats, or a special diet if requested. The rats recently moved to a dedicated room with ventilation, a purifier and a dehumidifier running all the time. The owner, who is studying vet nursing and works at an exotic clinic, can give medical care and special care for rats on medication. Previous adopters get a boarding discount, and long-stay discounts are available. Pricing is given on request. Our pick in Māngere for rat adoption and boarding with vet care.
