Esprit Stud & Gemini Stud Application Form

Esprit Stud share a waiting list with Gemini Stud as the majority of our rats are related and derive from the same lines; therefore we also share a joint application form. This form will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Please answer all questions as honestly as you can in order to help us identify your preferences and to determine if there are any areas of rat care and husbandry that we can help you with, before placing you on our waiting list.
