The contents of this page for Rattie Photo Contest should always be under construction. We are still adding prize items as they are designed and made up. We will also add the Monthly Winner's Photo each time a Contest ends. Please submit your photos for the next months contest now. Please notice that we are continually adding prizes.

Anyone from anywhere in the world may enter our photo contest. AS LONG AS THE READ THE RULES FIRST AND FOLLOW THEM.

This is a "just for jun" photo contest with great first place prizes each month. It will be judged only by folks that visit this website to vote. Anyone and everyone may vote once a day. So, get the word out to all your rattie friends and to your families. Tell them to come vote once daily. A vote can only be submitted once in a 24 hour time period from any ip address.

The contest runs from the first of each month til the last day of the month at midnight, computer time....that's 12:00 midnight where our computer sever is located. We have been know to switch servers, so vote early to be safe.

Photos of ratties only. Please, no other pets or people in the photos. Just ratties. A close up of a rattie on someone is OK, just not of the person with the rattie. Photos with anything living (other then plants) will not be eligible for the contest.

One photo per person per month. Everyone is welcome to participate in the contest each month of the year if they like.

Please only use your photo once at The Agile Rat. You may send in a different shot of the same rattie, but not the same photo more then once.

You must register to participate at The Agile Rat. By registering we will have your snail mail address to mail you your prize at the end of the photo contest. If we do not have your full name and snail mail address we will not be able to mail you your prizes if you win. We do not contact you for further information upon winning. We do not sell or give this list to anyone. We use this registration for sales and so that our members can upload their photos to the site. Later, when new products become available I may/will also email you to let you be one of the first to see what is new.

Photos must be submitted to the site the month prior to the contest month. In other words, if you have a photo for February it must be to us by January 31 at 8 pm. Late photos will get posted for the following/next month.

Sorry, once the month of the contest starts all photos received after the last day of that month will go into the following months contest.

If it ever comes to a last word or a decision made on these contests. The Marna's Menagerie team will have that authority. For instance, if there were what appears in percentage as a tie (but actual votes are different amounts), if prizes needed to be changed for some unknown reason, if a person that won did so dishonestly and such.

Once you have done that, you can click on My Photo Album and upload the picture. When you upload the picture, a line of text will show beneath the photo that basically says "You have not entered a photo to the coming photo contest. Click here to enter this one!". Once you click that, you are "in".

Something a Bit Different!

We have been making Christmas Outfits and Santa Suits for Ratties for several years. We make them Fancy and Basic and much like THIS one, DELUXE! That's right, a DELUXE SANTA SUIT WITH MATCHING HAT FOR RATTIE!.This cute little Red Fleece Santa Suit has Silver (colored) Trim and Itty Bitty Buttons sewn onto it. It comes with the Traditional Santa Hat that has elastic that is adjustable to fit the ratties head. Ratties are Adorable Wearing these little Santa Suits!

Our Rattie Sweaters are one of our Most Popular Items Sold! If you go to our Shopping Page and look at our Rat Sweaters there, I have the Story of how the Rattie Granny Square Sweater came to be....as well as photos of our Rats and Dogs wearing the Granny Square Sweaters I made for them.

I love these colors in this Rattie Granny Square Sweater with Matching Hat! I have the same color sweaters for both my Ratties and my Guinea Pigs! The colors are so Bright and Warm!

This Sweater will fit most Ratties. Our Sweaters are our most adjustable outfit we make for Ratties. It closes with a band under the belly of the Rat with a Button that will set anywhere within the Sweater on the side. The Matching Hat stays on the Rattie's Head with elastic. If you have a darker Rat, you can use a permanent marker to color the white elastic, just make sure the ink is dry before putting the hat onto the Rat's head.

Do NOT, NEVER, leave an outfit on an animal without supervision. Many people want these sweaters for Hairless Rats, to leave it on them all winter. The rat will take it off and chew it. The rat also might get tangled in the yarn if the rat was left unattended wearing the Sweater.

THERE WILL BE MORE PRIZES COMING. WE ADD PRIZES TO THIS PAGE OFTEN, MANY TIMES LATE IN THE MONTH THAT IS CURRENTLY RUNNING. ADDING PRIZES IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!

We hope you like our monthly prizes. Most months there will be at least two prizes for each first place winner. All items were designed and made by me....I make all these same type items first for my own ratties.

Prizes may be added to, but will not be subtracted from, any month at any time. Check back often to see what is being offered each month for our Fancy Pet Rat Photo Contest.

Prizes are described and photo is shown above for each month. What you see is what you get Sorry, No substitutes, No color change, No different sizes.

Rattie Clothes, Costumes and Outfits do come in sizes. The prizes are made up to fit the average sized rattie. All outfits are made for the contest (you will find some of the same outfits for sale on our Rat Items For Sale page) they are new and have never been worn or tried on by any other pet rat.

Prizes will be shipped about a week after the contest closes. We are not rural...we are way further out then that. Sometimes, not too often, the weather does not allow us to get out across the 6.4 miles of dirt Road between us and the Roadway. Should that happen, your prize *will* go out as soon as possible after the contest closes.

All prizes are new and never used. They are handmade in our non-smoking home. No ratties have ever worn, slept on or been around your item.

If you see a prize you would like to own, but did not win one, check our Rat Items For Sale page. Most, if not all of the items we award for prizes are also for sale in our on line shop. If you see something you would like to have among our prizes but do not see it on our sales page, please send an email and ask We do ship our products all over the world.
