If you do not see the humor in this, then please just don't submit a photo or buy the products. It is just for fun. Here's a little poem I wrote to go with the "Ha Ha Snakey Line"
HaHa Snakeys

I once was meant to be food,
For a slimy and slippery brood.
As I awaited the fate,
You came, and not a minute too late.
Now I live in your house,
Sometimes inside your blouse
I also live in your heart
Cause you gave me a new and fresh start
I dream of your love
And thank God up above
you came on that day
and took me away.

So now in the comfort of your warm and nice home,
I cuddle in snake skin as you talk on the phone.
HaHa Snakey, you did not get me,
but your snake skin now gives comfort you see.

HaHa Snakeys, You did not get me!!!

And for the ratties....these cute little RATTIE SWEATERS also hand crocheted, stitch by stitch, in Forest Green and Black. I designed and hand crafted both styles after dog sweaters I make my own dogs. The first is traditional, the second was kind of a joke that worked out well. I was making my dog, Joy, a Granny Square Sweater and thought....why not make one for Nineveh. After I did and everyone saw it, they loved it. Both types of sweaters will fit most rattie sizes. They have an adjustable waist band that buttons shut.

AN AGILE RAT TRADITION! Our little Santa Suits were one or was one of the very first outfits I ever created. All of our outfits, costumes and clothes are created here from idea, to pattern, to rat wearable! The Santa and Mrs. Santa outfits have been a huge success and a Photo Contest Tradition.

I first made this little bitty one about 12 years ago for Beanie Babies. I have been working on this in my head for awhile. Making them exactly as I had for the Beanie Babies or even the dogs would NOT work for a rattie to actually wear. So here it is a little Rattie Gamblers BackPack! that will actually stay on your rattie and be comfortable for it to wear. The dice are sewn on, the coin (one per order) tucks into the pocket. The coin can double as a toy and trick prop for your rattie.

Penguin Print Polar Fleece Rattie Caddy. This is a fun item to keep you and the ratties warm and safe. It goes around your neck by slipping the elastic ends over your head. Once it is in place, add up to two or three ratties (this is our small sized Rat Caddy). The seams are well sewed with double stitching where needed. I use Rattie Caddies for my ratties and they love it. The Rat Caddy is machine washable and will either dry hung or in the machine.

Also a cute little Closed Tunnel with a Polar Bear and Penguin print. Wheather you use this for an Rattie Agility Piece of just let the ratties play with it in their cages, the rats will take to it right away.

I have also included a couple of Penguin Print outfits that will fit average sized ratties...and they will be so cute in them!! Our outfits are made here by me and are new, never have been worn and ready for your ratties to have fun in them. Get the camera ready to get a few good photos of your rattie's wearing them and re-enter into our photo contest.

These items are washable. I recommend that you hand them to dry. I usually wash my rattie items with a load of towel on cold or warm. I do hang my rattie items to dry.

CONGRATS TO PAM AND HER SWEET RATTIE, OUR NOVEMBER CONTEST WINNER!!
A Christmas Print Fabric Hammock for your pet rats to sleep in or play on.

These are made the way I like them....to last. Most areas of the Hammock are double sewed for strength, the ties are what I called "nailed" on. I sew the tie area several times for safety. You may wash and dry this item in the machines, you can also hand wash it and hang it to dry.

For our Year of the Rat item this month, a cute furry Red and White Christmas Stocking with a Blue Oriental Print Rattie. The rattie has a black bead eye.

Also offered is this cute little hand painted Rattie/Mouse Christmas Ornament. It is about 3" tall and hangs from a red ribbon with a tiny bow. I call this one "Silent Night".

We are also sending the winner this cute little Santa Suit with a matching hat. The coat stays on the rattie with velco and the hat stays on the rattie's head with elastic.

Our items are made first for our own ratties. So anything you win or buy from Marna's Menagerie has been rat tested with their own items first.
Your items are new and never used or been around an animal.

When I started making my outfits for the ratties everyone told me
I should make and sell them....and the other items I make up for the small animals....I have been making and selling my items for many years now. We have many happy and repeat customers.

CONGRATS TO Eimanne our October 2008 WINNER!!

October 2008
The first item we will be giving for the
October Photo Contest is a Fall Print double fleece
Hammock I wish the photo was better.
These items are really cute.

This Hammock is good grade polar
fleece on each side. It is made to last
and ratties love hammocks.

The next item for the first place winner to receive this month is a really cute Rat Sweater. Boy, these are hard to photograph. They are much cuter then what is shown in the photo.

This one is a warm colored verigated worsted weight yarn with a light brown trim. Really cute to where for the upcoming Holidays or any day of the year. Be the envy of all the other ratties!!

The sweaters are made to fit most ratties in our non smoking home. It might need to be adjusted to fit your rattie just right. You can easily make adjustments or move the button that closes the sweater with a needle and thread.

The third item is a Fall Print Cornucopia. These are fun and warm for ratties to play and sleep in. Most rats will also take food into them and sneak eat there too.

Each of these items are hand made by our own designs and patterns in our nonsmoking home. No animals have been around these items. The items come to you and yours new and never used.

For our Year of the Rat item for this month....a Year of the Rat Baby Bib. This cute Year of the Rat baby bib is good sized (approx 11" x 12") and made to absorb the food that is spilled from that child's meal. I used to make all my own children's bibs, so I know what needs to be done. LOL I added a separate photo so that you would be able to see the prizes without squinting to look. I hope you have as much fun with them as I have making them up.

CONGRATS TO BRIANA our September 2008 WINNER!!
Fun little Ghost/Black Cat Hammock for your rattie's cage. The Hammock measures X" x X". One or more of your ratties will love to sleep, play and eat on this cotton type fabric print Hanging Hammock.

I make my Hammocks to last. Most seams are double stitched and the ties are what I call "nailed" on. I sew them going back over the ties several times for strength.

The Hammock is machine or hand washable. I wash my rattie items with a load of towels on cold or warm. I hang our clothes to dry. This item may be machine dried (it may shrink just a bit after drying by machine).

ALSO ADDED TO THIS MONTHS HAMMOCK: Two Rattie Outfits. The first is a Ghost Print Rattie Coat It is made with a ghost print fabric over good grade black Polar Fleece Rattie Coat. The waist size on the Rattie Coat is x and it is x" long from behind the neck to the tail. It closes under the rattie's belly with a small piece of black velcro.

The second outfit is a cute little Black Cat Rattie Dress. The front of the dress is white with a Black Cat cut out glued on. The skirt is gathered and has white outlines of black cats on it with a white lace trim. The waist size on this outfit is x" and it closes with velcro. The length between from behind the back of neck the back toward the tail is x". Really cute outfit for any day
of the year..."Here kitty, kitty." <grin>

This month, in honor of Year of the Rat, I have added a silk like fabric with an Oriental look Rat Bed for your Rattie to sleep and play on. It is a silver or gray print and so shiny the photo is not showing just how cute this Year of the Rat Rat Bed is.

What is back and white and has red all over?
A cute little zebra print dress with lace bow in red. It even has Zebra Ears for fun!!

The dress is made of good grade polar fleece with a zebra print cotton like fabric skirt. Any doe would have a good time wearing this outfit.

You own bucks you say? Remember my saying "Rats have a way of multiplying even if you do not breed." You never know when you will walk into a pet store and bring home a new pet with that food you went in for. Or if a friend will gift you with another rattie, or however they come....they do come. Once a rat lover always a rat lover.

The outfits are made to fit an average sized rattie. The waist measurement is X" and the length of the outfit from behind the neck toward the tail is X". The neck opening of the outfit may seem tight at first...it needs to be snug or the rattie will also put it's foot through the hole.

The Ears have adjustable elastic that you can tighten or loosen depending on your ratties head/neck size.

Year of the Rat!! Yep, a Year of the Rat Dress complete with a cute little bow and Year of the Rat Gold Toned Charm. The dress stays together with velcro under the waist of the outfit.

These items are washable. I recommend that you hand them to dry. I usually wash my rattie items with a load of towel on cold or warm. I do hang my rattie items to dry.

This is a fun and functional item. The rattie silhouette is hand sewn onto this FANNY PACK or BELLY BAG. This hand free tote will show off your love of ratties before you even mention them. To see more details of this bag see our sales page for more details. The bag is red and black and the rattie cut out is rainbow tye dye polar fleece. It will fit a very large waist belt and a quick release plastic buckle.

Here's a way to show off your love of ratties and open conversation about what great pets they make. It is a 17 1/2" White/Black/Brick E Bead Necklace with a drop charm...gold toned rat. It has several letter beads that read "I (heart) RATS".

These are the items that will go out to Julie. I asked Julie if she would like to have a belly bag or a brand new item to our sales site, the witches hat...she chose the hat.

If you have never introduced your ratties to a Ratty Caddy they are missing out on great fun.

I designed and made these fun items up because my ratties liked to sleep and play in the hanging hood on the back of a sweatshirt so much. They also like to get between my shirt collar and my neck. So the idea was born.

Raddy Caddies are hand or machine washable. I hang mine to dry.

Also we have a cute little Pirate Costume complete with tri-folded Hat with a Skull on it. This outfit will fit an averaged sized rattie and be fun for all to see!!

As I had said I have been adding items to each months Prizes in honor of YEAR OF THE RAT, so this month I have added a Blue Oriental Print My Rat Stuffed Rattie. I liked this so much I made myself a couple....OK, a few. LOL The body is approx 4" long (so is the tail) and it is approx 2 1/2" tall. Anyway, we will call it a Year of the Rat Ship Rat since this months theme is kinda "water".

Just added, keeping with the "water theme" is a pair of cute little RATS & PEARLS Earrings!! How is your since of humor? Dress up with your RATS & PEARLS earrings and see if people notice.

These are gold toned approx 1/2" wide rattie earrings with three pearlette type beads hanging behind them on a gold toned fish hook type earring wires. They are cute and fun and sure to bring smiles, if not smiles and laughs.
