Kelty had 12 kittens on 9 August 2003, of which 11 survived. There were 2 black self, 1 mismarked black Berkshire, 2 mismarked black Irish and 6 black roan.

Kelty was a wonderful, relaxed Mum. She looked after all her babies brilliantly. I had planned to breed her again, but she is such a special rat I decided not to risk it. I kept three of her kittens, one roan buck and two does (one black self and one black roan).
