eversong rattery does not conduct “formal” temperment assessments on duprasi gerbils/rats. instead, the duprasi gerbils and rats are observed in different unfamiliar environments, with foreign noises to observe how they react and how long it takes them to recover. a balanced duprasi gerbil/rat should recover from loud noises and unfamiliar environments without much hassle.

available duprasi gerbils/rats are first posted under the album on Facebooked titled “seeking hammocks.” Priority goes to those on the waitlist and wait time is 3-5 months at any given time. reservations are typically done on the weekends, when litters reach 6-8 weeks of age, each approved applicant is emailed with a specific two hour window to reserve their chosen duprasi gerbils/rats. left over duprasi gerbils and rats are then posted to the website and available to any one wishing to become part of the eversong family, as long as they have an approved application.
