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.

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.

How Do I Enter A Photo?
I can't submit this photo for you from my account, but I think it is pretty easy for you to do. First, just register at this site. See Menu. You will need to pick a username and a password, and enter your name and email address. Then you will get an email at that email address that has a link to verify your email address was entered correctly (stops anonymous posting of emails).

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".

CONGRATS TO KATHY! OUR AUGUST 2010 WINNER!

For the TIGER IN YOUR RATTIES
She wins this cute little set of two outfits. A TIGER PRINT RATTIE COAT and a TIGER PRINT RATTIE DRESS! The little coat is lined in orange polar fleece and has velcro to hold it onto the rattie. The little dress has an orange polar fleece top with a little rattie sized black bow and a tiger print skirt.

PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS!!

AGILITY OPEN TUNNEL IN PUMPKIN PRINT this is lined with orange fleece and the pumpkin print is "upcycled". Upcycled is when an item is made from another. This pumpkin print used to be a shirt. You can use this Tunnel as a training tool, an Open Tunnel for your agility set or let your ratties just enjoy this Tunnel in their cage. However, if you are training for agility, do not leave a tunnel for them to sleep in inside their cage....tunnels will become a bed to them rather then something to go through.

This little PUMPKIN PRINT DRESS is adorable! It is made with polar fleece and has black lace on the pumpkin print skirt and a black bow.

The PUMPKIN PRINT RATTIE COAT is lined in polar fleece and your rattie will look so very cute in it!

This long HAND CROCHETED RATTIE SCARF with not only keep your neck warm but will also make the statement of how much you love your ratties. This one is made with fun fall light colored orange, melon colored really, with a cute little silver/gray rattie face with black bead eyes and cute stand out whiskers. The tail matches the face on the other end. Think how cute you will look going out and going to Thanksgiving meals in this cute, fun and functional scarf. All hand crafted in our non smoking, NW SD home.

You will also receive these cute little PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER AND HIS WIFE'S OUTFITS. Each is made with a Pumpkin Print fabric and Orange Polar Fleece. Notice the cute little spoon on each costume. Peter's has a little hat with an adjustable elastic chin band that holds the hat on the rattie's head.

These little costumes are an all time favorite with my customers! Your ratties will be adorable in this Santa and Mrs. Santa outfit set. The Deluxe Santa Costume even has a little ringing gold tone bell on the top of the Santa Hat!

I have not only the red and white santa type suits for sale for ratties in our on line store, but also other colors. Come have a look.

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.
