o A5 (210mm X 148.5mm) Great for 1 – 4 pets.

o A4 (210mm X 297mm) Great for 1 – 6 pets.

o If you’re looking to have a portrait with more pets or a different size to those available please get in touch and we can discuss your needs.



• Portraits are created from photos/descriptions of your rats to make them extra special.



• Pet portraits are painted on 300gsm professional quality watercolour paper using a mixture of ink, watercolour and coloured pencil.



• Pet portraits are custom made to your ratties and are one of a kind. Depending on the size of the portrait and the number of rats they can take up to three weeks to create.



• Once you have placed an order for your rat portrait please send me some good photos (or as good as you can get, we all know how twitchy and speedy rats can be!) of your chosen rats via Etsy conversations or email me at sillybadgerdesigns[!at]outlook.com with a little description of your rats and any ideas you may have e.g. poses, favourite treats etc. I will then be in contact with you to discuss the portrait and start work on it.



• I will be in touch with updates throughout the process of creating your portrait to make sure you are happy with it at all stages and so you can make any changes/additions.



• If you’d prefer to discuss the portrait before you make your order please just get in touch and we can discuss your ideas.



• Portraits are one of a kind, original paintings. Every portrait is individual. You will get the original copy yourself and it will not be reproduced for the public.



• Once the portrait is complete and you are happy with it, it will be packaged with its own protective sleeve and packaged in a reinforced envelope before being sent to you.



Portraits are made using photos of your rats so remember to send me photos after making your order via Etsy conversations or email me at sillybadgerdesigns[!at]outlook.com. Include any ideas you may have regarding poses and favourite treats and whether you wish to include their names and I’ll get back to you to discuss your portrait and start creating it.

It’s okay if you don’t have any ideas, I’m happy to come up with the design but if you have any specific ideas regarding the portrait I’m happy to work with you to create your special portrait.



Portraits are made to order which means depending on the individual portrait and communication they can take up to 3 weeks to be completed and dispatched. Please take this in to consideration before ordering especially if you’re ordering for a specific date. I recommend also looking at the shipping estimates if this is the case so you will know if it will arrive in time.



If you would prefer something similar to what I have listed (hamsters or other small pets) Please feel free to message me about a custom order and we can discuss any ideas you have! Or go here for general pet portraits –
