...breeding African Soft Fur Rats. I met up with Bill (Wild Bill) today and purchased a "few" trios to try my hand at these guys. I haven't had much luck with regular rats thus far, and honestly my breeder male rat has a VERY strong odor which I don't much care for.

So far I'm quite intrigued with these little guys, they are adorable, and soft far fairly handleable. I have heard ASF can be nippy, but both the males and females I picked up are very mellow.

Here are a few snapshots of mostly the boys.
