Anyone know of a good reputable rat breeder in central Illinois?

[Powerspythons]

I'm looking to start a rat breeding colony to support my herps and it was recommended that I get my starters from a breeder so I'm looking for one. Any good ones in Central Illinois near the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign campus??

Thanks!

I have a 5 tub rack, fully stocked with breeders and feeders, with room for about two more tubs with a bag of bedding and a 20lb bag of food that I want to trade for a ball python morph. I am in the Joliet area.

If you're looking for a good breeder, ask around on feeder friendly rat forums.

Breeders with stock that isn't good for show, might sell them to you for breeders as long as you take good care of them.

I'm also trying to gather information that would help me establish a feeder colony, can you recommend such a board where we would be able to look for a breeder? Thanks!
