    Well I didn't find any in Iowa/Minnesota, but I did find some in Wisconsin. So I will be going and picking them up monday and getting 10 trios for me to use for breeding.

    Re: Looking for African Soft Fur Rats in Iowa/Minnesota!!!

    Well my main reason for getting them is for a couple girls I have that that came from someone as "great eaters". The one female eats one prey item every other week during a couple months in the summer. She is a very light colored interesting girl, but she need to eat regularly and gain some weight.

    Another reason for getting these is they don't ever out grow the size of a good meal for a ball python. Unlike my large rats that have a small window of usefulness and then they are to big to feed. I also have a couple of mice feeders that I would like to convert to these instead.

    I still plan on having mice and regular rats for feeding, but plan to experiment with the soft furs some.

    Bill,


    Once you get those breeding colonies established let me know if you'll have any extras that you'd part with. It's been a heck of a time trying to find them around here, I'd willingly drive down to buy a few off you and see the collection. LMK
