Well, after spending time at Becky's this weekend, my family fell in love with rats. Who knew they were such brilliant little characters??

Becky has advised me not to purchase from a pet store. One girl in Ft. Worth (a long way from me) has some good ones, but she sleeps days, so it might be really hard to get instant gratification that way. Becky will also have some in a couple of months, but I *really* would like to get one now as well!

So does anyone in my area know of someone with good, quality rats? I want one strictly as a pet. It might also help with my mouse breeding project, if we have a rodent we like to play with we will quit pestering the mice and let them get on with the breeding! haha
