Re: rat shortage? seriously.
The place I get mine at breed their own. Haven't heard anything like that.
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
They probably got their feeders through Big Cheese. If that's the case then yup, it's true.

wow, that sucks! Hope they're able to get the company back up and running eventually.
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
that does suck. anybody know dallas / north dallas area shops who breed their own? is there a list anywhere on here that i should've seen? maybe my shop'll get some born soon. what's the gestation period of rats?
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
yeah I'd love to find one around here too; petco is just not gonna be an option after awhile.
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
Maybe check craigslist to see if anyone has advertised their own feeders. I see some in my area do.
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
I hear there's a new place coming along. It's called Ratamatic. Right now they're just dealing with a few breeders and stores.
I hear they're offering top quality feeders. What they're aiming for is to have regular orders with stores and breeders for certain size rats in pre-arranged quantities.
It's sort of like knowing you've got someone caring for your individual rats.
Say you need 80 meds and 120 smalls every six weeks. What they're intending to do is have rats set aside specifically to produce that many rats just for the person who ordered them.
Apparently there is a maximum capacity to the space they have to keep rats in and once that capacity is achieved, they will not be able to take on regular customers any more.
So, keep your eyes peeled, don't miss out. You'll be sorry if you do.

I just got a load of frozen rats last week from rodent pro.. However, the 'small' rats that I paid for are really much more of a weaner size. Maybe it's just 'that time of the year'
Re: rat shortage? seriously.
I live in Anaheim Ca and our local pet store has been out of rats and mice too, they keep saying that its cause their supplier screwed up their order but now that I have heard about this I am wondering if they are lying???
