Where to get rats when just starting?

I agree with that being the best way.

Ha, someone else that talks off their clients ears :P

Helping with care and behavioral issues for customers is part of my service, I always tell people to write or call me if they have any concerns.

I will gladly listen if you are ever at a show in MD or PA. Not sure about VA shows. Still looking around at where shows are and when.

There will be a small animal show in MD early next year. :)
There are two rodent shows in PA yearly as well.
