Buying Live Rats On Line??

Hey Audrey.

I'm just learning about the breeds of my rat colonies. From what I understand, I have a few blues and blue hooded, lots of black hooded, some self (one color), some beige hooded, and a few albinos (I tend to feed these out as I've found in my colonies the albinos are mean). I'd really like to get some curly coated rex for my colony but they are not easy to find.

Below are a couple of pics of some of the current pups from this morning - they were still sleeping. Let me know if you want me to bring you a trio to the FIRE show to start your colony. Hope to see you there. Take care

awwww so cute Alice...and yes I do believe we will be there...what days will you be there? I didnt know if you were selling anything there or not...we will be going on? We will be there on Sunday...Brians day off.


I want the Dumbo one's...sooo cute! I dont know if I have ever seen the one's you are talking about wanting....I'm sure anything with the word "curly" in it is to die for.

Yeah I was hoping to not get Albino's....all the feeder albino's we have had are mean to :( Although I never actually cuddled them or anything....I didnt want to get attached lol.

But yes I will be there on the 5th...see you and those rats there....pm me and let me know how much I owe you.

See you then,

~Audrey

P.S.
I'm sure Balou will be very happy knowing that Grandma Alice made his dinner lol.

Also,
Last week on feeding day we tried feeding him and he wouldnt eat it...what did he do with it? He followed it around the tub and I sware nuzzled it with his face, him and the rat kept going nose to nose and neither would bite, he loved the rat to much lol. Brian and I were a little scared to take the rat out because he never left it alone, just kept following it around...were going to try him again tomorrow.

Hey Audrey! Can't wait to see you guys again. We'll be there both days. Look for the Florida Reptile Room table.


BTW, I wasn't talking about selling these little ones to you - consider it an early Christmas gift.

Some cute blues in that litter. Just avoid mating a blue (either hooded or self) with any rat with a blaze face or husky markings no matter what coat color. Apparently they can carry a recessive tendency for mega-colon so crossing those ones ups the risks of it in their young so I'm told. The females need to be about 250 grams so you'll want to keep that young male rat off by himself while his ladies do a bit of growing up but then you'll have some lovely feeders down the road. :)

Aww shucks :)
Then I will be there, do I need to bring a cage to carry them home in or will you have a box or something for them?
I think finally Raigen can relaxe then, because she gets used to seeing rats, and then slowly 1 or more get fed...which she doesnt notice...but then there's those mornings when she gets up and the cage is empty...usually her look of shock is followed by "uh-oh....RAT!!...Uh-Oh" and then she proceeds to look under everything and around anything thinking they got loose. :D
I'm worried one day she's going to go "We have rats loose in our house" to some stranger! :eek:

But yes, if our plans change I will let you know..if not I will see you there.
