Whiskers N' Tails breeds dwarfs, and SOMEONE else over here on the east coast does, but I'm drawing a blank. :rolleyes:
Where are you located Snakes? :)

My newest male breeder is a Black eyed Siamese standard coat.
I have him breeding 3 standard size agouti females that carry the dwarf gene, blue, and Siamese and red eye recessives also.
Should produce some awesome babies, hopefully the fawn dwarf I want so much, lol. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/PICT7776.jpg

:P Aww he's adorable!
See, this is what turns me off of getting one though, they have such short lifespans. :hmm: You get attached then they're gone.

Dwarfs life span is a little less than standard size rats in my experience.
My standards are living well past 2 years old but my dwarfs have lived 1 1/2 years for both my males I've kept so far.
I don't keep or breed adult dwarf females so I'm not sure if their longevity is better than the males but I suspect not.
Also my males were breeding from a young age till they were over a year old, kept as pets they may live longer, but I'm really not sure?
Although they have a fairly short life span they are worth every minute of the time you have with them IMO :)
