Finally some dumbos

I picked up a couple of dumbos http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/13/haretuta.jpg

1.1 pastels, 1.0 lesser, 0.1 het blurry, 0.1 spider, 1.1 norm. 0.1 dinker,

Awww! :gj:

Nothing is better than having even cuter rats to feed off lol

I'm having a blast breeding rats. Congrats on the dumbos. Going to hold them back? I'm moving toward producing 100% dumbos myself.

Just sold another 2 as pets the other day. The rats continue to pay for their food and bedding just by selling the nicest ones as pets on Craiglist and Facebook.

I wish the pet rat market in this area was as good as it must be in your area. Almost all of mine are dumbo and I still find myself having to feed off 99%+ of my young ones.

They are so adorable I can't stand it. My local pet store only sells dumbos, and I hate using them as feed. They just look at me with those little adorable faces and I can't do it.

The pet rat market is spardic (?) at best by me. I just threw an add on cl advertising bulk snake food for a couple months. Ended up getting a hit from someone needing 17 rats a week, still working to get my production there close tho. Just a thought on what I do if you wanna sell off more

Its crazy I'll advertise on CL and get a bunch of people calling so I'll breed up then I don't hear from anyone but the regular buyers then someone will call wanting thirty med and fourteen pups and I don't have enough. So I'll breed up then I'll be breeding like crazy and end up with twenty large and a guy calls and buys them all. I made over 100.00 this weekend that will pay for my watering system. I get feed money and spending money works great for me.

Congrats on the dumbos! They are a must! So cute and always popular.


I only advertise my rats as pets. I've had a wait list for specific kinds of babies since last summer.
$10 dumbos and rexes. $15 dumbo rex and double Rex. $5 top eared. The pet people are so into it since I have wanted colors, markings, coat type, and ears. Plus they're cheaper than pet stores and private show breeders.

There is one guy who always asks for a small rat every 2-3 weeks for his snake. I charge him $4. Ripoff, I know. But its still cheaper than what he was paying for food before ($10) so he's happy.

$10 for a feeder D: Was he buying a pet rat to use as food? I thought paying $4.50 for a small rat from my local feeder store was high! Luckily, I found a local breeder who charges me no more than $1.50 a rat.

BTW: those dumbos sure are cute! I always feel bad feeding dumbos because they are adorable!

Me too. I want to breed dumbos selectively for pets. I'm gonna try to produce some Siamese or Himalayan dumbos with really low big ears.

It was a private pet store that just overcharges everything. They were 'feeders'. Crazy huh.

You'd think they would realize if they cut the price they might sell more rats and make more money. Hm. What a novel idea!
