For the past few months, the only place in town that has live rats has gone from getting over 100 rats a week to 10-20. They say it's to do with some shortage from their supplier.
Both the store and I have looked around for local rat breeders or at least one within reasonable driving distance without any luck.
The nearest I can find is in ATL which is quite the drive for getting live rats.
I have 14 that will not do FT so I have been rotating who misses a meal each feeding. Sometimes someone doesn't eat so the other gets lucky but it's not ideal.
