African Soft Fur Rats

[smasharama13]

I know it was asked already somewhere in the last 7 pages, but does anyone know where we can find these things in the western states? I read someone in Arizona, and another in Washington that want some. I too am interested in these little buggers. If the smell is really less than ordinary rats (and mice are just nasty smelling.)

My local pet store barley has feeder mice let alone ASF's.

Good luck in CA, that state prob won't let them in........... I would try one of your larger reptile shows out there if you are going to find them. If you do find them, be aware that CA most likely will have them on an illegal list. I would check with your state before you run into problems.


Just my .

Post your needs on the ASFRats site listed in my sig (sorry for the probably umpteenth shameless plug).

Not sure what was up, I was updating some server side dependencies last night but all should be good today. PM if you need to be activated.

My one mommy rat had 8 babies. They've only been on the Mazuri diet a few weeks though, so I'm holding out hope they will be larger litters from some of the others.. if the others will go ahead and BREED.
They are looking like snake food to me.

My female rat (the one who had pups) was bigger than the others when she delivered. I don't know that it makes any difference though. Maybe the male was having an "off" day? lol. My girl gave me 12 pups

3 have gone to heaven from the cat's antics (2 are in the freezer)

I was wrong, I have TWO litters of african rat babies! The ten gallon tanks are right next to each other so I heard squeeking, assumed it was the one litter. Today I saw the other trio also has a litter! Only 6 in it, but since its the FIRST litter from other than the one pair, I'm excited about this mazuri diet.

rock on! I weaned a couple litters a few days ago and have a few more getting close.
