sunday, i went to my local pet shop where i get feeder rats and they said they were out until tuesday. i went back today and they said they're out. there's a rat shortage, they won't have any for a while and were trying to get some breeding themselves. i got a mouse and went to the counter and casually mentioned, "rat shortage, huh?" to the guy at the counter and he says "yeah, the biggest supplier, supplies nationwide, had an electrical fire and lost their rats and won't have a good supply going for 2 months." anybody hear that anywhere else? this is a local shop in plano tx, suburb of dallas.
