So I decided to start a small breeding colony for my picky feeders and in preparation for hatchlings. Thanks to Jo for helping me out when I couldn't find what I needed at Home Depot! So I've been told that Albino rats, while prolific breeders are not too friendly. I went out on a search for 1.2 non Albinos and found....NOTHING! Obviously the big pet stores have only Albinos because of their breeding prowess. If anyone has any idea of places to find non Albino rats in North or Central Jersey, let me know! I called a place in Central Jersey that supposedly has a few hooded and my fiance is going to stop there tomorrow and see how they look and maybe pick up a few. I called about 10 pet stores (most of which seemed disgusted that I would even ask if they sold rats) and went into 4 and nothing.
