Hey guys I'm setting up my rat racks right now (just some big sterilite tubs with locking lids and a hole cut out for some 1/4" hardware cloth) and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place in southern NH or northern Mass to get some live rats? I'd like to find some with some nice colors and buy from somebody who actually knows how to take care of them.
I plan to breed for feeders but also have the breeders as pets in a sense since my girlfriend loves rats that's why we chose rats over mice. They have some rats in the local pet store for $5 but they look dirty and nasty and I would like to try and buy from someplace where they take better care of them. Besides I swore I would never buy an animal from that place again after my ball (that I bought there like an idiot) came with a nice strong case of freakin mites .
Thanks!
Adam.
Oh P.S. is it legal to ship rats or other rodents? just wondering I think I know the answer though
