Any info about this breeder?

[braggalot01]

Just wanted to know any info about this breeder, for a possible future addition. They have a lot of litters right now, but I am not sure if that is too many or if its normal.

Run don't walk!

That is a HORRIBLE breeder, they have NO pedigrees, they are raising more then 5 litters?!!?!?! How the HECK can you socialize any rats when you are raising that many?
I am gonna have to stop myself before I go on an endless rant.

Worst breeder I have seen in a LONG time.

Some people have the time and dedication. If you must try them, request to see the rats personally to "test the waters" before considering a rat from them. The lack of pedigree must not be a good thing, though.

The no pedigrees is what kills me.

And they have over 5 litters, I am sorry. There is no way someone can properly socialize that many babies.

Those rats may as well be pet store rats.

I agree with running.

IF a breeder doesn't have ped's you do the next best thing, and start googling rattery prefixes for the rats in their breeding program to see what type of rats they carry, their websites, etc...for eg.

EAR or Ethan Allen Rattery
http://www.ethanallenrattery.com/

then go through their rats and see FAR stock
FAR or Family Affair Rattery
http://www.familyaffairratz.com/

Then you see RRLM and PCKG...then you cry and run away.

Is it just me or does her alleged black berkshire downunder look like it's just a normal mismarked berk?

HAHAHAHA that is funny!! Those are cute belly markings but they sure aren't downunder!

[smesyna]

There's an awful lot of "suspcious" markings like all those blazes and bandeds too

There are just a billion red flags. Charging more for different varieties, too many litters, adopting out tons of retired breeders, the list could go on.

I suggest when wondering about a breeder you read this:

Can't hurt to run it by us afterwards too
