No, I haven't lost any... technically.
I contacted a breeder way back in March and we spoke about her rats, and I told her I'd purchase 2 boys from her April litter. She said she'd be in touch with me and she'd tell me when the boys were born. Since the litter was to be born in early April, I decided to e-mail her, yesterday, and see what the progress was. Well, she told me they were born, but they were all spoken for! I am still a little upset, I've been having some other things in my life get screwed up like this because of other people's mistakes quite a bit in the past month or so. Anyway, since my breeder crapped out on me, I want to find another breeder that I could get a pair of brothers from. I live in South Dakota, in Madison at the moment, but in about 3 weeks (which is when I can have my boys, I can't have them, yet, as I'm still in the dorms.) I'll be living in Sioux Falls. Do you guys know of any breeders in my area? (Southeast South Dakota, Southwest Minnesota, Northwest Iowa, Northeast Nebraska.) I'd hate to have to drive more than an hour or two, but I absolutely don't want to have to consider buying from a pet store.
I've been trying to find breeders on Google, but it's hard to find up to date breeder lists, and even harder to find a breeder in this area with a website or contact information.
If you don't know of any breeders, what about rescues? Does anyone know of a rescue within 1-2 hours of my area?
I'll keep doing what I can to find a breeder, but I'd really really appreciate it if you guys could share any that you know of with me!!
Thanks so much,
Casey
