Hello from West Palm Beach Florida (located in South East Florida)
I'm new here & will be lurking around a bit until I get familiar with the board.
I would be interested in getting mice but I don't know where to find them. I want to avoid the pet stores if at all possible but there don't seem to be any breeders in FL. I have only found a couple links. One is no longer available (site removed) & the other hasn't been updated in over a year. I contacted this breeder via email several months ago & it seems she suffered huge losses in her stock due to equipment failure & is going to have to build new lines.
I open to adopting from newer breeders that are establishing lines (never heard back from the other person). That is how I adopted my rats. The breeders involved with the project are working toward a goal with the patchwork rats & this is going to take several generations. Initially the offspring were going to be very common, furred & nothing fancy. I am not interested in the patchworks (the Caruso line bred to Bellaratta's line of blues) This was a win/win situation for me because I got some lovely, kissy solid black boys that I named Kirk & Cru (sticking with their name theme) & the breeder was able to place these two with someone who will love them & be able to report back about any concerns.
That is about all I can think of to say right now.
