i dont have a problem with breeders either aslong as the breeding animals arent kept in lab cages etc and are treated as pets would be (along with only breeding for health and temperament not pretty colours etc) your white rat is flipping gorgeous enough to convert me to rats though and im not really a ratty person!

To be honest i'm pro rescue but as long as you go about breeding the right way and can care for the babies that don't find homes then i don't see a problem.

It's when we get a lot of breeders rehoming their old females or single male babies that I get a little peeved haha. Good luck to you.

And B3rnie I might sound really thick but what do you mean by byb?

Actually if i'm really honest the thing that really pees me off are people who claim to be rescues but then breed from the animals they take in.

BYB = Back yard Breeder, a term for someone who breeds for the wrong reasons ie profit.
