Any rats needing a home
I desperately want to get my fiance a pet rat for christmas.

He has wanted one for years and we have just moved in together (told him a little fib that we weren't allowed pets in our rented house so that he wouldn't buy one so I could surprise him for christmas) but would rather see here if anyone has one first before looking in the shops

He know's all about taking care of rats but I don't know the first thing so if you have any advice as well that would be appreaciated (as in the best home to buy for them, what food to get them, special things to do to keep them extra healthy and live long)

many thanks

I looked in to getting some from breeders around here. Because I live in Newbury. To just let you know there are very few breeders around here, except from Reading area.

Re: Any rats needing a home
yes, definitely. heard had to get 2 so getting one each. that is how he convinced me. We were looking in a pet store and my perception of rats completely changed. Can't have him being lonley.
So does anyone know of any breeders in the Reading/Berkshire area

Re: Any rats needing a home
You can email the NFRS and get a breeders list sent to you but I dn't think that any of them breed around Christmas- they tend to wait untill after the Christmas season.
