I've tried a few pet shops in my local area (Cambridgeshire) and they only seem to have male dumbos. Does anyone know of anywhere in Cambs that has them?

Don't look if you don't want to. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://pawofjustice.org/up loads/MouseFood-ME.jpg&imgrefurl=http://pawofjustice.org/index.php%3Fcat%3D11&h=560&w=500&sz=54&hl=en&start=21&um=1&tbnid=2Bj9RB9lvASFPM:&tbnh=133&tbnw=119&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drodent%2Bbreeding%2Bfarm%26start%3D18%26ndsp%3D18%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4ADBF_en-GBGB226GB226%26sa%3DN So really I'd urge you to seek out a rescue, you may have more luck on www.fancy-rats.co.uk Any reason they have to be dumbos?

Karma: 15 Thank Medals: None 2271 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Erm, garden centres get their rats from backyard breeders! There are plenty of rats in rescue, but I can't guarantee you'll find all dumbos! I guess the personality is more important though! If you can't find any in a rescue, at the very least please seek out a reputable breeder. The www.fancy-rats.co.uk link will help you find rescues and good breeders.

I think until you see something like that video you put up you dont realise how bad conditions for these poor animals really are. Its either reputable breeder or rescue from now on for me. Admititadly (cant spell) including linford all my animals apart from the dogs have been bought from pet shops. But i dont wana support the back yard breeders Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2007 8:22 am fern Newbie Joined: Aug 28, 2008 Posts: 2 Age: 17 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: dogs,cats,hamsters,ferrets,rats Karma: 0 Thank Location: cornwall Medals: None 16 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: i know its already been posted but www.fancy-rats.co.uk have a re-homing bit..
