Having trouble locating rat breeder in my area

Question
Please help me! (if you can) I have been looking for a rat breeder near or in the Asheville, North Carolina (28805) area for over 1 year now, with no success at all. I am very sad about not finding anybody, and I am almost desperate enough to go to PetSmart. Please help me if you can, and please send an email reply ASAP.

Answer
I was able to find a few Rat Breeder Directories for you which list different ratteries by state through out the US. Otherwise, I do not personally know of any rat breeders in North Carolina at this time.

I really wish I could have been more help to you, so I do apologize. Please don't hesitate to get back in contact with me if you have other questions. In the meantime, here are the Rat Breeder listings you can check out:
