rat breeders

Question
Hi, I am looking into buying a fancy rat, and not the common rat that are showcased in the general pet stores. i have been having the darnest time locating a fancy rat breeder in my area, or to better state; Washington state. can you help me?

Answer
There are a couple from Washington here.

At the bottom of that page there are a bunch of breeder lists you can look through too.

Its well worth while searching for a breeder, nothing to do with colour or type, but for health reasons, petshop rats often carry myco, a respitory disease that will shorten life dramatically.

Good luck.

Keep me updated.
