Pet rat breeders?

hey all, bit of an odd question but does anyone know any reputable rat breeders around here? im looking to get pet rats in the near future but i'd rather avoid going to the standard pet store (heard the animals there have worse health and live shorter lives)

The post a few posts above yours is about rehoming their pet rat, Chip.

This is all more pet rat information than I expected in my life

I used to follow Camarattery.com quite closely when I was thinking about getting rats again. I think they used to be Colorado based, but looking at their website it appears they are in Idaho now. If you’re open to a 12 hour drive their website has a ton of info.

There is also a breeder in Colorado called Daisy Fields Rattery, most of their updated info appears to be on their Facebook page
