AFRMA Members’ Breeders’ List

Note: Placing an ad on this web site is not the same as becoming an Official Registered Breeder. See the Official Registered breeder page to learn how to qualify and for a list of AFRMA Official Registered Ratteries/Mouseries.

Due to the many zoonotic viruses and bacteria (most are found in wild species), including the recent Seoul Hantavirus found in the Midwest pet rats Jan. 2017, plus the fact rats (nor mice) cannot be vaccinated for disease, breeders should test their rats (and mice), especially new stock, to make sure they are clear of these diseases as some diseases have no symptoms. Buyers please be aware that even though a breeder may have tested negative for a disease, these illnesses may be picked up after your purchase, especially if wild rodents have access to your pets or their food or bedding. Buyers should discuss pathogens with breeders and what measures the breeder takes to prevent disease.

With any kind of wild rodent there is the possibility of them having parasites or diseases that can be harmful or fatal to other pet rodents or humans.

There are also many rat/mouse diseases highly contagious to other rats/mice so make sure you practice proper quarantine with any new animals you bring in.

Being informed of the various risks involved with any species you choose for a pet is important as well as practicing good hygiene before/after handling, cleaning up after them, or cleaning their cages.

Bring your own carriers for new animals you purchase.

AFRMA takes no responsibility for the members listed on this page. Purchases made are between the buyer and seller only. Please be informed before making your purchases.

It is recommended that rats not be purchased before 6 weeks of age, mice 5 weeks.
