ALL Rats and Guinea Pigs (Cavy) must be purchased in same sex pairs or same sex groups of 3 or more. NO exceptions. Rats and Guinea Pigs are highly social animals and are happier with cage mates.

ANYONE caught changing information on any pedigree that has our animals in it will NOT be sold any more of our animals. Pricing is determined by the quality of the animal, if we would show it, or if we would keep it to use in our breeding programs. Please be aware that these prices listed above are ONLY a starting point and pricing can be determined to be lower OR higher that what we have listed here.
