Default Re: Pet shop or breeder

If you must use a pet store then try to find a smaller independent owned one as often they buy pups from pet owner unplanned litters or a Breeder may sell them some nice but not quality enough to use as a breeder Hamsters. I believe these stores are referred to as "Mom and Pop" Stores in the UK and "Independently owned" stores in the USA.

One store I know of in my city only sells Breeder bred pocket pets which includes Chinchillas and Fancy Rats, and mice. They also have a list of breeders of reptiles which they offer to any customer seeking a Reptile.

It's really nice as when they sell a breeder raised pet they also send the animal home with a card with the e-mail to the breeder so you can actually contact the breeder to gain more information on the animal purchased and on some you get a pedigree or can e-mail for a pedigree.
