My local pets at home doesn't do the breeding. I asked loads of questions before we got our russian boys and they order animals on a Sunday (one Sunday every two weeks they decide if they want animals or not and if they want enough to make an order they put the order in, if not they wait two weeks and revisit the decision), they arrive Tuesday and are ready for rehoming either the Wednesday or the Friday depending on which staff member you ask. They get the animals in at 5-6 weeks old, in single sex groups, then keep them in the back until they either get sold (like our russian boys) or move to the front when the older ones are sold.
We were told they'd order a litter in if they got pets that week but they didn't end up getting one. We were even told they'd had a litter in but then when we went to buy them were told the person who claimed they'd got some in was wrong and they only had the older ones we already knew about.
Ended up getting the younger of the two groups in the store but its rediculous how little the staff knew, both about the animals in general and the stock in the store.
Its kinda scary really... That they don't know about species yet are meant to advise potential owners, they disagree on when animals can be sold, even disagree on what stock they have.
