Answer 1

Husky rats can be pretty tricky to find and they are quite rare, but if you are willing to make the journey I do know of two beautiful husky rats who would make you a great set of pets!

Bath Cats and Dogs Home is an animal shelter located in North East Somerset and they currently have 17 rats desperately looking for their new forever homes. I work as a volunteer there and we currently have a female husky rat called Paris who is beautiful in both looks and temperament and very handleable  - she will however need to go to a home where she can be mixed with other females so she is not lonely. Paris did have a reserve, last time I up at the shelter so it may be that she has now got a home. There is also another female husky rat, but I am not sure of  her name as she is not one of the rat I'm *assigned* too :) she is however very pretty but quite shy - she will need a lot of handling to come out of her shell, but that was the same when Paris came in and now she is just a completely different rat! I imagine the other Husky will need mixing too, however we don't mix at the home because we don't have the resources. If you were to contact the home and ask about our Husky rats it may be that you are able to rehome them together, and plan to mix them at home, or you could simply choose one to mix with your current rats - females are usually pretty cool about re-mixing.

If you are at all interested, you can contact the home for more information at www.bathcatsanddogshome.org.uk. If not, I hope you have success locating a breeder - Husky rats are gorgeous and you probably won't find one in a normal pet store, you'll have to find somebody specialist.

Answer 3

You can find many types in Pets At Home- I work there. We don't ALWAYS have huskys- sometimes we have hoodies or badger- but we do have them a lot. You could even call you local and ask.

It's okay, I kind of understand. Not fully, since I'm nice to the animals, and since we get from breeders anyway, but that's okay. That's your opinion.

But might I suggest putting an wanted up in your local area or local paper, rather than online? I've seen people from the UK asking stuff before asking where you can get from certain areas, and they rarely get a decent reply.

Answer 4

You can look at Petfinders but other than that you will have to ask the breeders that you are looking into.
