I want to breed small pets

Question

I want to breed small pets, mainly to become awear of breeding practices so later on I can breed racehorses.

My question is, where can I sell the animals that I breed. I would like to start off with mice and work my way up. If I enjoy it I would stay with breeding small pets and give up on my dream of having a stud farm.

Answer 1

I don't know where you live, buy why not look up your local 4-H club. You will learn everything you want to know from them about the care, selection, feeding and breeding of an animal.

I hate to state the obvious, but learning to breed hamsters and hoping that this will give you an insight into breeding horses..... well..... that is a reach.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Answer 2

Pet stores are usually overloaded with mice. Usually they give you store credit too if you bring in a animal. How about maybe dwarf hamsters? Those are kind of cool and you don't see very many, well not where I live at least.

Answer 3

Try making sale agreements with local pet shops. If you breed mice, check first if any stores want to carry 'fancy' mice as pets.

Otherwise mice are often bread as 'feeders' if you are OK with that, then contact stores that stock them and ask ahead of time if they will buy them.

Answer 4

Some pet stores will let you re sell them to them for a cheap price but it works and also this might sound sad but you could sell them to snake breeders  

Answer 5

Your time would be better spent learning all you can about horses and not rodents.  One has nothing to do with the other.

Answer 6

don't use craigslist unless you put a re-homing fee, unless you want your mice to go to snakes!

Answer 7

Reputable breeders have waiting lists for their animals and the ones for smaller animals usually sell to other breeders, never to pet stores or directly to pet owners.

Craigs list doesn't allow breeders to post.

But ditto the above. Don't breed just to 'practice'
