Question

ive been on the phone alot with them. they tell me they would recondmend me get 2 rats. is this a good place 2 get my rats?

Answer 1

sure why not!

Answer 2

No pet store is a good place to get rats, or any other animal for that matter. Pet stores are supplied by mills or backyard breeders. Pet store rats are often sick, undersocialized, and sometimes, in the case of females, pregnant.

Answer 3

Is this a rescue, a pet store.. ?! It sounds like a local store, or a local chain, so I've never heard of it.

It's good that they recommended 2 rats, but you have to determine the conditions yourself. Check out the ratties, see if they look healthy, ask the employees how they take care of them, things like that. Make sure their eyes and noses are clear, they're alert, and they look generally healthy.
