Lol I got kicked out of minnesota rats group because I called out nikki stonerr for her ill practices so let me just tell y'all that she's the reason I'm a breeder!!!! When I went to her home about 8 years ago, her males were in raising the litters with mom, she was keeping them together for a year at a time!!! Rats are only pregnant for 3 weeks and can get pregnant 24 hours after delivering!!!! How many litters a year are moms having?!?!? They were all in tanks which we know doesn't provide enough air ventilation, after one rat pees just a few times, all they can breath in is ammonia, imagine if you only clean a ten gallon tank of 4-5 once a day!!! Besides the ammonia they're breathing in, what if its hot and humid out and there isn't enough air ventilation? They are litterally in a moist environment breathing in ammonia!!! She knows how sensitive their respiratory systems are, she just doesn't care...... She's sold to pet stores, she's sold at fairs, she breeds more than just rats, she has the money to invest in bettering the rats in her cares lives but she doesn't care!!!! She knows her lines aren't tune, she knows her lines carry onset aggression and megacolon but doesn't care because people support her!!! Well let me just say that I don't and I'm not sorry for that, I'm in this to better the species while she's giving all of us breeders a bad reputation!!! Im breeding to try to change the bad reputation that rats have and I can't do that alone!!! I can't do that with breeders like her not caring about especially temperament!!! If you buy one of her rats and then buy one of mine, I promise you that you'll see the difference in temperament!!!! My rats aren't skiddish!!! My rats aren't shy!!! My rats will come right up to you and become your friend without any fear or second thought!!!! Not just because I actually hold my babies but because their temperament is tune!!!! Yeah of course I have things I'm still working out in my lines but it's ear shape, face shape, size, ect....
I don't mean to bash anyone here however I feel it needs to be talked about!!!! Its not okay and she should care enough at least about her customers to change her ways instead of get defensive with me!!!!
