I know have a small niche market for my rats so I haven't had to sell any rats through the auctions or any local fur buyers. But It can only deal with about a100 rats so any rats I may catch over that number will have to find a new home.

Good luck finding a home for your rats.


In the US we used to buy products that were called ( good, better, and best). Chinese markets are ( cheap , cheaper, and cheapest). How will we ever get any market for our fur when we're sucking the bottom of the barrel.

You will have to blame the USA for out sourcing all those products. The Chinese do tend to pay some pretty good prices on our fur. While the good old USA Isn't even Interested In much of our fur.
Other then that I don't know what to tell you.

cattails, I'm confused as to why you would not want to sell to China and indirectly receive money from them. I trust you purchase nothing from China so's they indirectly receive money from you?

I very well may have to eat my words and sell into the markets. I was hoping something was in the works similar to Canada Goose. Like I said earlier in this post. I don't see the prices improving if China controls the entire market
