Greater Jerboa (jaculus orientalis) for sale

[tony290984]

Hello everybody,
I was scanning through some posts early this morning and noticed that somebody said they wanted a jerboa but had not seen any on sale. I came across this advert and thought I'd tell that person the link to where there's a pair on sale but after HOURS of searching I can't for the life of me find the person who said it or where. Now I know I'm tired but not nuts !!!!!!!!!!
If I've put this in the wrong place then please feel free to move it, I just wanted to type it down before I forget.
Hope that the person looking for Jerboa finds this post and that it is helpful.

i would be very careful there, as sometimes they're wildcaught.
also £300 is waaay too expensive for orientalis i think that was probably the dealer that sold the jaculus jaculus to Notcutts garden centre (in St Albans) - they looked a bit sickly and greasy, and had a water bottle (you mustn't give jerboa's a water bottle)

the dealer is also lying - jerboa's are one of the trickiest rodents to breed! jerboa's have only bred twice in the UK so far i think (if i remember Ed correctly...) and they are also quite difficult to care for - and although they don't bite, they can give you a hefty kick!!

yes yes, it's always best to get your jerboa's from a trustworthy place

Aw thank you tony- and thanks mark for the referral - but I'm a bit sceptical about adverts like that for the reasons that Ash mentioned....I am still on the look out though, so if anyone comes across or hears of a reputable breeder please let me know!
