Breeders/Vendors to Avoid

This is a list of known mills, essentially. People breeding tons of animals, often hundreds, in terrible conditions. They're essentially mills and best avoided at all costs. There is no way to know what problems or illnesses their animals carry.


Bear Creek Chinchillas/Vickers Farms - Located in SC.

• Their animals are kept in terrible conditions, possibly outdoors, near rabbits and chins. (Rabbits can pass illnesses to gliders and chins.) The breeding adults are terribly stained and have horrible looking coats. They accept 'unwanted' pets and turn around and breed them. They also sell young animals well before a typical wean date. They severely over charge for their 'starter' cage which is typically accepted as a good size for a HOSPITAL cage and nothing more. They're breeding easily hundreds of animals between the gliders, chins and rabbits. "Jason H Vickers i breed them i have over 100 pairs of them. - March 1 at 8:46am"
