The Rodent Guy    

Hello! 

Welcome to my web site.  Glad you found it!  Keep it free!

My name is Larry B, known to many as The Rodent Guy.  Some call me Uncle Larry, and two very special little dudes that call me Grandpa!!

I have been handling,studying, raising and breeding rodents of many kinds since I was a kid in 1st grade. I grew up in Eastern Iowa and still live less then 30 miles from the place I was born. 

I now specialize in giving information and advice on keeping gerbils, chinchillas and hamsters.  Specifically, I breed Syrian and Campbells Russian Dwarf.  I have recently decided to begin to breed gerbils again, after several years of not having them. 

I think gerbils are the best and often under estimated of the pocket pets. A well bred tamed gerbil has some of the same traits as a puppy.

And then there are my favorite people, my other interests, like our dogs (see Other Vermits), my gardens, passion flowers and the plant club, Generations Gardeners and Swap Meets

 Check me out on FACEBOOK!
