Queensland Rodent Fanciers
Approved Breeder List
Queensland Rodent Fanciers (QRF) takes great pride in our approved breeders. This is the listing of rat and mouse breeders who are registered with QRF throughout Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW).
These are breeders who have an established relationship with the club; who we trust to represent the club through their understanding and practical application of our ethics and code of conduct; and who we recommend to people seeking to purchase rats or mice.
Only QRF registered breeders are permitted to advertise or sell animals on our Facebook Page, and at our shows.

Becoming a Approved Breeder
If you're interested in becoming a Registered Breeder, these are the steps that are involved. To gain a full understanding you may also refer to our official process of breeder registration. Forms are best handed to us at rodent shows however they can also be scanned & emailed to us at info@qrf.org.au
Breeding both rats and mice
If you initially submit an intention to breed form for rats, and decide a few months down the track to also breed mice, a second intention to breed form must be filled out & process repeated for the extra species. However you will not need to pay an extra fee for breeding 2 species.
If you are already registered as a breeder for one species, but later decide to breed another species, a second intention to breed form must be filled out. However there will only be a 3 month waiting period before needing to submit the "Application to Breed" form. No extra fee is paid for the second species.

- Become a financial member.
- Read our Approved Breeder Code of Ethics and our Breeder Care and Housing Requirements to see if they suit your breeding style.
- Submit the Intention to Breed form. Make sure you do this as soon as you decide to become Registered, as there is a wait involved.
- Attend 6 shows over a minimum of 12 months. A minimum of 5 rodents must be shown during this time, including some rodents bred by you.
- Submit the "Application to Breed" form. A member of the management committee will have a "questionnaire" chat with you. There are absolutely no "right or wrong" answers - and it's not an interrogation by any means - it's purely to get an understanding of your breeding knowledge & see if we can help in any way.
- Your application will be submitted to the committee for approval.
- Once your application is approved, a Breeders Registration fee of $40 is to be paid.
- Your registration will be announced online & at the next rodent show.
