Where'd They Go?

So, we haven't carried Rats in our store for a while now.
Like since the beginning of the year.
Why?
Because our Breeder stopped breeding them, and our store hasn't found (and may never find) another breeder to go through to get Rats.

So, we carry the rat supplies. but no rats.

Yet....I still have people coming in to the store,
Asking if we have any rats.
What rats we have.
Where are the rats.

....I don't have any.

And they seem so offended by that answer.
WELL WHY NOT?!?!

Because, dear customer, I can't sell what we don't get in. When our breeder chooses to not breed certain animals it's not like I have any say in the matter....
