"I enjoyed the RodentFest Expo very much. Seeing all the darling little mice and ratties, and others, Ferets, the skunk, guinea pigs...I saw so many I wanted to take home with me. I was able to pickup some very interesting information that I will be able to share with others, and hopefully help others to see how sweet and loveable Rats really are...I enjoyed meeting Raquel, and getting to meet Karen, I wish I could have met others that I have been emailing on different groups. Name tags next time maybe? " -

"I honestly can't describe how wonderful this event was. I was most definitely in Rodent Heaven :) ! It was so well run and everybody there was friendly and helpful. I wish there were more of these events in the Northeast! Great shopping and adopting opportunities as well!"

"This was my first rodent expo. I was thrilled that it was in Leesport, PA which is right in my area. I had a wonderful time, and it was great to see all the unique varieties of animals, and even greater to be able to adopt some and add them to my family. I found everyone to be very friendly, helpful, and, patient in answering all the questions I had, and I hope to enter some contestants next year when the show rolls around again. I would have liked to have seen more vendors present, and I think that with a little more advertisement, it could really become popular. Of course, it's always nice to get together with people who share your same interests. A+ for this experience!!! "
