Cherokee Flats

Accepting Payments IN FULL for RAT babies
CLICK HERE

Beginning June 1, 2023, all rats/mice/rabbits sold at Cherokee Flats will have 2 price points when sold as pets/breeders. A separate and 3rd prices set for feeders (please contact for information)

Please be sure to specify if you are wanting the extras or not. IF you do not, I will assume you do and you will be charged the higher price with extras. Please visit our Pricing Page for details.

ALL Rats and Mice must be purchased in same sex pairs or same sex groups of 3 or more. RABBITS are sold as SINGLE animals in a household. IF you already have a rabbit, do not ask to purchase one from us. Rabbits are NOT social animals and therefore do not need a cage mate or buddy.

POULTRY will be sold in quantity that meets your needs. We do not always have available stock, so be sure to check with us before hand.

Any animal that is to be held here PAST the age of 8 weeks of age due to your personal circumstances will be charged as follows:

RATS: $2.00/day/rat

MICE: $1.00/day/mouse

RABBITS: $5.00/day/rabbit

POULTRY: $5.00/day/bird

Please be aware that this will be charged IN ADVANCE and must be paid when you reserve your animals. ALL $$ sent to us here at Cherokee Flats is NON REFUNDABLE (some circumstances considered).

Fancy Mice

Mice are constantly being born here. Please message us for availability

Poultry

Hatching will resume at a later date TBD. Please check back

At no time is anyone allowed to just "show up" and expect to purchase any animals we have here. We do not always have stock available and therefore it would be a complete waste of time and even if we had stock, you MUST make arrangements ahead of time

If you show up to our property unannounced, you will be asked to leave and make arrangements to visit at a more desirable time OR find another place to purchase the animals you are looking for.

We are a small farm and do not breed in mass quantities. We breed for what we need and anything left is sold. For feeders, I offer what I have when I have it at reasonable prices but am unable to provide mass amounts of any animal we have.

We prefer to stay small so that we can provide specialized service to our customers.

Please check our website (www.cherokeeflats.com) or our FB page (www.facebook.com/cherokeeflats) for more information.

Thank you again for your understanding.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Due to peoples lack of respect for our time, ALL animals sold (with exception to feeders) MUST BE PAID FOR IN FULL before an appointment will be made. (However, if you schedule a time to pick up feeders and do not show up, we will require FULL PAYMENT for all future feeder sales.) This includes but is not limited to: Pets, Breeders, Show animals, all poultry. ALL pets MUST have a purchase agreement ON FILE with us and be paid for IN FULL BEFORE any further action will be made. This is to help make sure animals are picked up when scheduled and pets will be going to good homes.

*Please note that ALL money sent to Cherokee Flats for the purchase of any animals is NON-REFUNDABLE unless we cancel the sale due to illness or death of the animal you wish to purchase. While it doesn't happen often, it can happen.

4H, FFA and ARBA members do not need to fill out any agreement unless requested to purchase show or breeding stock.

Tours and education classes are available.

**All classes must be paid for in advance. We do not offer any refund if you decide to cancel. Refunds are ONLY if we cancel. NO EXCEPTION!**

If you are interested in raising rabbits or poultry for meat to help feed your family, let us know! We will go over all aspects of meat raising and offer a how to class on butchering.

Tours start at $50.00/family up to 4, additional family member please add $5.00/ea.

Initial tour will be scheduled separate from butchering how to.

Since breeding depends a lot on the doe, you could have to wait to do your butchering class up to 12 weeks AFTER initial tour.

Butchering class is $60/person and is HANDS ON and will include some literature to take home with instructions, tips and tricks, along with our contact information in case you have any further questions..

If you have a squeamish stomach, DO NOT ATTEND.

disclaimer: We are a SMALL family owned and operated farm. We do not produce in mass and are not a hatchery. For poultry, we hatch what we need or by request with full payment. For other animals, we breed for what we need and sell the rest unless requesting a specific pairing.
