Not sure where you can get them, depends on where you live.
They breed about the same as mice or rats, growth rate is closer to mice than rats, but they ultimately get to about twice the size of the largest mouse. About 80-90g max size.
The young are closer to the size of mice and don't surpass mouse size until they are adults.
You can house a trio in a 10gal tank, though bigger is better. Provide a water bottle and a constant source of lab block food.
