I believe these guys were banned in the US due to a monkeypox outbreak, so I'm unsure if anyone can supply you with some.

These guys have infact been banned in the US due to the aforementioned reason.There are big $$$$$ fines involved if you get caught with some.

Contrary to these other posts, Gambian Pouched rats are NO LONGER BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES. However, their importation is banned. The only way to acquire one now is to find somebody that kept their pets during the ban and bred them. If nobody did this, then they are effectively gone from America. I repeat, it is NOT ILLEGAL TO OWN ONE NOW, JUST ILLEGAL TO IMPORT.
