Anyone know where to find a paca or agouti in the US?

Hey, I’ve been looking around for an agouti (though I’d be okay with a paca too, but I really want an agouti). I can’t seem to find anything in the States. I’m not in a rush, I’m happy to wait even a couple of years if there’s a breeder I can get on a waitlist with. Just really hoping to add one of these animals to my home sometime soon. Any help or info on where to find one would be really appreciated!

Are you sure it’s legal to own one in your state?

I’ve looked into the NJ exotic pet laws and there’s nothing saying they’re illegal or that other similar rodents can’t be kept. I’ll probably need a permit though, so I’ll double-check with the right authorities before I make any decisions.

@Mica
How did that go? Did you find anything out?

I love agoutis too. I would adopt one if I could!

I haven’t seen agoutis available for a while, but pacas are easy to find.
