if you do keep them dont tell a soul or let someone see them! people are rats and dont like to tend to their own business. hate to see you get fined or anything else.

You can check for both breeders and the legal status on this site. Good luck.

well if you see them out in the bushes and wilderness and no one is making the effort to catch them, they are legal, and not harmful….so i guess they’re legal.
