    Pet store rant

    So the store in my town has mice ordered in every Tuesday. I like to go there and pick my live there as they're closest and the cheapest.

    I know they go quickly. They do not order enough for a WEEK for their customers. Usually if feeding day is on any day after Thursday, I'll have to go and pay out my tush for mice in the city.

    So today's Tuesday. Their next feeding day is Monday, so I thought I'd pick up enough for two feelings.

    I go in, and they let someone reserve mice. I needed 20, and could only get 12. I'm frustrated. I think it's totally unfair That they let someone reserve more than half their mice :@ it should be first come, first serve.

    Can't wait till my own mice are steadily producing. I have 36 pinks right now. so hopefully I'll be able to feed without having to go to that darn pet store.

    Sorry just needed to rant

    Why don't they order more if they consistently run out?

    I honestly have no idea. When I got there, all they had was 33 adults. And they got their mice this morning.

    Rodentpro issue could be why. Mice were infected. I don't know if they've started shipping again yet or not, but apparently folks in NE Alabama are having trouble getting mice. There's a thread about it somewhere, or there's always Google.
