    A "nice" way to post an ad on craigslist to look for feeders?

    I'm looking for various feeder/prey items and I posted an ad on craigslist about it.. Problem is.. It gets flagged almost instantly...

    How can I word it so that it doesn't get flagged? I know.. hard question...

    Needed: Rodents in need of friends offering long hugs and sweet kisses.



    Craigslist people are frustrating. I have never used Backpage but I know its like Craigslist without all the dumb rules. They even allow guns there. You might check it out.

    Well, if you posted that in "Casual Encounters" you'd get some calls! Probably wouldn't be quite what you were looking for, but it wouldn't get flagged!

    On a serious note, have you tried posting an ad that's a little more vague? I'm wondering what the response would be like if you put something out looking for python food. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how difficult it seems to be for some of you guys to find feeders.

    Craigslist folks are brutal when it comes to pet-only rehoming of rodents. As soon as they catch a,whiff of a snake keeper, everything gets flagged. It's a shame too, I could use well-packaged local feeders but no such luck it seems.

    Heck with CL and try the local reptile forum on Facebook. Someone will either be advertising feeders or will know who breeds them in your town.
