    Help needed on planning a 6 month food supply for a young BP

    I'd like to purchase about a 6 months supply of food for my lil guy online. What size and quantities should I order? He's about 100 grams now and currently feeding on Petsmart's version of a frozen adult mouse which is around 20 grams. I'm sure someone out there has been in this situation before and can give me a solid recommendation.

    Thanks for the help!

    buy a bag of 50 adult mice, big cheese rodents, or rodent-pro can ship them to you, but you might want to check on kingsnake and google searches for somone local shipping is very high and it makes more sense to but like 100 or 150 mice because it doesnt change the shipping price much...

    Where do you live?

    Texas Panhandle. Theres a local pet store that carries live feeders but its a last resort. Id rather pay more online if necessary.

    Big cheese rodents are in Ft. Worth TX, thier shipping cant be too bad from there, apexrodents.com is in austin tx, I would start with those two, it cant be much to ship to where you are located... But also look at craigslist, I just bought 150 rodent pro mice from a lady that didnt need them any more and I paid the rodent pro price without shipping...

    Its about a 7 hour drive so shipping would be best. I'm expecting to pay about $100 so it's all good.

    Big cheese rodents are the number one in the country... I got free shipping since I'm in Texas , you might get the same deal.

    If they are the number one in the country than the people conducting that experiment failed to purchase from The Mouse Factory

    I have ordered from both places and The Mouse Factory is far superior, in my experience, in all ways except they are a bit more expensive than Big Cheese. However, since I am left gagging once weekly from the stench of the rodents from Big Cheese, I'll gladly fork over the $48 difference and go back to the The Mouse Factory

    On the other hand, I am breeding my own rats now, and they are WAY better than any rat from a Rodent breeder
