PetCo= TOTAL RIPOFF!!

I was running low on frozens so I thought I'd stop by petco and use a giftcard I got to get some frozens. I go to their freezer and its 6 FREAKING DOLLARS for ONE PINKY! I mean WTH!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. And these TINY pinkies come in these HUGE packages that look like 40 of them could fit in. Its 'Gourmet Rodent" just btw.

And their reptile supplies section really sucks too.

Hopefully the pinky was piced wrong. A live mouse costs 2.99 at the Petco near me.

The Petco near me also has a great reptile section. IMO

Reptile sections in pet stores are like metal sections in record stores:

Some of them are really good, but they are quite often overlooked or underdeveloped. That's my observation anyways :P

The one here absolutley sucks. The animals look good and healthy..but their selection is horrible.

Huge ripoff. I pay about $1 for a pinky feeder from Twin Cities Reptiles, and it's a bit of a ripoff, but since I only have one snake feeding on 'em right now it's not worth it to place an order with my usual online sources. I haven't had luck finding a direct non-retail source here in Minnesota.

For $6 each, I'd just buy a couple live ones and breed them for a couple months and freeze the offspring.

I just had to run up now there is nothing within an 1 hour 20 inutes away. I paid $3 and change for three. I have to admit I like the petsmart the are in a box bagged up seperate. I am just getting myself used to buying them from a reptile store in larger numbers.

Our petco has 'arctic mice' priced pretty decent, not quite rodentpro cheap but not as bad as a live mouse.. Only issue is they are generally pretty gross and sort of rotted lookin :(

Never mind my husband had it wrong they were $4.9:mad:
