    Frozen mice in bulk?
    Anyone know a good / inexpensive store online to purchase hoppers in bulk? I've been getting mine from Petco but I figure it would just be easier/ less expensive in the long run to buy in bulk. Thanks.

    None of my concern but I would suggest switching to rats.

    There are several frozen rodent suppliers, depending on where you live.

    Thanks for the site. Why do you suggest switching to rats?

    Rats just provide a better meal, especially as your BP grows. Mice will do fine while they are small, but you'll have to feed multiple mice as opposed to a single rat to keep your BP full and happy once he/she is big.

    I use rodentpro.com when I buy online. I also pick up frozen rats/mice in bulk at reptile shows.

    It is just what I do, I put mine on rats so that way I don't gotta worry bout switching them from mice to rats. Also if they start to deny rats ( I don't know if anyone has had this problem but IF they did then this kinda prevents it) you don't have to worry bout feeding multiple mice to = 1 correct size mouse.... I don't know if this is good advice I am still rather new.

    I use Layne Labs because they sell the smallest quantities. I also started with mice. When I switched to rats everything went better.

    Thanks like the smaller quantities kinda saves money too.

    I never thought of it that way. Seems logical. I may start doing that. Since I'm feeding him hoppers what size rat do you think I should feed? A fuzzie or pup?
