Live feeders

My BP will only eat live feeders and it is getting expensive buying from the local pet store. Does anyone know of a company that will ship live mice or rats? This would reallly help me out a lot.

No, I don't. How about breeding them yourself?

By "Your BP" do you mean one BP? Buying one mouse from Petco was costing me $1.99 (plus tax) per week. A small rat is $4.99... considering I get my feeders for a heck of a lot less now, I also think that's expensive... but for one animal... Not that bad for a $5.00 a week rat... less than a dollar a day for healthy food for your BP. :)

Are you going to a big chain pet store or a local place? I go to a little local pet store that breeds their own feeders, and it is a lot cheaper than the big Petsmart.

I pay $3 for a rat, no matter the size and $1.50 a mouse. I asked them yesterday if they had any birthday specials! ;)

Just curious but how and what methods were you useing when you tried feeding him f/t??

I'm not sure who your question was directed to, I don't see where anyone said they were feeding f/t, but I might have missed it.


I've always fed live myself.
