Food sources

Can anyone tell me where I can order small quantities (say, 10 at a time) of frozen rodents? I like the idea of ordering from a source that indicates how the rodents are fed/raised but every website has a minimum of 100 or more. I'd end up discarding most of them which is unacceptable as a waste of furry little lives.

The Petco near me sells frozen but I'm leery of the quality/source. Does anyone have knowledge re their source?

Thanks.

There are a couple of members here that sell try mike C, I know he ships, but I think he only does asf's

If the rats have to be shipped to you, ordering 10 just becomes too expensive because of the shipping costs. So, you'll need to get with a local guy or breed your own. Where are you located?

Fleming Island, FL. Near Jacksonville. I thought shipping may be the problem since they are frozen. My main concern is I want to get high quality food.

Yeah I'd have to agree that shipping 10 or less would be wayyy more costly. Find someone that's somewhat local to you or within driving distance.

I know that most shipping is more than the actual order cause of the cold packs and shipping alone.

I went ahead and bough a couple mice from Petco. Don't know who packages "The Gourmet Rodent" but will research it. It looks like a nice, healthy (frozen) mouse.

However, the best part is the packaging. At the bottom, it states "Contents: Crude Protein 55%; Crude Fat 23%; Ash 11%. Hmm....well, now I know what hopper mice are made of. The other great statement is "not for human consumption." Darn!

i suggest you breed your own, that way you can keep track of what they eat how they are raised and dont have to waste money buyin them . . . unless u get a big order its not worth it to order them . . .
