Wait!! You lived in Columbus :confused::confused::confused:

Hmm. You should give me all the goodies on where to get rat supplies here. Where do you get this doggy bag stuff in Columbus? :D

I dont remember seeing it at TSC. But i may have to look again :)

And yes i got a guy he wants 15 rats for $3 a piece. And some others want 20-30 a month for $3 each. These are people who were paying pet store prices lol!

The only place that I used to buy rodent was at Captive Bred on Morse rd. There was a little pet store on 12th I think by campus and it was scuzz central. I bought a tiny western hognose there and it was dead in no time. I bought a baby savannah there too and it also kicked the bucket.

The rodents business is friggin cut throat BAD here. People didn't want to pay $1.00 for excess XLs and Jumbos I had. I gassed them and threw them in the trash. I was tired of feeding them and people had no interest in them so I wasn't wasting the freezer space on them. When I lifted up the bag of gassed jumbos it probably weighed 40-50 pounds. I couldn't even tell you how many were in there. I tried to donate them two FOUR different reptile rescues and no one would come and pick them up.

That should have been maybe $300 in my pocket, but instead it was just another something to piss me off.

Who in the heck doesn't buy a jumbo rat for a dollar? Come on now! I was just trying to get out from under feeding them, plus they were all male and they stink fast at that size. I thought that they would sell the first day that I listed them online, but NO ONE wanted them.

If you think that you could stomach doing that then maybe the rat business is right for you LOL.

Oh man. I could sell jumbos and xl's ALL day long. Frozen or live.

I have one friend with like 6 boas that eat them. Another friend that lives out by heath, ohio he has....god knows how many breeding females. I could off them big rats np.

I havent needed to yet... But iv already got them asking "What are you doing with your retired breeders"

Because... Simply my females are not going to take a xxl rat lol
