    Plus husbands barely ever make mistakes so when that mistake happens once in a great while it should be okay :D :rofl:

    Holy cow, that is insane! The prices for gourmet rodent at our pet shop aren't that high, but they are still pretty crazy. They have signs all over their store to buy frozen for your reptiles rather than live, but 1 frozen rodent costs more than 1 live one, how does that make sense! I've had a chit chat about that with them, but they don't always like what I have to say. At least not the sensitive ones! lol

    The Petco's in my town sell small "gourmet rodent" brand rats in a 3 pack for roughly $13.00
    it's ridiculous. Pinky mice are about 3 dollars each or so. :rolleyes:

    Those prices are insane, I can buy a medium sized rat for about 3.50 from the place near me and adult mouse for a dollar, ends up costing me about $25 a month. At least it's cheaper then feeding the dog haha.

    So glad I breed my own. Our local pet store really is not that bad, but after I had aquired more than 6 bps, I quickly realized that I needed to start breeding my own stock to cut my expenses. Now, my collection is a lot bigger. I have figured it out, and I save roughly $3000 a year by breeding the rats/mice. Definantly the best thing I have ever done.
