    I also breed my own and go through about 350/month. All live except one that will only take ASFs.

    For Rats, only 8 a month. Once our corns get up to rat pinks, make that 16-20. If our Bp switches from ASF's to rats (not going to happen), add in another four. However, we already breed our own, so I figure you should know that. Good luck.

    I use about 20 sm rats, 15 rat pups, 6 weaned, and 10 mice per month. When I order I buy about 2-3 months worth since shipping on F/T is quite costly.

    really depends on the time of year..... but usually about 60 rat pinks/fuzzies, 20 med or lg rats, 8 xxl would be an average month.

    so, with that amount of stuff i do one decent sized order every other month or every three in the winter/spring due to breeding/gravid snakes.

    I'd like to know how many feeders, RATS ONLY for now, you guys go through in one month. Pinks, fuzzies, weaners, smalls, meds, and larges.
    **** about 160 small-smalls + 20 of larger or smaller sizes for the snakes. The lizards eat mice(F/T) so I'm not including those.

    Do you purchase weekly or do you stock up, buying maybe a months worth at a time?
    **** Once a week I get live delivered to work. I do buy F/T mice once every few months for the lizards.

    Do you pick up or have them delivered?
    **** oops, delivered live once a week.

    Could you handle 25-50 frozen at one time?
    **** I feed live, only get frozen for the lizards.

    ** The only reason I feed mice instead of rats to the lizards is price. F/T mice is cheaper than similar sized F/T rats. So I'd consider buying rats, but only if they were cheap enough to beat the price i get them from now. My currant rat guy has quality rodents, and my frozen mice are good quality, so it would have to be a competitivep rice and easy to get for it to be attractive to me to change over.
    I know your rodents would be great quality though. I hope it owrks out for you, I think there seems to be a market for rodents.
