I buy them at the reptile shows. They sell at the one in Columbus. The snakes like their rats, and the price is way better than for live in this area.

We pay about 100.00 for rodent block and bedding were feeding between 40 and snakes

When my rats arent breeding like they should i tend to spend about 50 bucks a week or so but when im getting pinkies and small rats going then i just end up paying for feed and thats all which feed is about 12 for 40 lb bags. Needless to say im working on becoming full time self sufficient and i do sell my extras to local snake owners. Just started a mouse breeding project so hopefully ill get those going as well.

Selling pet rats for $15 a pair pays for all the bedding and all of the mazuri and we generally have extra rats to sell other people.

Some months the rats actually make money, lol.

wow and i thought i was paying a lot at around $50...

Wow there is a lot of money going towards buying and keeping rats! I'm probably spending $30 a month in bedding and food. If I were buying rodents it would be $50 a week.

I use Harlan Teklad for the rats. I'd say I spend around $50-60 every month for food and bedding. I feed almost 20 snakes every week (most being bigger sized balls). I produce more than enough rats. I have tons of excess in the freezer and I also sell to people around me.
