Selling Feeders

Where do you sell your leftover feeders? And for how much?

Leftovers? :P

If you have a number of snakes, you can euthanize the extras and feed to the snakes that accept F/T.

If not, you can post an on Craigslist for people in your area that might want the extras. Take a look at some of the F/T feeder businesses for ideas on pricing. The prices for F/T and live are pretty much the same.

If I have leftover, I serve them re-heated :rofl:

If I produce too much which generally happen during winter/ breeding season time as some animal go off feed, I euthanize the feeders and freeze them and than feed them to my females after they lay and resume feeding (female after laying are generally not picky and will eat F/T even if it is not what they are usually fed.)

If I had to sell them I would use Kijiji.com or place an ad on similar website or try to find local herpers that could need the surplus.

I have a few mediums and large breeders right now Im getting rid of, I realize now that some of them are not needed any longer as my plans have changed. I sell them at a lower flat dollar price for pets or feeders since they do get a lot of attention. Proven breeders over 4 times (males) are sold for 50 cents more though along with females having healthy litters 8+ twice. Those come with a family tree and genetics that I know of.

Mostly when I need to get rid of an animal it's because I have more breeders than I need. I don't sell them younger usually.

Who has left overs???

I have left overs until the burms start hatching LOL. When you have 100 hungry little rat disposals its hard to keep up LOL.

I sell only smalls...$1 ea...

Well I tried CL and only sold about 8 rats. Some people say that they can pay for the raising cost by selling left overs (by left overs I mean ones left from what the snakes did not eat). Thanks though.

sold eight in how long though? you should try and sell the to a place that sells rats for food. maybe you can sell to them in bulk(meaning 5 or 10).

I'm nopt at the point to sell left overs yet.

None of the local shops where I'm at will take feeders. They all buy from a private breeder. I put my excess in the freezer and simply stop breeding until I'm running low again. Generally, the time it takes between breeding/weaning/plus a month is enough time for me to finish off the last litter. Although, I'd love to find a place that'd take my excess if I ever get too many.

I sold them over about a month. I will see if any other stores will take them, besides the ones I checked.

You could probably do some networking at a local reptile show and meet some people that need feeders. I'm sure that they would be more than willing to buy them from you instead of from the pet store.

I guess Im lucky I have a guy that is a mouse and rat supplier that buys all my excess. Every two weeks he comes and picks them up and he brings me feed too. I get 1.00 each for smalls 1.50 for medium and 2.00 for large.

i buy all my rats once a month, when they out grow my snakes due to them not eating fast enough i just put them on craigslist for $1 (i buy them for 74 cents each). im not trying to make any money and i have no use for them when they are to big. ive never had any listed for more than a day before they were bought.
