Do you got a local reptile show that comes to you guys? If some some people sell bulk frozen rodents. Rodent pro is who comes to the Columbus and Cleveland shows.

Unfortunately I live in NS, Canada... So they are few and far between, but there's an expo in September that's coming to my university but I somehow doubt there will be f/t there.
I pay $6.80(can)/50 - 70 g f/t rat

Do you post on reptilescanada.com? There's gotta be someone close to you that sells rats for MUCH cheaper.

It was only the second time i tried. I just thawed him real good and heated the head up with a hair dryer. The first time he struck at it and got a mouth full of forcep so he spent about 5 min opening and closing his mouth. Trying to figure out what went wrong i imagine. I went and heated the head up again while he was working it out. Then I offered it to him again this time he struck it and wrapped it. The rest was just like with the live mice.

When i feed ours i pre sent the tub so hes in feeding mode then i hold the mouse at like the top of the tub and lower it in. So hes striking up and if he misses he wont be hitting the substrate with his mouth.
