Frozen mice in bulk?
Anyone know a good / inexpensive store online to purchase hoppers in bulk? I've been getting mine from Petco but I figure it would just be easier/ less expensive in the long run to buy in bulk. Thanks.

None of my concern but I would suggest switching to rats.

There are several frozen rodent suppliers, depending on where you live.
-
Thanks for the site. Why do you suggest switching to rats?
-
Rats just provide a better meal, especially as your BP grows. Mice will do fine while they are small, but you'll have to feed multiple mice as opposed to a single rat to keep your BP full and happy once he/she is big.
I use rodentpro.com when I buy online. I also pick up frozen rats/mice in bulk at reptile shows.

It is just what I do, I put mine on rats so that way I don't gotta worry bout switching them from mice to rats. Also if they start to deny rats ( I don't know if anyone has had this problem but IF they did then this kinda prevents it) you don't have to worry bout feeding multiple mice to = 1 correct size mouse.... I don't know if this is good advice I am still rather new.

I use Layne Labs because they sell the smallest quantities. I also started with mice. When I switched to rats everything went better.

Thanks like the smaller quantities kinda saves money too.

I never thought of it that way. Seems logical. I may start doing that. Since I'm feeding him hoppers what size rat do you think I should feed? A fuzzie or pup?
-
Well gram for gram a fuzzie rat would match a hopper mouse.
It should be about the same size meal.
If you think your snake can upgrade then go right for pups. Just look at the grams of the prey listed on the website to make sure.

Most the time it is 10% of the balls weight, ie: My spider het ghost can eat a 65 gram rat, my small normal a 32 gram, my large normal a 188 gram

Another good choice and yes Colby's product is excellent. I usually buy from him at the shows...He will be at the ETHS show this Sunday. Last time i had to order his shipping was high but he was just getting started. I ended up going with Big Cheese because of shipping charges...
