    Buying f/t in bulk

    I currently buy three packs of f/t adult mice from a pet store for my BP but we run out rather quickly and it gets expensive quick. I've heard that there are places to buy large quantities of frozen mice @ a cheaper bulk price, can anyone give me the name/links to somewhere like this?

    Perfect Prey is my preferred feeder supplier. Big Cheese and Layne Labs are both really good too but Layne Labs shipping charges are a little pricey.

    I've been using Big Cheese Rodents for a few years now. Always been happy with their rats and mice.

    I second that if you have any available (there's one within an hour of me every month or 2).

    I have multiple snakes on different sized feeders so I usually go and get a few months worth incase I can't make it to the next show (and if I do, I can just stock up on anything getting low). There tends to be multiple people, so you can compare prices and don't have to worry about shipping. I take a cooler with ice for the drive home (and some will let you pay for them and hold them in their freezer while you browse). I had gotten a card from a regular I like so last show, I contacted him, gave him my order, and he had everything ready.
    2.7 ball pythons. 0.3 blood pythons
    1.3 spotted pythons. 1.1 tricolor hognose
    1.1 yellow anaconda. 1.0 Kenyan sand boa
    1.1 false water cobras. 4.0 dogs. 1.0 striped skunk.
