Feeder rats
Anyone have a good reputable/ cheapish place to get feeder rats in bulk? The local pet store is breaking the budget and I know they're cheaper in bulk. If you know of a good place I'd appreciate the feedback.

Perfect Prey is my go-to. Big Cheese Rodents is also well-regarded. Shop them both for the size and qty of what you need. You'll be happier with either.

Re: Feeder rats
Cali_herpy138 Legally, you can't ship live rodents except by air cargo (delivery to an airport) which is very expensive..i.e. ~$150+ per shipment. You might want to see if there's a local reptile group for CA they might know of someone that breeds feeders in your area.
For odering f/t online, I usually go with perfect prey and big cheese. Both have quality feeders for a good price IMO.
Currently keeping:
1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS

Re: Feeder rats
Coldbloodedcafe is awesome....and cheap.
Big cheese is ALWAYS out of their own inventory sizes and it's usually mediums and larges. I gave up trying to get what I needed from them, but I know they do have a good product.

I was afraid youd say that lol
My Females are very finicky, ive tried to feed them f/t and theyre reluctant to take them. i only have one that takes them but shes my best eater and will eat live. When it comes to feeding live the others are monster eaters.
but i have one male that went on a strike and i couldnt figure out why. he was eating smalls with no issue. then he just stopped.
went on strike for 3 weeks he wouldnt take any smalls...so one day i decided to try a hopper rat and he took it faster then anything i seen. i always try to feed him smalls he wont take them anymore. but he always takes a hopper.
idk maybe he took a bite from one and it put him off, maybe he needs his confidence boosted for a bit.
anyway, i was looking for anyone who ships. the pet stores up here carry small and large but thats about it.
maybe i can get their suppliers info.

Re: Feeder rats
I decided to go with coldbloodedcafe and was very impressed with their packaging and prices. I think I'll stick with them from now on.
