Looking for Info on how many feeders you use in 1 month
Hey Guys,
I'm doing some research here.
I'd like to know how many feeders, RATS ONLY for now, you guys go through in one month. Pinks, fuzzies, weaners, smalls, meds, and larges.
Do you purchase weekly or do you stock up, buying maybe a months worth at a time?
Do you pick up or have them delivered?
Could you handle 25-50 frozen at one time?
I'm trying to figure out if there are enough people out there who are tired of paying pet store prices, I totally understand their pricing not looking to even discuss that right now, to make it worth while to step up my own rat breeding.
I've found that I do enjoy it, oddly, and that there is a demand for good quality rats. That's a good place to start, I feed what I breed and my snakes are awesome.
Feel free to pm or email me at wpollock3@yahoo.com if you wish to help me out with numbers and don't want your info out there.
Mods, if this is not allowed feel free to delete it.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

4 or 5 depending on how many friday there are.
I usually purchase 2-4 at a time locally.
I don't mind paying pet store prices and I love being able to window shop for more scaly friends (i get my feeders from twin cities reptiles) on a regular basis.

I buy 200 f/t rats every 4 months and I use around 50 rats a month. I always have them shipped and buy enough rodents for a 4 month period.
In a one month period I use 4 large rats and 46 small rats.

I pick up my rats from Rodent Pro that frequents a bimonthly show here in KC.
I buy 2 months worth, usually end up with ~80 rats every 2 months in the freezer.
