Frozen Feeders in New England?

[Brewster320]

Anyone from the New England area know any good "local" places to pick up frozen rats and mice? Usually I just go to the expo in Manchester pick up feeders and depending on what I had left over from the last expo I have more than enough to last me until the next expo in 6 months. This year I under estimated how many feeders I needed and now in running low. I've checked prices online and the price of shipping is ridiculous and I'd much prefer to avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Personally I've never gone to an expo but I use Gourmet Rodent. You can have it shipped en masse to your door but I buy at PetCo. You can also use PetSmart but do NOT feed live mice or rats. First, it is not humane and prohibited in some states but not only that, they can severely injure or even kill your snake. Gourmet Rodent has $6 shipping for less then 100 animals. PetCo has no shipping fee, only gas. You can buy packs of 1-10 pinkies.

I go to Sabrina's Reptile Kingdom for my feeders, they're in Providence RI. They have tons of different frozen stuff. If you have multiple snakes, I'd suggest breeding them and bopping them before you feed. It will save money and travel time.

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing it at least on small scale and just use frozen feeders as needed

That is complete and utter BS. Feeding live is perfectly fine as long as you monitor the feeding and feed an appropriate size prey item. It is just as humane to feed live, if not more humane. Either way a rodent has to die for your snake to eat. Also please provide proof that its illegal to feed live in some states?
