Market Research on Rodent Prices

[ChaosAffect]

I just picked up 50 mouse weanlings for $27.50 from a supplier in North Georgia. I thought that was a pretty damn good price.

I drive to NERD for frozen or a store down the street which seems to have cleaner frozen stuff.

NERD is charging $2 for a pinky or small or mouse and $2.50 or $3.00 for a small to medium

The place down the street charges me $2.00 for pinks and $2.50 for pups and smalls. I think mediums are 3 or so here as well.


I've noticed both places raise prices in the past 6 months or so. Luckily I breed my own now and not only do I have enough for my own snakes, but I've been building up a fair amount of excess.

I get mines from a local breeder about 40 minutes away and I pay $1 per small/med rat but I have to buy more than 100 at a time and take them live and euthanize them myself Good enough reason to quit breeding

i buy from a local guy and tell him the weight i want and he gets me what i want. i will never buy from another guy.Rat pinks are .50small rats are $1.00 and when i say small im talking 30g-55g. anything else i am unsure of.local store charges 1.25 for pinks and 1.75 for small/weened and good luck. you will need a weenling and get 2 around 30g and one around 50g. I am unsure of anything else yet because i have yet to get there.

Oh my goodness thankfully I have an AMAZING feeder breeder fairly close to me. I drive an hour and a half one way to pick them up however I pick up a few months at a time. He kills them and freezes them for me. I just drive down, I usually make a day of the time and visit the area. Then pick up the order put them on ice and head home. My standing order is $200+ so I can only imagine how much it would cost with some of the prices listed!!!

Just paid $80 for 65 small and 5 medium f/t rats from a fellow bp.netter. He's not a professional breeder but he has a nice small operation going.

So thats like $1.15-$1.20-ish per rat.

The local pet store (in CT) charges $4.99 for small live rats and $2.99 for adult mice. And i *think* like $6.99 for medium rats.

I breed my own rats for the balls and boas. But am currently buying a mouse pink a week for the gtp. I just paid $1.30 Friday for a mouse pink.
