    Rodent / Chick Prices (Need to know quick)

    I'm wondering if anybody knows the average prices on large adult mice, weaned mice, and small (around 30-37 gram) chicks at reptile expos, specifically the one in Manassas, VA. I need to know by Wednesday if it's going to be more worthwhile to wait until the show or to order online because there's a good deal running from one of the big online sources that ends Wednesday. I know that if I go the online route I will have to pay for shipping but with the deal that's running I'm thinking that it may still be better to buy online. I know that the prices vary by seller but I'm sure that they are in the same general range so if you happened to buy any of these at any show and remember what you paid I would really appreciate you letting me know so I can make my decision. I was going to buy about 50 of each mouse size and 100 chicks and I know that a lot of the sellers do a quantity discount so just let me know how many were in the bag and the price for the bag.

    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    Here in Michigan the show prices are about halfway between the online supplier prices and pet shop prices. Since the online suppliers either have a minimum box size and charge or require you to spend $100- 125 to get free shipping, it's sometimes worth it for small orders to buy at shows instead.

    I got a reply and it ended up being a little cheaper to get them online and more convenient so I went ahead and ordered.
